This is part of the 12 week consultation agreed to by the Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority on the 2nd October 2014

"Peter Rushton: Greasby consultation meeting to consider the merger of West Kirby and Upton at Greasby. I'm Peter Rushton from Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service, err, I'm here to chair the meeting tonight. Also with us tonight is the Chief Fire Officer Dan Stephens and a number of the senior managers from the Fire Service. On the screen is the agenda for the evening, which includes an explanation of the consultation process and then some of the headlines of the Chief's presentation. This will be followed by an opportunity for yourselves to make comments and ask questions. The Chief's presentation is going to cover statutory duties of the Fire and Rescue Authority, the financial challenges we face, budget decisions, the merger options that we've considered and the proposals on the Greasby Fire Station. Just to make it clear that this is not a planning consultation, but a consultation about changes in fire cover, whether in the circumstances our proposals are reasonable. It's the fourth public meeting we've held and obviously the second in Greasby. The others in West Kirby and Upton and we're also holding deliberative forums,"

Dan Stephens (Chief Fire Officer, Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service) explains the proposals and the purpose of the consultation.
