Strategic goal 6

This goal is focused on the work we do to ensure that the Service and its finances are well managed, that we deliver value for money, and that we invest prudently to deliver an outstanding service which is fit for purpose now and in the future.

During the life of the CRMP 2025-28, we will continue to invest in the infrastructure required to maintain a service that is fit for the future. Through those investments we will also seek to reduce our environmental impact, working towards a net-zero carbon footprint. We will continue to focus on strong governance and corporate risk management, to ensure ongoing financial sustainability.

In 2025-26 we will work towards the following objectives:

• Start development of a new fire station to replace Stockhill
• Complete our access and inclusion refurbishment of our on-call stations
• Develop our station-end training facilities
• Migrate to cloud-based version of finance system
• Replace our access control system
• Review our light fleet requirements for community safety and protection teams
• Develop our programme office and project management capabilities
• Develop a decarbonisation strategy and delivery roadmap
