Public Meeting on Fire Service Cuts in Southwark

The London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority (LFEPA) is currently consulting on its new London Safety Plan.

The leader of Southwark Council, Cllr Peter John, and the London Assembly member for Lambeth and Southwark, Val Shawcross AM, are hosting a meeting at City Hall with people in the borough to discuss what this will mean for the borough and how you can get involved in the consultation.

Southwark Council is very concerned about the proposal to close Southwark Fire Station and to reduce the number of pumps at Peckham Fire Station. In addition, closures in places like New Cross will also affect the number of pumps and speed of response to incidents in Southwark.

This meeting will be an opportunity to find out more about the proposals and what you can do to ensure your voice is heard.

This meeting is being held two weeks before LFEPA holds its official consultation meeting at City Hall.
