£75m redevelopment plan for'end of life' Lancashire Police headquarters in Hutton - saving it from becoming a housing estate
Police and Crime Commissioner Andrew Snowden – who was elected in May 2021 – said overhauling the site has been “on the cards since day one”, as he looks to make the site fit for 21st century policing.
- Landscaping and ecological work on the Saunders Lane site to improve the aesthetics and biodiversity of the siteMr Snowden is keen that the site is seen not just as a HQ, but as the force’s central operating base, offering public order training, fleet maintenance, cyber and crime teams, contact management and other enabling services.He said:"The transformation of Lancashire Constabulary's HQ site would be a landmark moment for policing and crime prevention here in Lancashire.
He added:"We need to have the crime teams on one floor, we need the electrical infrastructure there ready for fleet maintenance, and have the vehicle management, enabling, stores, kits all in one place so that cops aren’t having to wander around the site to get what they need.”A consultation was held with local residents and key stakeholders on Wednesday evening at Hutton Village Hall.
