Gloucestershire County Council is considering plans to cut frontline fire cover. They want to close Painswick Fire Station and remove all full-time cover from Cirencester Fire Station.

The local FBU in Gloucestershire has written a letter to MPs and County Councillors demanding that they deliver a budget settlement which provides for a "sustainable, effective and resilient Fire & Rescue Service". Amid fears that the forthcoming budget settlement will be seriously inadequate, the Union has outlined the "severe implications" that further cuts to the Service will bring including increases to response times which will endanger public and firefighter safety.
