Dundee SNP Councillors on Fire Board need change of heart
“I am pleased that Councillor Ken Guild (SNP Ferry Councillor and Leader of the City Council) has seen sense and says he is no longer of the view that Balmossie fire station should be downgraded. This is all very well but Ken Guild is not a member of the Fire and Rescue Board. It was the votes of his colleagues, Dundee SNP Councillors, which were decisive at the Fire and Rescue Board meeting in November. They voted as a block to include downgrading Balmossie in the current consultation. They also voted as a block to exclude from the consultation document the wider range of statistics that Councillor Guild now says have persuaded him to change his view. Will he now assure his constituents in the Ferry that his SNP colleagues will have a change of heart when the results of the consultation are considered by the Fire and Rescue Board?"
