Plaistow Fire Station on the A112 Prince Regent Lane is one of nine old fire stations across London that were originally planned to be revamped in 2009 as part of a £57.4 million Private Finance Initiative. However the plans were put on hold when the Coalition Government came to power in 2010. The Department for Communities and Local Government has now announced the money will be made available and work is expected to start in late 2012. Plaistow’s fire engine resources will be temporarily transferred during the construction works to Stratford and East Ham Fire Stations.
