Former police station abandoned for years could get new lease of life as plans go in

Plans have been submitted to transform a former Knowsley police station which has lain empty for years.

The late 19th-century police station at Derby Street in Prescot was bought by housing association Pierhead Housing, trading as Prima Group, in 2019 after being unused since Merseyside Police left the site in 2011.

Now plans have been submitted to transform the police station into eight flats. Three-bedroom townhouses could also be created in the car park area behind, with plans including the demolition of several outbuildings at the site.
