Seeing this kind of movement confirms that our town understands the danger of losing our full-time crew. My own family sleeps much better knowing those engines are ready to go in seconds rather than waiting for an on-call response.

Watching the signature count climb toward two hundred and fifty reminds me that I am not the only one terrified by these cuts to our town. We need to keep this momentum going because our families deserve better than a fifteen minute wait in an emergency. Please push this out to your neighbors tonight.

Absolute madness. You cant just rely on on-call crews during a major emergency. Who thinks this stuff up honestly?
LONG EATON NEEDS THIS STATION. The extra response time could cost lives and i dont see how anyone thinks this is a good idea.
Ridiculous decision. We pay enough in council tax already without getting less service for it. Keep our station full time.
Five minutes is way too long when a house is burning down. My kids live here and I dont want them at risk because of some budget cut.
We are right next to the motorway and the rail line. If something big happens we need a crew ready to go immediately not waiting for someone to get to the station.

I cannot believe this has even been considered, we are strategically placed for motorway, rail and flight incidents as well as domestic fires. Keep it open!
