Sir - I was pleased to read in the article by Tom Edwards (Worcester News 24th January),that Worcester’s fire station in Copenhagen Street is likely to be sold to a London developer in the region of £1,000,000,and though not listed, the building being in a conservation area should be subject to suitable planning restrictions.

I understood that the present site was always considered too small, so I am surprised that though the old station covers 26,920 square feet the new one will only be 20,000.
