A motion agreed at a meeting of the Council was proposed by Councillor Richard Nelson and seconded by Councillor Mark McGeever.

“That this council raises concerns in regards to the removal of the Fire Appliance at Hamilton Fire Station, putting pressure on a retained service and increasing the risk of a reduced service in the South Lanarkshire communities.
“The council agrees to write to the Chief Fire Officer and the Scottish Government to request that the removal of this appliance is re-instated.
“Furthermore, that this council agrees to write to the Scottish Government Minister to request that the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service receives fair and competent funding to continue to provide a service that is safe and ensures the wellbeing of all in our communities.”
