Councillors in south-west Shropshire are getting concerned that they could lose fire cover if firefighters are not vaccinated urgently. New rules have been introduced that require firefighters to self-isolate for ten days if they have been in contact with someone who has tested positive with Covid-19. That could decimate fire cover in rural areas of Shropshire and take out entire stations.

Heather Kidd and Nigel Hartin,Lib Dem Shropshire Councillor for Clun Division, has made an urgent plea for more information on the roll-out of the COVID vaccinations after a steep growth in the number of enquires from confused and often distressed residents.

Nigel said: "With much coverage on the national media a great many, predominantly elderly residents, have been contacting Councillors like myself to express their confusion and in some cases anger over the process locally.
