19 Feb 2012. Paul Walker, Deputy Chief Fire Officer, recently gave a presentation to the Hayle & St Ives Community Network describing the rationale behind creating a new station at Tolvadden and a satellite fire station in Hayle. The numbers were convincing and included improvements in response times for almost everyone, including Camborne and Redruth which would lose their local stations. The only issue for Hayle is 'where does it go?' The Fire Service is looking at a number of sites, including North Quay, but they favour the Commercial Road car park - partly because it is owned by Cornwall Council and is the worse-performing car park in Cornwall. The sketch below indicates the size of the installation. Some people may be concerned at a further encroachment of views across Copperhouse Pool. Have your say via the review on the web site.
