Welsh fire services need culture review after ‘shocking’ appointment, FBU and Plaid Cymru say
Firefighters from the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) take part in the Cuts Leave Scars rally outside the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh, calling for an end to cuts imposed on the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service over the last 10 years, October 26, 2023

UNIONS and Plaid Cymru called today for a nationwide culture review following the “shocking” appointment of south Wales’s new fire chief.

The Fire Brigades Union (FBU) questioned whether “due diligence” was done after it emerged Stuart Millington, who was brought in to head up the troubled service, was at the centre of bullying allegations himself.

The former assistant chief fire officer in north Wales will be taken to an employment tribunal in Mold and denies the allegations.
