Chief Fire Officer/Chief Executive, Peter Dartford comments
“This is the first newly built fire station in North Staffordshire since Ipstones was built back in 1996. The station will really set the standard for the future of fire stations both in Staffordshire and across the UK.”
Chairman of the Integrated Asset Programme Board of the Fire and Rescue Authority, Cllr Rex Robert OBE said:
“It’s taken years of hard work to get to this stage, so to now see actual construction work in progress it’s very rewarding. It’s a very exciting time for both the Service and the communities who will benefit from these new facilities.”
