The Meadows area of Nottingham could soon see a boost in police response times and visibility if plans for a permanent base go ahead. It comes after Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Commissioner Caroline Henry has made an offer to buy space for response and neighbourhood policing teams to operate from.
Nottinghamshire Police would be stationed at London Road fire station, alongside fire service colleagues. The current tenants, Nottingham City Council’s emergency planning staff, could move out by March 2023.
The plan to sell the lease has been recommended for approval and is set for a decision by the city council’s executive board on Tuesday, November 22. Commissioner Henry, who is responsible for Nottinghamshire Police’s estate, said: “I’m excited about the prospect of securing space at this key strategic site."
