East Sussex Fire Authority Announce Cuts to Establishment - Market Wire
EAST SUSSEX, ENGLAND--(Marketwire - June 11, 2012) - On the 7th June the Chairman of East Sussex Fire Authority, Councilor John Livings issued a communication regarding cuts to the establishment within East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service.
The FBU are wholly opposed to any cuts in establishment within East Sussex. Frontline posts have already been reduced due to cuts within East Sussex.
Any further cuts to the already reduced establishment will put public lives at risk. The public need to know that by cutting firefighter jobs, having fewer fire engines available and other cuts will delay intervention.
Social deprivation and fire go hand in hand and therefore the most vulnerable in our society including the elderly, children and lowest paid will be put at the greatest risk if these cuts go ahead.
Deaths caused by fire within East Sussex have sharply risen over the last year and any further cuts, in the opinion of the FBU, will lead to even more deaths.
Not only will any cuts to frontline services put the public at greater risk, it will also increase the risk to firefighters. Firefighting is a dangerous occupation, in recent years firefighter deaths have reached alarming levels.
The FBU is committed to protecting the public and protecting firefighters.
East Sussex FBU will oppose any job cuts with all means available.

London Broncos 28 Widnes Vikings 24 - runcornandwidnesweeklynews.co.uk
Jun 11 2012 by Daniel Mckenzie, Runcorn and Widnes Weekly News
A LAST-GASP Antonio Kaufusi try denied Widnes their first away win of the season against London at the Twickenham Stoop on Saturday.
The Broncos prop touched down in the final seconds of the match to lift his side above the Vikings and off the foot of the Super League table.
Widnes were on the back foot for large periods of the game – especially in the first half – but went into the break level at 12-12 and lead by two points going into the final minute.
Then, with the final play of the game, Kafusi powered his way through an exhausted Widnes defence to break the hearts of the hundreds of travelling Vikings fans.
The Vikings got off to a flying start and Cameron Phelps opened the scoring after two minutes.
Phelps, again playing at full-back in Shaun Briscoe's absence, burst onto John Clarke's well-timed pass to touch down to the right of the sticks. Ah Van added the extras.
But straight from the restart a Widnes mistake gifted London possession and the Vikings were made to work hard in defence to shut out three repeat sets.
The home side continued on the front foot and eventually turned pressure into points when Craig Gower touched down after 13 minutes. Jason Golden levelled the scores with the conversion.
After 20 minutes of stalemate, in which Widnes struggled to get out of their own half, London took the lead when Omari Caro finished off a well-worked last tackle move.
But the Vikings sparked into life in the closing stages of the half and Frank Winterstein popped up with a collector's item of a try seconds before the hooter.
Winterstein used all of his 18-stone frame to power his way to the line after Ah Van had gone close. The successful conversion meant the side's went in level at the break 12-12.
The Vikings started the second half in similar vein to the first, with Phelps again crossing in the early stages after good work by Jon Clarke.
The scores were level once again five minutes later when substitute forward Tony Clubb powered over a break by London's pacey winger Kieran Dixon.
Paddy Flynn then denied Dixon what looked to be a certain try with an outstanding last ditch tackle.
Widnes then had several chances to reestablish their lead in a long period of possession but first Paul McShane and then Ah Van had tries chalked off by referee Robert Hicks.
They did eventually get their noses in front however when Winterstein completed his brace with an hour played, latching onto Rhys Hanbury's precision pass.
Ah Van then had a chance to put a bit of daylight between the two sides but was off target with a penalty from 45m out.
Moments later Paddy Flynn came up with yet another try-saving tackle moments later, again denying Dixon and forcing the error.
And when Daniel Sarginson crossed for London with just seven minutes left to played, it looked as though the Vikings had been denied securing back-to-back victories for the first time this year.
But from the conversion Golden missed the chance to tie things up, leaving Widnes two points ahead with minutes to play.
However, with the final play of the match Antonio Kaufusi powered his way through the tiring Widnes defence to win the match for his team in the most dramatic fashion.
Vikings coach Dennis Betts said: “We have to stay philosophical about it. Last week we won a game in the last minute and this week we lose in the last minute.
“I thought we did enough to deserve something from the game, although we did have to spend a lot of our time defending and that took a lot of energy out of us.
“I'm really disappointed as this was a great opportunity to push ourselves away from the foot of the table and we have not taken it.”

