South Yorkshire Joint Authorities

 

 

4.3.1

The Lord Mayor (Councillor Tony Downing) reported that Councillor Douglas Johnson had given advance notice of a question relating to the South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Authority.  The question was “When can Elected Members expect Fire Service reports on special interest incidents to be resumed?”.  The Lord Mayor invited Councillor Tony Damms, the Council’s Spokesperson on the Fire and Rescue Authority, to provide a response.

 

 

4.3.2

Councillor Damms stated that he had raised this with the Fire Service and had been informed that this matter should be resolved shortly.  He added that it would be helpful if Councillor Johnson could contact him to outline what aspects of a special interest incident he felt should be highlighted, and he would then convey this to the Fire Service with a view to ensuring this was built into the reports to be prepared for circulation to Members.
