In response to the changes being proposed by Surrey County Council, Kwasi Kwarteng MP says:
“I am acutely aware of the concerns people have expressed about the changes being proposed to fire service provision in the Borough.”
“I want to make it clear that the idea of shutting two stations and opening a new one with only one fire engine is unacceptable. I fully support Spelthorne Borough Council in their opposition to this.”
“Spelthorne is the most urbanised area of Surrey and must have proper fire protection. At the very least that means having two fire engines stationed here.”
