HAMPSHIRE’S Police and Crime Commissioner has backed plans for the relocation of Fordingbridge’s police station.
Following a public meeting on the move, which would see the police station go to the Old School House in nearby Provost Road, Simon Hayes approved plans for the Fordingbridge SNT relocation.
He said: “Selling for redevelopment old and expensive to maintain buildings, like Fordingbridge Police Station, helps free up funding to assist with the delivery of the priorities set out in the Police and Crime Plan of improving frontline policing to deter criminals and keep communities safe, reducing re-offending, placing victims at the heart of policing and working with partners to achieve this.”
