Have your say – Fire & Rescue Plan consultation 2024 - 2028

This is an opportunity for anyone who lives, works or visits Staffordshire to have a say on the proposed priorities in the Fire & Rescue Plan 2024-2028.

The plan is a strategic document that sets out the Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner's vision and priorities for keeping people safe in Staffordshire.

The plan is the basis on which the Commissioner holds the Chief Fire Officer to account in terms of performance and works with community organisations to keep Staffordshire safe.

Have your say. We will collate all the responses from the consultation anonymously and use them to inform the plan priorities.

Thank you for taking part.
