PLANS have been released for a new ambulance station.

The East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust has submitted a planning application to Epping Forest District Council to replace the current ambulance station and garage at The Plain, Epping.

The new two-storey station would include an ambulance shelter.

Consultation for the planning application is set to end on February 10.

The proposals are due to be discussed by the town council before a decision is taken by the district council's area planning committee.
