Crewe Fire Station has urged football supporters to 'refrain' from parking on a busy exit road for upcoming matches - saying it could delay responses to emergencies.

The fire station on Crewe Road/ Macon Way roundabout, is currently in the process of a rebuild.

Permission to demolish the existing Crewe Fire Station and replace it with a new station was granted by Cheshire East Council in November last year.

Due to this development, Crewe firefighters will now be using the exit off Crewe Road to respond to emergencies - rather than Macon Way.

Yesterday (September 20), Crewe Fire Station urged football fans attending Crewe Alexandra matches not to park on this exit road - commonly used on Saturday afternoons.

The fire station made a statement on social media, saying: "Due to our ongoing station rebuild, from Wednesday 19 October we will be responding to incidents and emergencies using the exit on Crewe Road.

Crewe Fire Station said the new exit road can get particularly busy with parked cars especially during home games for Crewe Alexandra Football Club (Peter Robinson).

"We would urge supporters to refrain from parking on this road as this could potentially delay our response to an emergency.

"Double yellow lines will be added to the road soon."

Crewe's current fire station, opened in 1966, no longer fits the needs of the service.

The new station will include a training tower and a training building - together with car parking.
