That the following motion,
proposed by Councillor Tindall and seconded by Councillor England
be agreed;.
“Council affirms the view that
the Fire and Rescue Service should remain under the control and
democratic accountability of Hertfordshire County Council, rather
than being taken over by the Police and Crime Commissioner. Council
therefore fully supports the view taken by the County Council in
this regard, and its Leader’s submission to the Home
Office.
Council instructs the Chief Executive to write to the Home Office in a similar vein, confirming this Council’s opposition to the proposed takeover.”
