牛津郡计划关闭消防站,削减44个待命工作,引起对应急反应的关切。 Oxfordshire plans to close fire stations and cut up to 44 on-call jobs, sparking concerns over emergency response.

牛津郡县议会已提议关闭Eynsham、Woodstock和Henley的消防站,将其他消防站合并,并设立五个新的日班站,12小时轮班。 Oxfordshire County Council has proposed closing fire stations in Eynsham, Woodstock, and Henley, merging others, and creating five new day-shift stations with 12-hour shifts. 该计划经过公开协商,直到2026年1月20日,可能会导致44个待命消防员失业,并对应急反应能力减弱表示关切。 The plan, under public consultation until January 20, 2026, could lead to up to 44 on-call firefighter job losses, with concerns raised over weakened emergency response. 消防队联盟警告这些变化将危及社区和人员,特别是因为2010年以来有100多名消防员丧生。 The Fire Brigades Union warns the changes would endanger communities and personnel, especially given over 100 firefighter losses since 2010. 理事会官员说,没有作出最后决定,全时作用将受到保护,冗余费用可能达到173 000英镑。 Council officials say no final decisions are made, full-time roles would be protected, and redundancy costs could reach £173,000.
