Oakham Fire and Rescue Station Pre-Planning Consultation Event

A media opportunity for your reporters to see the plans for the redeveloped Fire and Rescue Station at Oakham. The event will take place on Saturday 21 January 2012, between 10am and 12pm, at the Fire Station.

Plans and artists impressions will be available for comment prior to submission for planning permission.

The plans have been developed in conjunction with staff to ensure the Station provides suitable facilities to accommodate the new day crewing plus duty system as well as the existing retained duty system.

The original building, built in 1981, will be sympathetically redeveloped and will be far more energy efficient and suitable for modern day firefighters, with improved training facilities.
