Police show off plans for Patchway and Filton

Residents and businesses in Patchway and the surrounding areas are being invited to a public meeting to find out about detailed plans for a new police custody, crime investigation centre and police station.

Located at 90 Gloucester Road on the former Bensons site, the facility will contain a 48 cell centralised custody and crime investigation centre and a police station as well. This will replace the existing Filton police station at Elm Park.

Members of the public can view the plans and ask questions on Wednesday 16th November between 4pm ann 7pm as well as Saturday the 19th of November between 10am and 2pm.

Chief Inspector Mark Evans said, "90 Gloucester Road will house one of the three centralised custody centres across the force area, which will help us to process offenders more efficiently and return our officers faster to the communities where they are needed. it will also provide much improved facilities for our witnesses and victims. These plans will not effect local policing; we are committed to maintaining our neighbourhood teams who will continue to patrol in the areas they do now."
