Blue Light Hub

West Ashland Fire Station, the newest in the Service, forms part of the Blue-Light Hub in Milton Keynes. It opened on Tuesday 30th June 2020 replacing Bletchley Fire Station and Great Holm Fire Station, bringing together all the crews, staff and fire appliances under one roof.

The Blue-Light Hub is also home to teams from Thames Valley Police and South Central Ambulance Service, which create opportunities for collaborative working with their emergency service partners.

The fire station provides full-time cover across a vast area of Milton Keynes and the surrounding areas. In addition to responding to incidents, the crews proactively seek to protect the community through prevention activities in the area.

Bowling

Bowling is a target sport and recreational activity in which a player rolls a ball toward pins (in pin bowling) or another target (in target bowling). The term bowling usually refers to pin bowling (most commonly ten-pin bowling), though in the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries, bowling could also refer to target bowling, such as lawn bowls.

In pin bowling, the goal is to knock over pins on a long playing surface known as a lane. Lanes have a wood or synthetic surface onto which protective lubricating oil is applied in different specified oil patterns that affect ball motion. A strike is achieved when all the pins are knocked down on the first roll, and a spare is achieved if all the pins are knocked over on a second roll. Common types of pin bowling include ten-pin, candlepin, duckpin, nine-pin, and five-pin . The historical game skittles is the forerunner of modern pin bowling.
