MOTION BY COUNCILLORS B LEISHMAN AND D CUTHBERT Scottish Fire and Rescue Service Cuts Acknowledging the vital service that Scottish Fire and Rescue Service provide to the people of Perth and Kinross, in line with the scrutiny role of the Housing and Social Wellbeing Committee, this motion resolves to: • Note, with grave concern, the operational decision of SFRS to decommission an appliance at Perth Fire Station. • Request a meeting with SFRS decision makers and representatives of the local service with elected members and relevant Council officers to seek more detailed information and express the view for the withdrawal of the proposal to decommission an appliance at Perth Fire Station. • Provide reassurance to the SFRS of the Council's continued commitment to working together with them as a much respected and valued public partner, to safeguard and protect the communities that we serve.
