Minor disruption due to current vacancy of Senior Fire Management Officer - currently undergoing recruitment. This has delayed some of the planning at this stage of the year. Contingency measures involve redirecting internal branch resources for support at this time. It is anticipated that the current recruitment will not affect the final delivery of the programme.
Councillor Workshop held 1 May 2025 which discussed various options to proceed with the review. A budget bid has also been submitted for consideration. The outcome of the budget process will inform the next steps for the local laws review.
