We are delighted that this work has resulted in £1.5 million of investment to strengthen fire and rescue capability in our town. This is about far more than funding for the Fire and Rescue Service. It is also an example of what can be achieved when local representatives and public services work together with a shared purpose. By combining the operational expertise of Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service with determined engagement with ministers, we have secured an investment that will benefit Barrow for years to come.
