Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Immingham and the surrounding area has 2 X Fire Stations. Lincs County Council are planning to reduce this. In the area are high risk organisations Oil Refineries, Power Stations, Chemical factories. It will be detrimental to the area to loose a Fire Station which will put local lives at risk

Residents will be put at risk as more cuts to our vital services are reduced to save money.
Response times will increase as other fire stations will have to cover larger areas and in the event of a major catastrophe occurring, the area will not have the right cover to help
