Site for Fire Station
The North Eastern Fire Area Joint
Board have intimated to the Council their desire to acquire a commodious site in
Lossiemouth for the erection of a new fire station, and their interest in a site
in McDuff Street.
The site, the Council heard on Monday, was one in which they themselves were
already interested for housing purposes.
A joint meeting for discussion of the matter has been fixed.
