Responding to reports that the interim chief fire officer of South Wales Fire and Rescue Service has been criticised in a report, Joel James MS, Shadow Minister for Social Partnership, said:
“The Welsh Government’s commissioners have fallen at the first hurdle in cleaning up South Wales Fire.
“Residents and staff will struggle to have confidence in this review when there are question marks hanging over the head of the person the commissioners have appointed as the interim chief fire officer.
“The commissioners should go back to the drawing board and appoint somebody who can command confidence in this process.”
