Supplementary memorandum by Helen Mason
(FRS 01(a))
Regarding regional fire controls:
We have been told that the reason for cutting
48 fire controls down to nine is due to the terrorist threat.
We were told that the new RCCs would be secure premises, safe
from terrorist attack. Why then, are they all going to be built
on business parks? What controls will there be over which businesses
set up adjacent to the premises? How will we stop a car bomb being
parked up on a business park? How can this be resilient? The initial
criteria indicated that the RCCs would be out in a place where
they can be completely secure, yet every one is a glass building
on a business park. This is not what we were told was going to
happen.
