Issue details

There has been significant instability and uncertainty within the GMFRS Principal Officer team during the last two years.

Key issues for GMFRS in the short term are, publication of Volume 2 of the Manchester Arena Inquiry, scheduled for November 2022, a full round 3 HMICFRS inspection in 2023 and incorporation of Building Safety Legislative Reforms into local arrangements, all of which inextricably link to public safety. Progress being made from a HMICFRS perspective, must not only be maintained, but built upon further during the year ahead
