Sir – Regarding the report on the cost of creating nine regional fire control centres (August 27).

This is yet another example of a Euro project with costs way out of control. But it doesn’t matter to this Government – they are simply following yet another EU directive in creating nine regions across the country financed by the millions of pounds of taxpayers’ money that we pay out daily into the European coffers.

Mike Foster says this is about providing greater resilience to emergency control rooms.

We all know it’s our puppet government following orders from Brussels, even though as reported in the Worcester News the majority of people were against scrapping Worcester’s centre.
