DN4/YNYCA/DM/2025

Date 09/07/2025

Executive Summary:

All fire and rescue services are required to produce a Community Risk Management Plan (CRMP). For North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service (NYFRS), this plan identifies the risks across York and North Yorkshire and outlines how they will use their people and resources (vehicles and equipment) to address them.

The current CRMP, known as the Risk and Resource Model 2022–2025, expires at the end of this calendar year. As part of the statutory process, the public must be consulted on a new, draft CRMP before implementation.

NYFRS provided an update on the development of a new CRMP 2025-2029 to the Strategic Oversight Board on 24 June 2025. Approval was sought to move to public consultation on the CRMP proposals, on the basis of the following documents:

· The proposed consultation document, including areas of focus for the CRMP

· The proposed survey questions

Following discussion and subject to a number of minor amendments, the Deputy Mayor approved the recommendation to progress to public consultation.

Decision:

To commence a joint public consultation of the Mayor and the Chief Fire Officer on the Service’s draft Community Risk Management Plan 2025-2029. The consultation will take place over an eight-week period from 7 July to 7 September 2025.
