There are currently two working pole drops at Wellington Fire Station, Telford, Shropshire. They are used by Firefighters on the station to reduce the time it takes for them to respond to emergency call outs. They also reduce the risk of accidents caused by rushing down flights of stairs, and represent an important tradition within the Fire Service.
There have been plans drawn up for a station refurbishment, that will unnecessarily see the end of both these pole drops. Alternative plans have been suggested that will maintain the use of these pole drops whilst ensuring the station works well in in all other areas that the refurbishment is addressing.
These alternative plans also have the potential to save the Brigade money, as it is believed less building work would be required.
We the undersigned call on The Chief Fire Officer of Shropshire Fire & Rescue Service to maintain the pole drops at Wellington Fire Station, Telford, Shropshire, and consider the alternative plans for the station refurbishment.
