Plans to change how the fire service operates in Scarborough will be on show today as one local councillor says the changes will lead to problems.
The Fire Commissioners office will be holding a roadshow outside the Brunswick centre providing more information on the proposal to add a second full fire engine to the Scarborough station during the day, but reduce availability to one engine during the night.
Local councillor Sam Cross is opposing the changes.
North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue want to bring a second full fire engine into use in the town to replace the existing tactical response unit.
The new engine would be more capable but would only be staffed during the day when the service says there are more call outs.
Thomas Thorpe from the Police Crime and Fire Commissioners office says the changes are about matching resources to demand.
North Yorkshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Zoë Metcalfe, has now launched a three-month consultation to listen the public’s views on the proposed changes to fire and rescue services ahead of making her final decisions.
Commissioner Zoë Metcalfe and her team will be in Scarborough today, outside the Brunswick Shopping Centre from 10am until 4pm to discuss these proposals with the public.
Further information on the proposals, details on local consultation events and a link to complete the questionnaire can be found at https://www.northyorkshire-pfcc.gov.uk/rrm/
