A message from the Interim Chief Fire Officer of West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service, Gary Ball:

Good afternoon,

Thank you to all of you who have already taken part in our public consultation on the proposals for our next Community Risk Management Plan and shared your views.

This plan will set out the direction of the fire service for the next four years, and so we are really keen to hear from as many people as possible as part of this public consultation to ensure we are supporting the needs of all residents living and working in our communities.

We are now around half way through our 12 week public consultation period, so if you haven’t yet completed the short online survey I would really encourage you to do so before it closes on September 22 to ensure that we have the widest range of views from our communities as possible.

If you are able to raise awareness of this public consultation with your councillors by sharing this email with them to encourage them to have their say too I really would appreciate any support you are able to provide in helping us spread the message far and wide.

Our consultation can be completed online, or by filling out a paper copy of the consultation. If you would like a paper copy, please either email yourfireservice@westsussex.gov.uk or 01243 786211 and one will be sent out.

Thank you,

Gary
