    Except in the case of Bridlington, where it was possible to purchase some very suitable huildiugs, accommodation for the various ambulance stations has been a constant source of worry. This position should, however, soon be much improved. An ambulance station is in the course of con- struction at Withernsea and work will soon commence on the new stations at Dritheld and Hessle. A site for a new station at Howden has been ap]U’oved, and it is hoped that in the near future suitable sites will be found for stations in Hornsea and Pocklington. At the end of 1952, the arrangements for the service throughout the Couutv were as follows: — r_» t Number of vehicles. Number of staff. Service provided by. Station.
