Premises

The aim of our Service Estate Plan (SEP) is to provide buildings and an estate that are fit for purpose, support inclusive and positive working environments, encourage best practice and innovation and help support the right organisational culture.

It is vital that premises remain safe and secure, minimising the risk as far as possible of theft and destruction of property, and injury to staff or visitors.

The plan sets out the strategic objectives, priorities and actions required that will achieve this. Achieving these will enable us to deliver the best services and be an outstanding fire and rescue service for our communities, workforce, and visitors. Due to the complexities of property and estate assets, a long-term plan ensures the following is achieved:

• A clear understanding of the estate assets required to deliver CRMP priorities.
• Identifying the most effective and efficient locations for our estate assets.
• Prioritising works required to deliver CRMP priorities.
• Ensuring sufficient resources to achieve our objectives.
• Identifying new and current pressures within the Service, such as decontamination relating to property.
• Obtaining value for money.
