Lib Dem petition to save Parkhead Fire Station

Ian Robertson, Liberal Democrat candidate for the Glasgow East by-election, this morning presented a petition to save Parkhead Fire Station from closure to Glasgow City Council.

Hundreds of local residents have signed the petition in support of the Fire Station and the Firefighters who are set to lose their jobs if plans to create a "super-station" in Cambuslang get the go ahead.

Ian said: "It is clear that there is tremendous local support for the Parkhead Fire Station. The FBU have said that closing it will endanger the lives of people across the East End and the voices of the hundreds who have signed the petition should be heard before any decision is made."

He continued: "I launched this campaign last week calling on all parties to stand together to stand up for the East End in protecting this vital local service. I am still waiting for their support. This campaign will continue long after the by-election circus has left town and on the final day of the campaign they should do the right thing and join the campaign and sign the petition."
