MP continues to support residents in struggle for Windsor Fire Service

19th February 2009

Windsor MP Adam Afriyie has vowed to continue supporting local residents and Councillors in their fight to keep Windsor Fire Station open 24 hours. This is despite the recent High Court decision that the Fire Authority’s original consultation was not flawed.

Mr Afriyie has been active on the issue for several years campaigning alongside local residents and tabling an Early Day Motion in Parliament last year, to raise awareness of the proposed closure.

On hearing the disappointing news, Mr Afriyie said:

‘We’re all concerned about the impact the closure will have on the safety of local residents and the protection of local tourist attractions in Windsor.  

I have campaigned alongside local councillors and residents to stop the overnight closure and the Council have done everything they can by taking the issue to court. 

The court’s decision is certainly disappointing, but I will continue to support residents in their fight to save Windsor Fire Station.’

People are happier when making their own decisions.

Business is the engine of the economy that generates our jobs, incomes and taxes.

Government should not interfere in our lives beyond protecting and defending us.
