Vacancies on the LGA Fire Commission have arisen for Labour members, so we are asking councillors who are members of fire authorities to self-nominate themselves if they wish to become members.
The Fire Commission provides a forum to discuss matters of common interest and concern to fire authorities. Combined fire and rescue authorities and principal authorities with a fire and rescue service each nominate a member to represent them, and additional members from fire authorities are appointed by the political groups to ensure political balance.
These roles will require attendances at meetings in London and in other parts of the country. Travel and subsistence costs incurred in attending Committee/Commission meetings should be met by the member’s home authority. If you currently sit on a fire authority and are interested in nominating yourself please email lewis.addlington-lee@local.gov.uk.
