Civil Defence Building
The Civil Defence facility is presently being constructed alongside the new award winning Fire Station. It has taken its lines from the fire station and is downplayed deliberately to be a foil rather than in competition with it. It inherits the metal cladding language of the existing station.
The building is dominated by the high appliance bay with the offices and welfare facilities forming the linear low level section of the building alongside the main public road.
A large storage shed closes off the training yard. The yard is an important for training for both civil defence and fire brigade proper. The site is entered through the existing fire station. The site was a particularly difficult one because of ground conditions.
