Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue – Precept consultation

Published on by Lesley WebbLeave a comment

Every year we ask our communities and businesses about the level of precept (council tax contribution) for the fire and rescue service. This consultation is open now until midday on 26 November.

We would like to hear from as many people as possible across Devon and Somerset to better understand our residents’ views. Please can you complete the online survey and share this with your networks. Should you or anyone else be unable to complete this online please call 01392 872354 and leave a message with your name and number. Please see attached a poster for you to display if there are any appropriate places, or please include in any timely newsletters you may have. We will also be posting on our social media accounts so please share if you are able to.

Whilst we are aware of the pressures many of us are facing now and in the coming months, your feedback will help to make more informed decisions for the next financial year.
