TEST Valley residents are being urged to have their say in shaping the future of their fire service.

People from across the region are being encouraged to complete a short online survey, which provides them an opportunity to influence the way Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service is run.

The service is currently undergoing a major review with the need to meet sweeping £12m budget reductions.

Area manager Steve Foye, who is leading the service's review, said: “As council tax payers, the Hampshire public are our customers and so it is absolutely right we give them a voice in how their fire service looks in the future.”

The survey, which will be open until December 7, can be found at hantsfirepublicsurvey.
