Public opinion is important to us. Sometimes proposals are made that may affect the levels of service that we provide to our communities, or affect them in an area they live or work.
In these cases, we are committed to publishing our proposals and actively encouraging feedback. The results of any consultation will help us make decisions and shape our services, as well as better understand our communities' needs. In this area we will publish all of our current consultations, as well as the outcomes of recent consultations.
Current Consultations
Unwanted Fire Signals Cost Recovery
Unwanted fire signals (UFS), particularly from automatic fire alarm systems (AFA), have increased due to factors such as the rise of student accommodation, new building developments, and regulatory changes. These incidents impose significant strain on LFRS resources.
This consultation aims to balance fire safety needs with operational efficiency, encouraging better fire alarm system management through cost recovery for false alarms, which in turn should reduce the unnecessary use of fire service resources.
