SUFFOLK FIRE SERVICE

To: Sub O. Wigglesworth 055

From: T/ADO Saward
Brigade Training Centre
Cc Chief Fire Officer

Date 14- SEPTEMBER 1998

Application for leave

I refer to your memorandum dated 14th September, 1998, in which you make application for eight days leave, with effect from Tuesday, 15th September, 1998.

I must reiterate that your request for reduction in rank to that of Firefighter and subsequent transfer to operational duties has not yet been considered by the Chief Fire Officer.

To grant this leave at short notice would create a staffing problem as you are programmed to instruct on a Breathing Apparatus Refresher course at Bury St Edmund’s on 15th and 16th and to the RSPCA on 17th and 18th. Your application is, therefore, refused.

I am, however, able to grant you leave during the following two weeks, if you so wish, but this should not be seen in any way as being connected with your previous request for transfer.

If you wish to have leave during this period, please make a further application in the normal manner.


G.E. Sawood
T/Assistant Divisional Officer
