Cambridgeshire’s most sustainable fire station has opened its doors after undergoing extensive renovation work.
St Neots Fire Station was officially reopened following the completion of the works, which have been carried out by Neville Special Projects with Ingleton Wood managing the project.
“I am delighted to see the improvements made to the station. It is important that we ensure our firefighters have the best possible facilities, and the improvements made here certainly reflect that.
“It is also crucial that we are future-proofing our stations from a sustainability perspective and reducing the impact we have on the environment. The upgrades made here demonstrate we are making strides on our journey to being as energy efficient as possible.”
Councillor Chris Morris, Chair of the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Fire Authority.
An extension to the front of the station accommodates new offices and welfare facilities, with other improvements made to meeting rooms as well as a purpose-built gym.
The station is the first in the county to be completely carbon neutral. At the heart of the station is the use of modern, sustainable technology, such as heat pumps and solar panels as well as electrical charging bays.
“We are really excited by this renovation and the facilities it brings to our firefighters, improving the provision for the future for St Neots and the wider county. It helps us ensure we are keeping up with the growth and development we continue to see across our county in a sustainable way.
“We are grateful for the positive collaboration with Neville Special Projects and Ingleton Wood, which allowed the crews to remain at the station to be able to respond to emergencies during the renovation.”
Stuart Smith, Assistant Chief Fire Officer.
The renovation project cost around £2m, with £700,000 coming from a grant from Huntingdonshire District Council’s Community Infrastructure Levy.
