The transformation of Budleigh Salterton’s former fire station into a community workshop is ‘progressing well’.

Budleigh Community Workshop Trust have been continuing to work on renovating the building which they purchased from Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service following fundraising from the town.

Bill McDermott, chairman of BCWT, said: “The development of the old Fire Station in Budleigh Salterton into a Community Workshop is progressing very well with volunteers doing their bit as part of the refurbishment programme.

“We have installed a wide staircase and plastered throughout with the upstairs meeting room coming along well and work on the main workshop area about to start.

“The community continues to be generous in their support and Dulux, a well-known supplier of decorating material, have stepped in and donated the paint required to finish off the project.

“We are so grateful to them for their support.”
