Parking is available, just inside Herrieffs Farm Road on the right, at the side of the station.

Rotarian Ian Watson said; “We need old and new hand tools - primarily carpentry and metal work, but also garden tools.

"The tools will be serviced and boxed up by volunteers at the Tools for Self Reliance centre in Northampton. The sets will go to Africa for distribution, helping families produce income to support themselves.”

He added: "If you are unable to bring your contribution to the fire station please email Ian Watson: [email protected] and we will try to make a collection.”