Government must support London airport expansion - bdaily.co.uk
The Government must support the expansion of London airports, or risk damaging the economy. a global industry figure has warned.
According to the director general of the International Air Transport Association Tony Tyler, there is a risk that London’s future as a pre-eminent financial centre could be put at risk by “withering connections”.
Speaking at the annual Iata meeting in Beijing, Mr Tyler said: "What is happening in the UK is very sad, because the UK has traditionally played a leading role in world aviation, over many decades, but it is going to see that leading role badly eroded unless something is done about hub capacity in the south-east and that really means Heathrow.
“Why is London such a leading financial centre? There are several reasons, but one of them is that it is so well connected with the rest of the world. As those connections start to wither away because of the pressure on capacity at the hub we will see that getting damaged and of course continental competitors are there to take up the slack.”
In the next few months the Government is expected is announce the results of a long-awaited air policy review, which will include a call for evidence oh hub capacity. Many Conservative MP’s have called for the Government to reconsider its policy on Heathrow expansion, after the coalition said that it was formally opposed to any new runways being built in the south east,
He continued: “It is really up to the UK to take some tough political decisions which will benefit the UK in the long run.
“The problem is of course that there may be a short term political price to pay for what is undoubtedly necessary for the UK to be able to develop in the way it has in the past.”
He went on to criticise air passenger duty in the UK, which he described as the “biggest aviation tax in the world”.
Over the past four years UK passenger numbers have witnessed a small decline, while Germany, France and the Netherlands - which are home to rival hub airports to Heathrow have all witnessed growth of between 2-4%.

The flooding did not affect any patients and the water was pumped out by West Sussex Fire and Rescue services overnight. The team received more than 200 flood-related calls overnight.
Meanwhile, residents in more than 20 basement flats close Littlehampton seafront had to be evacuated after they were flooded by more than one metre of water. A temporary rescue centre has been set up at the Inspire Leisure Centre. It is being run by Arun District Council and manned by the Red Cross Fire and Emergency Support Centre.
No-one was injured in Littlehampton but the emergency services warned people to keep away from the floodwater as it could be mixed with sewage after manhole covers had been lifted.
Flood warnings have been put in place for the River Mole and Gatwick Airport.
Major roads have been closed after up to 70mm of rain fell overnight. The A29 Shripney Road in Bognor was closed due to heavy flooding and other major roads such as the A23 at Horley, the A27 and the A2037 at Henfield have also been affected.
West Sussex received the worst of the weather and emergency services have been busy dealing with flooding incidents around Littlehampton and BognorAgencies who are involved and co-ordinating their response include Southern Water, the police and the Environment Agency.
Early this morning, just after 7am, the A23 was blocked both ways near Handcross because of an overturned car. On the same road near the Southwick tunnel, an accident caused the road to be blocked westbound at around 7:15am with traffic backed up to Hangleton.
London Road in Burgess Hill was closed due to a falling tree on the A259.
The Environment Agency issued flood alerts for the River Adur, the River Uck near Uckfield and Ifield Brook near Crawley.
The River Ouse and the Cuckmere were also being closely monitored.
A spokesman from Sussex Police said: "Extra care should be taken when driving because of large amounts of surface spray on roads and fallen trees. There may also be disruption to other travel and outdoor activities."

Tom Cruise at London premiere of Rock of Ages - Evening Express.co.uk
THE stars of new movie musical Rock of Ages walked down a sparkling carpet shaped like a giant electric guitar at its London premiere.
Tom Cruise and Russell Brand rubbed shoulders in London’s Leicester Square, along with co-stars Julianne Hough, Mary J Blige, Malin Akerman and Diego Boneta.
The Mission: Impossible star – who plays rock singer Stacee Jaxx in the film – revealed he learned to sing for the role.
He said: “I applied the principles of how I learn anything. I started with the vocal coach and he just taught me the same way that preparing for a stunt, I work with the stunt team.
“I’m just learning how to move air through the body, ’cause really that’s what singing is – developing those muscles.
“So I learned technically how to sing and then I really had to find that rock voice.”
Comedian Russell lost his temper with revellers in the crowd who heckled him, shouting that he looked like “Jesus” and “a homeless person”.
And he also revealed he gave his character a Brummie accent as a tribute to Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne.
