A public meeting is taking place on the future of the fire service, with Clapham Fire Station under threat of closure.

The meeting at Lambeth Town Hall aims to let the community comment on the future of the London Fire Brigade.

In March the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority (LFEPA) draft fifth London Safety Plan earmarked Clapham Fire station for closure.

The plan outlines how the authority will deliver the service over the next three years.

Proposals include closing 12 fire stations, removing 18 fire engines, relocating four fire engines and reducing the number of firefighter posts by 520 to make savings of £28.8m.

A consultation on the Draft Fifth London Safety Plan began on March 4 and will continue until June 17, with a final decision made later this year.

The meeting is taking place on Thursday, May 16, from 7-9pm at Lambeth Town Hall, Brixton.
