Aftermath and is Tredegar next for closure?

 

The discredited and badly flawed Vision System that may be causing fatalities

I find it difficult to update this site, as the closure of Blaina Fire Station still really rankles with me, especially as I honestly believe that it could have been saved had we employed some more kind of vigorous campaigning methods, been less squeamish about offending people and not worried too much about upsetting the senior management of the Fire Service.  They were axemen destroying the men and families of a dedicated and professional firefighting team and real men, which is something those at the top of the Fire Service will never be and their feelings should never ever have been considered.

The reason I post now, is that the incompetent leadership ignored the reams of  information provided by people like Councillor Lisa Winnett showing just how effective Blaina was and how in fact they had actually over the years saved British Taxpayers a fortune - all this information can be verified with links to sources in the previous posts.    Worse though, they rode over the wishes of the people of Nantyglo and Blaina and have willfully endangered the lives of their children, and some of you may remember a fatality not long ago that may well have been prevented had Blaina Fire Station still been open.

Now it seems that the system used by the Fire Service to provide the "facts" to use as supporting evidence for the closure of Blaina Fire Station is not fit for purpose according to this report here Catastrophic dispatch system causes fire engine delays.  

Blaina Fire Station was NOT closed to save money but as a precursor to the complete sell off of the Fire Service throughout the UK, in fact the the sell off as already begun and Capita now operate the system in many parts of the Country.

Now it seems that the next target on the hit list of the graduates of the vile Common Purpose  will be Tredegar.  Do I have hard information to support this?  No but I hear whispers and whispers was the start of the end for Blaina.  If I am correct, I hope their firefighters receive more support than Blaina received and perhaps concerned and interested people might like to go through the old posts on this site to see how duplicious the donkeys who lead lions really are.
