Due to a previous pause in purchasing new fire appliances, the existing fleet are now superceeding recommended lifespan periods, leading to increased expense for breakdowns, maintenance and repairs and a risk of parts becoming obsolete. Aproval is sough for an additional £1.3m in 25/26 and £1.46m from 26/27 onwards, alongside an initial investment of £2.1m in 2024 to ensure the minimum lifespan of appliances is met.
