Priority One
Improve the working experience on our fire stations
Why do we need to do this?
Fire stations contain dangerous equipment and vehicles can move quickly off the site when responding to 999 calls. They also contain assets which are important in the event of a major national incident, like flooding or a terrorist attack.
We need to make sure our buildings are fit for purpose. Many were built in the 1960s and 70s, and in places are showing their age. Whilst we cannot replace them all, we do want to spend some money improving them. This will help make the experience of going to work as good as it can be. It will provide a more welcoming environment if a member of the public needs a safe haven, have good fitness facilities for everyone that works for us and the buildings will be safe and secure. We will also encourage all teams to use fire stations for project and team meetings.
