Asked by: Margaret Greenwood (Labour - Wirral West)
Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, if he will review the Government's allocation of funding to Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority and closure of the two fire stations in Wirral West constituency.
Answered by Mark Francois
The 2015-16 Local Government Finance Settlement was approved by Parliament on 10 February 2015, and we have no plans to change this.
The closure of fire stations is a matter for Merseyside Fire Services to determine its own operational activities through its integrated risk management plan, in consultation with the local community.
