    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2011
    ): Can I just begin by thanking, through you Chair, the entire staff of LFEPA for their outstanding professionalism during the riots? I wanted to talk to you about the future of the emergency control mobilising centre, the 999 call centre. I have it on good account that the staff of that centre performed magnificently during the riots. In fact, an entire shift stayed on as volunteers to double up the normal capacity. I hope you would not disagree with me if I said it is fair to say that is the most efficient and effective 999 fire control centre...

  • Budget Savings (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 03 December 2008
    Can I just begin by declaring hospitality? I attended the awards lunch at Lords [LFEPA staff achievement awards] and I enjoyed it and I sat next to the Counter-Terrorism Joint Liaison team between the Metropolitan Police Service and the Fire Brigade, who won an award, deservedly, for their work at Operation Tiger Tiger.

It is almost sad to the extent that boroughs are obviously keen for assistance and advice in getting their master plans of projects on but it seems to me that one of the key things that needs to be done...
