I am a huge admirer of the fire service, which is now the victim of the policy of unnecessary austerity, destroying our county. I am lecturing ar the Royal Institute of British Architects on 28th November and when I show images of the Halton station, will tell the 400 strong audience of the treat to its survival.

If the ridge appliance is not available the response from bohemia road (6 miles) will be unnaceptable at busy times, such as when the bikers are in town. The ambulance service have found it necessary to set up a community responders scheme in fairlight to improve response times. Fire service please note.
The position of the villages was not dealt with adequately (or at all) in the executive summary, and needs to be rethought.

It is a disgrace that the Fire Authority think it is acceptable to downgrade this station. It seems they are willing to put resident's lives and homes at risk to save money. The Fire Authority have not done all they can to ensure residents, particularly in the rural communities who are most affected by these changes can partake in the consultation which is simply wrong. The extra time that it will take an applicance to reach Rother villages from the Bohemia Fire Station site will result in loss of homes, livelihoods and most importantly loss of life. All of which leads to long term scarring for families due to the trauma of such an event.

While living here has many benefits - not least peace and quiet, lovely views etc - the very character of the East Hill, with its gorse and bracken cover, means that fire is not only dangerous, but inevitable. (Gorse is one of a number of species which requires fire to remove undergrowth and enable its seeds to germinate, thus enabling it to overcome competing plants).While I recognise the need for certain reductions in services due to budgetary constraints, given the above I find the proposals for reductions in service in this area offer a real threat to the safety of residents here. Notwithstanding the threat to human safety, the very real threat to an ancient town and its historic properties should be reason enough to think again. That this threat is increasing, with climate change and the rapid spread of a fire-climax plant such as gorse over the hill) means that a reduction at this time would be folly.
