Fire service shake-up gets boost
A major shake-up of fire services in the East of England and East Midlands has been backed by councillors.

Northamptonshire County Council this week backed proposals to share a fire service control room with Leicestershire and Lincolnshire.

On Thursday, Suffolk County Council backed plans to set up a committee to merge control rooms in the East.

This would include Essex, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire fire and rescue services.
