'Much needed' new ambulance station in Hull approved
Plans to build a "much needed" ambulance station in Hull have been approved.Hull City Council last month passed Yorkshire Ambulance Service's (YAS) plans to convert a warehouse, on Sissons Way, off Clough Road, into an ambulance station.YAS has now submitted a further application to make changes to the building, including recladding the building and new signage.Documents submitted to the council stated that Hull was "identified as one of YAS's most urgent areas for improvement".
The document added this was "due to the limitations of existing stations and the impact on efficiencies, performance, training and recruitment."Existing stations in Hull are significantly undersized; with some sites lacking sufficient parking for staff."YAS already has ambulance stations in East Hull, West Hull, and Sutton Fields.According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service the northern side of the building will receive wooden cladding and green panelling.
The Eastern, Western, and Southern sides of the building will keep their metallic facades.The site's car park will also have space for 85 YAS vehicles and a further 24 spaces for staff, including three for blue-badge holders.The document added: "The proposed new ambulance hub would provide a strategic opportunity to dramatically reduce refurbishment costs of existing stations and supporting premises and also allow for much needed additional space capacity."Listen to highlights from Hull and East Yorkshire on BBC Sounds, watch the latest episode of Look North or tell us about a story you think we should be covering here.
