Aberdeen pupils experience life in the emergency services

Young artists who put their creative stamp on a north-east construction site have been rewarded for their efforts.

Pupils at Mile End Primary School were asked to produce a collection of posters for the new ambulance station on Ashgrove Road West, and in return they were given an insight into the work of the emergency service crews.

Marlene Grayson, the teacher who led the project, said it was a great opportunity for the children.

She added: “We are very proud of the work they have produced and it has been valuable for the pupils to find out more about the ambulance service, it was a fascinating trip for all of us.”

The new ambulance centre, which is being built by Chap construction, will replace the original city station which was created in 1959 to accommodate 40 staff.

When finished, the new base will hold up to 102 workers and a fleet of accident and emergency ambulances and patient transfer vehicles.

Ewan Murray, area service manager for the Scottish Ambulance Service, said the renovated site would improve the working environment for all concerned.

He added: “The new facilities will be of the highest standard and more than meet all of today’s important infection control standards.”

Mark Anderson, the site manager, thanked the youngsters for taking part.

He added: “The children were all so enthusiastic about the art project and put a lot of work into their posters.

“It certainly livened up the site and the artwork has been getting a lot of attention.”
