CLOSURE OF PARKHEAD FIRE STATION

Motion Text

That this House notes with concern the recent decision by the Board of Strathclyde Fire and Rescue to close Parkhead Fire Station in Glasgow; further notes that, in the Glasgow districts of Parkhead, Braidfauld and Tollcross, this will lead to average attendance times increasing from four minutes to around eight minutes; further notes that this area will host the Commonwealth Games in 2014; and urges the Board of Strathclyde Fire and Rescue to reconsider this decision.
