Work has indeed started with a completion date of late 2015. Late 2015 - that must be some build for it to take over a year.And funnily enough, Stanks Fire Station remains as busy as it's ever been in the 14 years I've lived near it.I can't help but wonder how the brigade will cope with another incident like the recent fire at Ferrybridge Power Station (15 appliances + 2 aerial platforms / 75 fire fighters - all from West Yorkshire according to reports, including Halifax!) when they've got rid of all those 'unnecessary' fire stations and appliances...?
