St Neots Fire Station will be extended and refurbished
CIOB chartered company Neville Special Projects has started work to upgrade St Neots Fire Station, Cambridgeshire, to provide a modern and sustainable facility for crews and the community.
The firm is part of Neville Trust, a group of companies which this year celebrates its 150th anniversary.
Making use of technology including heat pumps and solar panels, the station will be the first in Cambridgeshire to be completely carbon neutral. Other energy efficiencies will be included, as well as electrical charging bays.

Cambridgeshire Fire & Rescue Service has also tasked Neville Special Projects with improving the station, extending the front and rear of the building, refurbishing the gym facilities, office and welfare facilities.
Assistant chief fire officer Stuart Smith said: “This is a really welcome renovation to help modernise the station and equip our crews with a much-improved workplace. Including modern technological developments, such as heat pumps and solar panels, allows us to ensure we are making our facilities fit for the future and helping reduce our carbon impact.”

Building work is expected to last until summer 2025.
