Equality Objectives Consultation
The Service is consulting on four proposed objectives that will help guide the way we provide our services to communities across the county and best support our staff.
The four proposed Equality Objectives outline ways in which we aim to provide a more accessible service, retain talent and promote opportunities across the fire and rescue sector.
From Monday, 8 December 2025, to Monday, 16 February 2026, we are asking residents, businesses and community groups to have their say on the newly proposed objectives.
Council Tax Consultation
Royal Berkshire Fire Authority (RBFA) is consulting Royal Berkshire residents and staff on Council Tax funding for the next financial year.
Due to significant budgetary pressure as outlined in this letter, to protect our services to the public, RBFA is proposing a £5 increase for 2026/2027, based on a Band D precept, to £91.31. Find out more about where your money is spent to ensure value for money across our services.
From Friday, 9 January 2026, to Monday, 2 February 2026, we are asking residents, businesses and community groups to have their say on the proposed increase.
