I am really pleased to have been re-appointed to the
Tayside Fire and Rescue Board after the recent election. The first meeting of the new board took place in Forfar on Monday, you can see the agenda
here. Although it is likely that Tayside Fire and Rescue will cease to exist in a year's time it is important that a priority is given to the work of the Fire and Rescue service in Tayside until then. The public need to receive a service until the new national fire and rescue service comes into existence. I made the point at the meeting that it is important that the new service continues to promote engagement with the local community.
