The steel frame for the main body of the building is now in place in Clifton Road.

Chief Superintendent Stuart Noble, Divisional Commander for Lancashire Constabulary’s West Division is excited by progress on the building, due to open next year.

He said: “The creation of this state-of-the-art building is a milestone moment for policing in Blackpool – one which we feel will ultimately help us to provide a better quality of service to the public.

“It is exciting to see that work is progressing on the new building, with the steel framework going up. Once complete, it will see a massive improvement to our working environment, providing vital support to officers and staff who deliver frontline services to keep the area safe.”

The police will retain a town centre base and a new public enquiry desk will be created at the council’s Municipal Buildings once Bonny Street Police Station closes.

The investment in the new headquarters is the biggest in the force’s history.
