Revoke the decision to remove the second fire engine from Oakham Fire Station.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Removing the second fire engine and retained crew from Oakham Fire Station will mean slower response times to emergencies, which will have a significant impact, putting life and property at greater risk in Rutland and surrounding areas. The removal of the fire engine is to take place on 31/03/16.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

You could raise your issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:
