  • Community Fire Safety Work (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    Am I right in saying that the target for the percentage of time spent on community fire safety at station level has risen from 6 per cent to 8 per cent? Looking at the actual performance last year, over a third of our stations exceeded 10 per cent and one of them, Sutton, according to the figures, spent 25 per cent of their time on community fire safety. Is not 8 per cent really too low as a target, therefore, and should we not be getting the average a lot higher?

    If some can achieve above 20 per cent, can we not encourage the others too?
  • Shift Patterns (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    Just in case Londoners watching this think that London Fire Service is always locked in disputes about things, I think other answers and briefings we have seen show that there has been massive development of work practices and cooperation, for example, community fire safety work, which I think all Londoners would welcome. This does look like an impending dispute and I am wondering how you see it evolving and being managed and, without carrying your negotiations on in public, what you see as being the bottom line, the problems, the challenges that we face in addressing those?

    Has LFEPA consulted fire fighters on the proposed changes to the shift patterns and why do you think that the changes will bring benefits to the workforce and Londoners?

    Okay, if I can just take it in stages. In terms of the progress, and clearly there is time involved, but we are on course to get all 10 relocated by March 2006 as per the plan, I hope.

    Moving on indeed to the response times themselves, I think that we have new indicators here, particularly in relation to the second fire engine. Previously we were monitoring this in terms of the percentage of incidents at which attendance times met national standards of fire cover, where London was performing less well than some of the other Metropolitan Authorities. I think we have now got two new indicators and on the second fire engine point, the target is to respond within eight minutes on 75% of occasions. That is the key one, I think I am right in saying, on...

    Those are London-wide targets. Overall, there is a net improvement, which is why we were very much in favour of this. However, clearly there are local variations and the concerns that were expressed last March were particularly that, while crudely outer London would benefit and needed to benefit, inner London would somehow lose out. Can you tell us how the response times for the second appliances are working out within those areas where there was concern that the loss of a second appliance would hit them.
