A multi-million pound deal is to be completed for the land that will house a brand new “flagship” North Liverpool fire station.
Members of Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority (MFRA) are to sign off on the purchase of land at Long Lane, Aintree, as the service looks to build a new multi pump super station combining existing sites in Croxteth and Aintree. A budget of almost £40m is being set aside by the authority for the entirety of the project and members are expected to greenlight the purchase of land when they meet at the headquarters in Bootle on June 9.
Liverpool Council gave the go-ahead for proposal for a new fire station to be built on land formerly occupied by Commercial Hydraulics on Long Lane earlier this month. The new station is expected to boost response times in both areas in the process.
