A key step forward could soon be taken to ensure a permanent police presence in a Nottingham suburb. Nottingham City Council will be discussing plans for a permanent neighbourhood police station to be created in the Meadows area, which will be located at the London Road fire station site.
Next Tuesday (November 22), the executive board will be discussing the effective partnership between Nottinghamshire Police and Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue, and the plans for an additional police presence in the Meadows area. It has been recommended that the council approves the occupational lease in accommodation at the fire station, which is currently housing the council's emergency planning function.
This accommodation would be leased to the Police and Crime Commissioner, who would then approve a lease back of the storage space at the site to the council, and the emergency planning function would return to Loxley House. This would allow for police to be situated at the fire station, and this increased presence would support the council's corporate priorities in relation to community safety.
