Andrew raised the threatened closure of 8 fire stations across Wiltshire and Dorset - including Mere and Wilton - with the loss of 96 retained firefighters under Dorset and Wiltshire Fire Authority proposals with Sir Keir Starmer at Prime Minister's Questions today.  

The PM said he would arrange a ministerial meeting to hear funding proposals from local MPs that would save the stations. 

Speaking afterwards Andrew said; 

"I'm pleased with Sir Keir's undertaking and look forward to discussing a rescue plan with ministers urgently that will save our threatened fire stations and the dedicated firefighters that staff them."
