Closures are not political; Letters.MP Mike O'Brien O'Bri·en , Edna Born 1932. Irish writer whose works, including The Lonely Girl (1962) and Johnny I Hardly Knew You (1977), explore the lives of women in modern-day Ireland. Noun 1. has once again used his position to launch a negative attack, claiming that the proposal to close Bedworth Fire Station among others is somehow a party political move. What is particularly sad is that he has chosen to break a clear local consensus over Bedworth Fire Station, and is apparently seeking to make personal political gain from the situation. Shame on him. Mr O'Brien knows full well that this is not a party political issue. Myself, Marcus Jones Marcus Jones (born August 15, 1973, in Jacksonville, North Carolina) is a former defensive tackle who played his entire 6-year NFL career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Jones was drafted by the Bucs in the 1st round of the 1996 NFL Draft out of the University of North Carolina. (Conservative Candidate for Nuneaton) and the Conservative leader of Nuneaton & Bedworth Borough Council Peter Gilbert are firmly opposed to any plan to close Bedworth Fire Station, and we had over 1,000 signatures for our petition against closure in a matter of hours. Local Conservatives are opposed to this plan, and we are working with the grassroots campaign group led by the wife of a local retained firefighter In the United Kingdom, retained firefighters, also known as retained duty system firefighters are part-time or on-call professional firefighters who have full-time employment outside of the fire service but respond to emergency calls in their local area when required. in a non-party political way to co-ordinate our campaigns. Mr O'Brien also knows full well that this is a recommendation to the county council from the (non-political) Chief Fire Officer, as a result of pressure from Mr O'Brien's own Government. From now until the final day of the public consultation, I will be devoting all of my efforts to persuading the county council to reject the Chief Fire Officer's proposals. Unlike our MP I will not be wasting time playing political games with our Fire Station.
