ESSEX POLICE STATION & ESSEX COUNTY : FIRE & RESCUE SERVICE : STATION 42 - Shoeburyness. JAN 2022
Over the years this building has transformed from councilors office, doctors surgery, Fire & Police station.
The building is currently undergoing a refurb.
The work that was delayed to refurbish and modernise Shoeburyness Fire Station (which has bought the Police side of the building) had been delayed, in part due to Covid.
In April 2019 Essex County Fire and Rescue Service bought the former police station next door - which was previously occupied by Shoeburyness Police Force.
The Fire Service bought the derelict other part of the building with a view to using the extra space to improve the station’s facilities.
Plans for the on-call fire station focus on making the most effective use of the additional space and ensuring firefighters have effective meeting, training and maintenance areas.
The Fire Fighters do an excellent job and we are so happy that they have managed to buy the rest of the building.
The work 'was' due to be completed by March 2022..its safe to say will take a little longer to finish ..the expected completion date could be set to be completed a year or so further into the future.
A Station Manager K.T according to a local paper said: Quote :- “To see an on-call fire station like this expanding to ensure it continues to meet the needs of firefighters and the community it serves is really exciting."
The Manager went on to say Quote :- “Of course, our priority is to ensure that the work does not stop us responding to emergencies, and so our main message is that we are still open and, as always, will be there when you need us.”
The Firemen were cool calm and collected and happy to show us around the historic building.
I hope you enjoy the pictures I took
