Providence Volunteer Fire Department
The main public safety issue for the Town of Weddington is the future of the Providence Volunteer Fire Department. I do not support the proposed merger of the Providence Volunteer Fire Department and the Wesley Chapel Volunteer Fire Department. I support the change from a fire fee to a fire tax for the Providence fire district. I support changing the fire district map to minimize response times. I support 24/7 coverage.

It’s good to see a leader recognize the value in the Providence fire department and have a plan to resolve the issues rather than simply wanting to pass the problem along. Before the town puts money into landscaping or cosmetic improvements, it must make sure that the residents have protection when/where needed. Public safety must be a priority. Walker, you have a focused vision to work through the political gaming and get Providence VFD back on track to a healthy fiscal position while preserving the high quality of service, AND correcting response areas based on public safety. I applaud your support on this issue. Thank you.
