Two new fire stations are to be built as part of a £38m investment by Greater Manchester's brigade. They would be constructed on the existing sites of the Whitefield and Blackley stations.
The proposals will soon be submitted to local councils. The new stations will offer improved facilities for firefighters, and feature new sustainable heating and lighting systems, helping Greater Manchester to decarbonise public buildings. They will also host dual-purpose community rooms and operational training rooms.
The stations will offer the same level of service to the local community as the current fire stations, with the amount of fire engines and response times to emergencies staying the same.
