“I would like to thank the people of Nottinghamshire for their help in ensuring that incidents have been kept to a minimum, and for helping Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service to succeed in creating safer communities.
“However, the current situation is not ideal, and I sincerely hope that the parties involved in this dispute can resume the necessary negotiations to bring it to an end as quickly and effectively as possible.”
