SAM ROWLANDS, Member of the Welsh Parliament for North Wales, is encouraging people to take part in a consultation on North Wales Fire and Rescue’s plan to continue to prevent and respond to fires and other emergencies in North Wales.
North Wales Fire and Rescue Authority is encouraging people to take part in a consultation on its Community Risk Management Implementation Plan for 2025-26 which runs until December 16.
Mr Rowlands said: “I am a great supporter of involving people, who live and work in North Wales, in decisions which affect their communities and firmly believe they should have the opportunity to have their say on what they want to see from public services like North Wales Fire and Rescue.
“It is vital that if you are interested in giving feedback that you take part in the consultation as your involvement will help shape the future of the service in North Wales.
“If you want to take part you only have a couple of weeks to respond as the consultation closes at midnight on December 16 2024.”
This is the second annual plan containing objectives that will continue to deliver against the 2024-29 Community Risk Management Plan, CRMP.
Chief Fire Officer Dawn Docx said: “One of the key objectives for fire and rescue services in Wales is to continually and sustainably reduce risk and enhance the safety of citizens and communities.
“A Community Risk Management Plan aims to identify risks facing the community and describes how the Fire and Rescue Authority will manage those risks, and continue to prevent and respond to fires and other emergencies.
“In July 2024 we published our five-year CRMP following public consultation and our 2024-25 Implementation Plan, which contained improvement and well-being objectives to enable us to deliver against our long-term objectives.
“We now want our communities to take part in a consultation on the Community Risk Management Implementation Plan for 2025-26.
“This consultation is important to everyone in North Wales and so listening to your views is important to us.
“We want to know if you think we have identified the most appropriate risks and whether our plans and objectives will meet the aims of our five principles.”
To take part, please visit the North Wales Fire and Rescue Service website to complete the questionnaire and to access all the information needed in order to respond to the questions. Direct link here.
You can call or text North Wales Fire and Rescue Service on 07717 516 187, or email [email protected] if you would prefer an easy read format or a paper copy of the questionnaire, which you can return to us free of charge.
The final decision will be made by the Fire Authority – details of the decision-making meeting will be available on the North Wales Fire and Rescue Service website, together with a recording of proceedings.
