Company which creates emergency vehicles gets go-ahead for new building in Peterborough

Blue Light Services, based in London, has been given the go-ahead by the city council for the new facility on land adjacent to the Technology Centre in Vicarage Farm Road, Fengate.

It is expected that 10 employees will work at the single-storey building once it is open.

Blue Light Services was formed in 2011, with its website stating that it identified “a gap in the market for high quality emergency and non-emergency vehicles”.

It currently services the NHS, private companies and prison services.

The land earmarked for the new building is currently vacant.

According to a statement submitted to the council from DT Architects, on behalf of Blue Light Services, standard working hours will be between 7.30am and 4pm.

It was added that the Technology Centre is currently owned by Hicks Karate School of Excellence, with an informal arrangement having been agreed over sharing parking spaces.
