Save Gloucestershire's TriService Emergency Centre

If you're wondering why there's been a gap in blog entries well I've been away a few days in Devon with family - I will now try and catch up with my 350 emails, pile of post and phone messages - and there are a number of issues that I want to share in this blog.

Firstly it is great to see that following the success of Gloucestershire’s TriService Emergency Centre in coordinating emergency services during the floods that a new campaign has been launched to save it from being relocated in Taunton - this campaign to stop the relocation has been going for some years now - infact I have just come across Green party comments from 2005 - see here and here - anyway I strongly urge folk to sign the petition here:

Can't see any sense at all in moving the Triservice operations to Taunton. Aside from any other issues, the cost alone surely can't be justified; why not use the funds instead to repair the collapsed A46 near Stroud properly once and for all?!

Our Government seems set on evermore centralisation when what we need is localisation.
