After many months of campaigning to keep Clapham Fire Station open Lambeth Conservatives welcome the news that the fire station will not close.
Commenting, Lambeth Conservatives Group Leader John Whelan said: “This is fantastic news for the community and the borough as a whole.
"The Lambeth Conservatives have opposed the closure from the start and are delighted that our constructive community lead campaign has been a success.
“This is in sharp contrast to Lambeth Labour who were all talk and no action.
"When it came down to it they reverted back to their Union paymasters and ignored the community that mattered.”
“The Labour Councillors were asleep at the wheel.
"They didn’t bother participating in the community business plan and did not properly engage with James Cleverly, Chairman of the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority, about the rescue. It was left to Lambeth Conservatives to do the heavy-lifting.”
