An official report says the cost of rebuilding fire training facilities was "prohibitive". Cheshire's Deputy Chief Fire Officer Mark Cashin said the decision was made "following an in-depth review". A programme to share administrative staff between the two services will still go ahead. Staff in the fire service's HR, ICT, finance, payroll and procurement departments will still move to the police headquarters, and become employees of Cheshire Constabulary. But workers in other fire service departments will now remain at the fire HQ on Sadler Road. A report to the county's fire authority said the benefits of moving training facilities to the police HQ were "significantly outweighed by cost and a number of risks", including a lack of space, noise affecting neighbours and trees that would be difficult to remove. Officials favour refurbishing the existing fire training facilities, claiming it could cost Â£1.3m less than moving.

Summary: Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service has shelved plans to sell off its base in Winsford and move into the county's police headquarters.


It's thought to have been the length of three London buses, half the width of a football pitch and as heavy as a space shuttle! Fossilised bones of six of the young adult dinosaurs were found in a Patagonian quarry, in Argentina, in 2013. Could there be even bigger, adult bones left to discover? Scientists think that after the young adult dinosaurs died, their bones were preserved in mud. Known as the Patagotitan mayorum, they're part of the Titanosaur species of dinosaur that lived 100 million years ago. They were huge plant-eaters that stood on four legs. One of the authors of the study, Diego Pol, said: "I don't think they were scary at all. They were probably massive slow-moving animals."

Summary: A study of dinosaur bones suggests that the Patagotitan mayorum was the largest creature to ever live on Earth.
