Firefighters in Gloucestershire are raising concerns over childcare costs and mental health.

Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service will open a new station and recruit 14 new staff.

Gloucestershire's fire chief apologises and "fully accepts" the service's failings between 1991 and 2018.

Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service is aiming to recruit at least 20 new full-time firefighters.

The fire service attends the hotel just before 04:00 BST this morning.

The scheme will ensure they are physically and mentally fit to undertake their duties.

The service says the new uniforms will save money in the long term and will be more durable.

The fire service had nine out of 11 areas rated "inadequate" or "requiring improvement".
