Local residents have put forward a new proposal for Manchester Square Fire Station in which the Metropolitan Police would share the station, thus reducing the costs to LFEPA. What is LFEPA's reaction to this proposal?

It sounds as though it is a major constraint on the modernisation of the service. I am just wondering if you have done any lobbying with the relevant parties because it has always been the impression that I have had, with English Heritage certainly, that they have the listing without the financial responsibilities and it is something they need to be more receptive to.

My other question to Valerie (Shawcross) is that I hear what you say about...

I am very happy to take that as an undertaking. My final question is, in terms of community fire safety work, I know that the FBU and fire workers have had mixed feelings about their duties in this area and it has been challenging to get the responses and figures up. Do you feel that enough training and confidence has been developed in the workforce to reach out into the hardest parts of the community? For example I see people standing outside supermarkets with information leaflets but you do not know whether they are going into some of the more...
