Great to join FBU Reg6 East Midlands campaigning for proper funding to keep our communities safe. A dedicated group of vital public servants who will always have my support. Clear need to debate just how we ensure we commit to ensuring their future.

Firefighters keep us all safe - not just responding to emergencies, but working to prevent incidents as well. Thanks to FBU Reg6 East Midlands for coming to Parliament yesterday. It was great to talk with Lincolnshire firefighters about the challenges locally.

Our members have been under attack in recent days in Nottinghamshire as they have been throughout the country. In England, Home Office figures record 967 attacks on firefighters over the year 2023-2024, a 60% increase compared to attacks a decade prior.

My family remembers this strike and the significance of it well. My Dad, a firefighter in 1977, went out on strike to ensure that his pay was bettered and that the pay of firefighters after him was bettered. My Dad who lost his battle with cancer not long in to his

Attended a great meeting of members at Derbyshire FBU FBU Nottinghamshire control branch this evening. Well organised. Some good chats on pay & control pay. It’s clear though, for control rooms everywhere, more needs to be done to protect and improve wellbeing. Funding is needed.
