RUGELEY is set to have a new community fire station now planning permission has been given for the £3 million project.
Rugeley’s new station will be built on the existing site and will include a training area for firefighters, a community room, gym and a memorial garden.
Work is due to start in June.
The station is part of a second private finance initiative (PFI) funded project.
The contractor, Blue3, will be responsible for the design, construction and ongoing maintenance of the new building.
PFI project manager Norma Putman said: “We are delighted that the last planning approval has been awarded and look forward to giving the residents of Rugeley and surrounding areas a community fire station they can be proud of and they can use.”
Stafford’s Rising Brook Community Fire Station was built as part of the first PFI scheme.
