Plans For New Area Command Centre In Wirral - 28th Jul 2009 11:39am
Police unveil plans for new area command centre in Wirral
PLANS for a new £30m police area command centre have been lodged with Wirral council.
The formal application is the first step in a 15-year strategy which will see six modern centres built across “command units” in Merseyside.
The building is planned for a cleared area of Birkenhead’s former River Streets, running lengthways along Beaufort Road to Ilchester Road, covering much of the former Severn and Buccleuch Streets.
The public has until August 13 to have a say on the application.
The centre will replace Laird Street and Mortimer Street stations and have its own neighbourhood station.
