VETERAN campaigner Terry Hutt worked endlessly to raise attention about proposed changes to cover at Royston Fire Station.
He collected more than 6,000 signatures for a petition which called on Hertfordshire County Council not to change the current set up in Royston.
Mr Hutt, 70, said there was public concern that full-time firefighters would be replaced by retained firefighters.
