"I am deeply saddened by the recent tragic events at Atherstone-on-Stour in which four Warwickshire Firefighters lost their lives in the line of duty. I extend my deepest sympathies to the families and friends of the Firefighters.
Whilst we can never undo those tragic events, members and officers of Warwickshire County Council have, following direction from my office, opened a Fund to support the families and friends
On behalf of and in my capacity as Chairman of the Warwickshire County Council I endorse the Warwickshire Firefighters Families Fund and welcome contributions to the Fund from all individuals and organisations, both private and public."Cllr John Wells
The purpose of this endorsement by our Chairman is to comply with the Local Government Act 1972, section 137 subsection 3, paragraph (c) which allows Parish, District councils etc to donate Parish funds into our fund |
