Agenda item

Statements by Members of the Executive had been circulated with the agenda.

In addition to the statements already circulated, Councillor C N Worth, Executive Councillor for Culture and Emergency Services, reported that he had hoped to give a report on the first inspection by HM Constabulary and Fire and Rescue, however, the Home Office had decided to delay publication of this report for another week.

Members were advised that this report would now be published on Thursday, 20 December 2018, and a summary of that report would be circulated to all members.

The Executive Councillor reported that he and senior officers from the Fire Service would regularly visit fire stations around the county, and would welcome any other councillors who wished to attend.  Members were encouraged to visit their local fire stations to strengthen the link between the fire station and the community.
