Summary

The Air Ambulance Service is planning a new base in Leicestershire, costing around £14 million. The purpose-built headquarters at Catthorpe will house two helipads, crew facilities, and training areas. The move aims to improve response times and serve a wider area. The charity made nearly 3,800 callouts last year and plans to have two rapid response cars for nighttime incidents. The new base could be operational by 2027, subject to council approval.
