ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. £1.2m Needed.","background":"We urge the Government to increase funding for Cleveland Fire Brigade by £1.2m to protect the public.\r\nCleveland is a unique area, with a huge industrial landscape, large travel networks and a growing community who face dangerous cuts. Financial deficit is forcing reductions, putting lives at risk.","additional_details":"Since 2010, Cleveland Fire Brigade has seen a reduction to our frontline cover by 33%, which equates to roughly 160 jobs. Cleveland FBU believes firefighter and public safety is being put at severe risk by further cutting frontline cover. We believe the communities we serve deserve better and we have decided to draw our line in the sand and fight for more funding and resources. \r\n\r\nThe initial removal of an appliance overnight at Thornaby, with more to follow, is dangerous and must be stopped.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":10,"created_at":"2026-08-18T08:56:22.364Z","updated_at":"2026-09-11T15:22:20.677Z","rejected_at":"2026-09-11T15:22:19.378Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-08-18T09:09:40.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"local","details":"We can’t accept petitions that call for action at a local level.\r\n\r\nYou could ask your MP to take action on your concerns about this issue, including by asking them to present a public (paper) petition about this.\r\n\r\nYou can find contact details for your local MP here: https://members.parliament.uk/FindYourMP\r\n\r\nAnd you can find out how to ask your MP to present a public (paper) petition here: https://www.parliament.uk/get-involved/sign-a-petition/paper-petitions/\r\n\r\nYou could also raise your issue with a local councillor who represents you.
