We the undersigned are against any cuts or downgrading of fire and rescue services at the Ridge Fire Station, which will reduce fire cover across Hastings & Rother.
We recognise that any downgrading of fire stations in Hastings will have a negative impact on fire cover and community fire safety across Hastings and the villages in Rother.
We call upon the Government, the local Conservative MP, the Sussex Fire Authority members and the senior officers at East Sussex Fire and Rescue Services to reverse any plans to downgrade or cut fire services at the Ridge Fire Station in Hastings.

Ridiculous idea to cut funding for these guys. They do so much for our area and this is just another way for the council to save money that puts us all at risk.
STOP THE CUTS. Hastings needs its full fire service.
total mistake. you dont mess with emergency services like this. hope someone with some sense actually listens for once.
My house is right down the road from the station. Take it away and we are sitting ducks. Put the money somewhere else!
Keep the station open. We need them here when things go wrong and minutes count.
