New ambulance station and hub planned for ‘under-utilised’ park and ride
A new ambulance station and hub could be built on an ‘under-utilised’ park and ride site on the outskirts of Stockport. The proposals would see the new facility - for the use of North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) - built on the park and ride site at Hazel Grove, around three miles from the town centre.Planning papers say the existing park and ride service - operated by bus firm Stagecoach - will not be relocated as it is not well used or commercially viable. The project is split into two stages. ‘Phase one’ is covered by a full application seeking permission for the creation of an ambulance station on the eastern portion of the site, along with visitor and staff parking.A second 'outline’ application sets out the potential future expansion of the station into a 'modern’ ambulance hub. This would extend the station and bring the remainder of the site into use as additional parking. The station would relocate to the Macclesfield Road site from Travis Brow, where facilities are ‘dated and inadequate’ according to planning documents.READ MORE: READ MORE: Join the FREE Manchester Evening News WhatsApp community
