ESSEX FBU members are set to take eight days of consecutive strike action between 7am on March 10 to 7am on March 17 as part of the ongoing local dispute.

Essex will once again have strong contingency arrangements in place to protect the County and members of the public will not be affected by this action.

This strike action will not impact on fire appliances turning up at incidents as the men and women in Control are those that take 999 calls.
