More than £1m is to be spent on a series of upgrades at two Liverpool fire stations.
In a bid to bring Old Swan and Speke and Garston community fire stations up to modern demand, Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority (MFRA) is to seek the approval of its community safety and protection committee to spend almost £1.4m on the work. Both stations were built in 1999 and are single storey buildings.
A report released ahead of the MFRA committee meeting on Thursday said both sites have received regular maintenance and improvements since their construction 24 years ago and are in “fair condition.” However, it is claimed the facilities need improving to “meet the demands of a modern day fire service.”
