Committee at its February meeting concerning the provision of a
vehicle which had 4x4 capability at
Marple Fire Station, a response had been received from David Acton,
Chair of the Greater Manchester Fire Authority. In his letter,
David explained that the decision to withdraw the provision was
based on the ineffectiveness of the vehicle – whilst it
provided off road capability in snow – it did not have
adequate firefighting equipment on board. The vehicle added very

had been withdrawn. |
