Just read an article in the Darlington and Stockton times condemning Fire Chiefs in North Yorkshire for replacing senior officer's Skoda Octavias with Range Rover Evoques.
NY F&R spokesman Peter Hudson said;
"As a means of improving the overall severe weather response capability, the standard light vehicle fleet of cars and vans is to be amalgamated with the Land Rover fleet and will move to a combined fleet of more suitably equipped vehicles providing a more flexible, practical and cost-effective approach."
Union reps have branded the decision to lease a fleet of "Luxury" 4x4 vehicles as "self indulgent".
If they want a 'severe weather' capable vehicle, I don't think a plush carpeted Evoque would have been my first choice..... let alone the cost of an Evoque against a Defender.... or any of the Asian models!
What's your thoughts??
