牛津郡计划关闭消防站,裁员,延迟新站,引起安全关切。 Oxfordshire plans to close fire stations, cut jobs, and delay a new station, sparking safety concerns.

牛津郡县议会建议关闭Eynsham、Woodstock和Henley的消防站,以一个新的北牛津站取代一些消防站,改为12小时轮班,可能至少削减42个消防员的工作。 Oxfordshire County Council proposes closing fire stations in Eynsham, Woodstock, and Henley, replacing some with a new north Oxford station and shifting to 12-hour shifts, potentially cutting at least 42 firefighter jobs. West Oxfordshire的监督委员会反对该计划,指出对应急反应时间的风险、缺乏最坏情况的数据以及未来住房增长规划不足。 West Oxfordshire’s oversight committee opposes the plan, citing risks to emergency response times, lack of data on worst-case scenarios, and insufficient planning for future housing growth. 关切包括新车站推迟开放——可能要到2029年——以及依赖待命消防员,这可能损害安全。 Concerns include delayed opening of the new station—possibly not until 2029—and reliance on on-call firefighters, which may compromise safety. 在作出任何决定之前,委员会要求得到更详细的资料。 The committee demands more detailed information before any decisions. 公众咨询持续至1月20日。 Public consultation continues until January 20.
