The closing date for the Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Authority Draft Corporate Plan 2018 – 2023 consultation period is approaching.

This is your Fire and Rescue Service and we want to know what you think of the services we provide and how you believe we can continue to make improvements and future savings.

Our Corporate Plan sets out our Strategic Priorities for the next five years. The plan also contains our 12 Draft Improvement Objectives for 2018/2019, which have been designed to help us deliver against our Strategic Priorities. These Improvement Objectives have been set in the context of the significant challenges facing public services, but also reflect an appetite to embrace innovative ideas and new ways of working.

Over the next year, we will be focusing our efforts on expanding and delivering our holistic home safety intervention to those most at risk within our communities. We are also committed to investing in our people and making the best use of our assets and resources, ensuring our staff are as fully equipped as possible to deal with emergencies and better protect themselves and the communities they serve. As we continue to meet the financial challenges ahead, we will also look to develop innovative solutions to ensure the provision of cost effective and high quality services.

There are only a few weeks left to ‘have your say’ on the proposals outlined in our Draft Corporate Plan 2018-2023. If you wish to comment on the plan, please ensure you do so before the closing date of Friday, December 8.
