Elected Members
Members of the Combined Fire Authority are elected from each of the two Local Authorities. The number of members for each authority is determined by the size of the electoral representation within each authority. The Fire Authority’s political balance is also a reflection of that of the two Local Authorities.
Combined Fire and Rescue Authority Meetings
The Authority meets on a regular basis. Members of the public are welcome at all meetings. For further information visit our website www.ddfire.gov.uk or contact the Governance Team on 0191 375 5555.
