Oxfordshire plans to close fire stations, cut jobs, and delay a new station, sparking safety concerns.
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’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.
Concerns include delayed opening of the new station—possibly not until 2029—and reliance on on-call firefighters, which may compromise safety.
The committee demands more detailed information before any decisions.
Public consultation continues until January 20.
