We need the fire station in the village as we are so far from full time stations

This would be a real shame and a dangerous decision for the locals.

Manea Fire station cannot close. It needs to remain open, it puts the village and surrounding areas at risk.

We are secluded and isolated enough. Do not need any further risk.

Closing Manea fire station will put lives at risk and is not worth any amount of savings!

This is a growing village and has a lot of vulnerable residents that need the faster response time.

There's a reason why there's a retained(on call )station in that area in the 1st place if its a growing community it needs to remain unfortunately the closing of stations is happening all over I just hope the one making this decision doesn't need to rely on these services .

Local stations remove the burden on Larger 'Town' stations. Also, being a rural community surrounded by farmland, as climate change has shown in recent years there is more frequent chance of field fires. How many lives will be lost due to fires or crashes in the Manea area?

Local valuable resource that is needed - all this centralising only benefits people close to the central point - the response times in our rural areas will be awful, so the local stations must be kept open.

How many examples of the rich destroying the poor do we need? Our voting has to be fixed so we can accurately get what we want.

The closing of Manea fire station would be terrible for our remote village, particularly given the continued decline in the conditions of the roads coming into the village, which will affect response times for engines attending from outside of the village. I dearly hope that there will not be a tragedy as a result of the decision to close our station.
