Scottish Fire and Rescue Services: draft strategic plan
When Scottish Fire and Rescue Services were mapping out their Strategic Plan for 2016-19, they wanted to hear from stakeholders and the public about the proposed outcomes, priorities and objectives. They used Citizen Space to invite comments on the plan online. Based on the feedback received, they made changes to the draft plan, in particular providing further clarification or emphasis where requested.
Other fire and rescue issues using our tools include:
- Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service, UK, Have your say
- Proposed changes to fire cover in the Spelthorne area, Surrey County Council, UK
- West Midlands Fire Service Consultation, Birmingham City Council, UK
- Dublin Fire Brigade - Fire and Emergency Operations Plan Public Consultation
- Cumbria Fire & Rescue Service Integrated Risk Management Plan
- Help the Fire and Rescue Service stay ‘Safer in our Hands’, West Sussex County Council, UK
I would encourage people to take advantage of this opportunity to be part of the decision-making process and to let their views and ideas for the future be made known.

Public policing priorities
The Police Service of Northern Ireland and the Northern Ireland Policing Board wanted to hear from the community and key stakeholders on the future of local policing in Northern Ireland. They used a Policing Priorities Simulator to put citizens in the driving seat, experiencing first-hand the difficult choices about where resources should go and what areas of policing are prioritised.
With your input, we will enhance local policing to focus on what matters to you and your community. We need your views on the future of local policing in Northern Ireland – our future, your views.
