An ambulance station shut down by the military after the nerve agent attack on Russian double agent Sergei Skripal may never re-open.
Specialist military personnel descended on the site after doctors revealed Mr Skripal and his daughter Yulia had been poisoned with novichok, which Prime Minister Theresa May said had 'almost certainly' been approved by the Russian state.
Amesbury Ambulance Station, in Wiltshire, was shut down as experts in hazmat suits entered the building to decontaminate it and removed emergency vehicles from the site on the back of low-loader lorries.
Now, South Western Ambulance Service (SWAS) has revealed that the emergency work, which was completed in June last year, left it requiring such extensive refurbishment it may never re-open.

Specialist military personnel descended on the site after doctors revealed Mr Skripal and his daughter Yulia had been poisoned with Novichok, leaving them in a catatonic state. Amesbury Ambulance Station, Wilts, was shut down as experts in hazmat suits entered the building to decontaminate it
Former Russian intelligence officer Mr Skripal, 67, and his daughter Yulia, 34, were found slumped in a shopping precinct in Salisbury, Wiltshire, on March 4, last year.
The pair had been poisoned with Novichok, believed to have been placed by at their home and had been to a pub and Zizzi restaurant before falling seriously ill.
After attending the scene, two ambulances returned to the Amesbury base, which was initially closed after the attack in March, which was shut down to protect others from being poisoned by the lethal nerve agent.
However, after clean-up work was completed in June last year, the ambulance station has not re-opened - with the work leaving the building needing 'significant refurbishment'.
A spokesman for SWAS said: 'South Western Ambulance Service is currently reviewing its entire estate.
'This includes the condition and refurbishment requirements of each ambulance station.
'As with Salisbury ambulance station, once the decontamination process was completed, Amesbury ambulance station was still in need of significant refurbishment.
'This refurbishment work must be completed before Amesbury ambulance station can reopen.
'The refurbishment work at Amesbury station will be included in this review..'
Salisbury ambulance station reopened in August last year.
Mr Skripal and his daughter have both now been released from hospital following the attack, an are believed to still be living in the UK as they continue to recover.

In the summer, the cathedral city suffered a second Novichok poisoning which killed mother-of-three Dawn Sturgess, 44, and left her partner Charlie Rowley, 45, with serious injuries.
A counterfeit Nina Ricci perfume bottle - which Ms Sturgess handled - is thought to have contained the substance.
While most of the clean-up work in the city has been completed, Mr Skripal's house, where the nerve agent is believed to have been planted, remains boarded up.
Wiltshire Council has now warned neighbours it plans to dismantle the property, with both the house and garage roof set to be removed.
Evidence gathered by intelligence agencies led the Government to conclude that the men were officers from the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU.
Russian secret service agents Anatoliy Chepiga and Dr Alexander Yevgenyevich Mishkin are believed to have placed the Novichok at Mr Skripal's house.
However, the pair claimed on Russian TV last year they were simply visiting Salisbury to see the cathedral.
