:00:11. > :00:13.Good evening. Plans by Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service to share
:00:14. > :00:16.control room facilities havd been criticised by politicians.
:00:17. > :00:19.The Chief Fire Officer told the Sunday Politics in the Midl`nds
:00:20. > :00:23.that he needs to save money. But MPs have questioned why the brigade is
:00:24. > :00:26.holding almost ?9 million in its reserves. BBC Radio Shropshhre's
:00:27. > :00:36.Political Reporter Joanne Gallacher has the details.
:00:37. > :00:45.Another poll comes through `t Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service
:00:46. > :00:48.in shrews bree, but does it really matter where 999 is answered.
:00:49. > :00:55.Shropshire's fire chief clahms he could save money every year if they
:00:56. > :01:02.share The Call Centre with `nother brigade. We need to start m`king and
:01:03. > :01:06.giving proposals to the Fird Authority to save money so we can
:01:07. > :01:10.balance the budget. The timds are undoubtedly tough. The Fire Service
:01:11. > :01:16.has already had to cut its budget by ?3.2 million since 2010. A further
:01:17. > :01:23.?900,000 has to be saved ovdr the next six years. It is reckoned that
:01:24. > :01:30.I'm urging fire control centres around ?300,000 could be saved in
:01:31. > :01:35.the future `` by merging. Sharing services possibly with Hereford
:01:36. > :01:37.Worcester or Warwickshire could be an option. But there are qudstions
:01:38. > :01:43.from local MP is about the `mount they have in their reserves. One
:01:44. > :01:46.thing I still have not had adequately answered by the Fire
:01:47. > :01:50.Authority is that they have reserves of almost ?9 million. I am very keen
:01:51. > :01:53.over the course of this process to find out what they intend to do with
:01:54. > :01:58.that money, because they ard considerable reserves. The Chief
:01:59. > :02:03.Fire Officer says the money may be needed to meet future budget
:02:04. > :02:09.challenges. The reserves will be spent over the next five, shx years.
:02:10. > :02:12.The other thing is that the reserves give the CFA and the Fire Atthority
:02:13. > :02:19.options about changes they can make in future proposals we put for to
:02:20. > :02:22.them. The public consultation is due to end in September.

:02:45. > :02:47.there's a plan by hard line Muslims to take over the running of
:02:48. > :02:50.some of the city's schools. Ofsted will also publish a report
:02:51. > :02:53.following their inspections. But as Joan Cummins has been finding out,

:03:08. > :03:13.subjected to an Islamificathon programme has caused outcry.
:03:14. > :03:15.One leading education acadelic says the changes to
:03:16. > :03:22.an academy system have fuelled concerns.
:03:23. > :03:31.These are schools which havd been prompted to be autonomous, to go
:03:32. > :03:35.their own way. If in so doing they become more fragmented and serve a
:03:36. > :03:38.small population over and against the interest of the broader
:03:39. > :03:40.community, that creates a problem for the academy schools project as a
:03:41. > :03:43.whole. Ofsted and the
