Pendle: Exciting news for the folks in Pendle! A brand new police station is coming to Carr Road in Nelson. They just had a cool steel signing ceremony to celebrate the metal framework being finished.
This station is set to open in spring 2026, and it’s been a long time coming. Groundwork kicked off back in March 2024, so it’s great to see things moving along.
Some important people were there, like Lancashire’s Police and Crime Commissioner Clive Grunshaw and Chief Constable Sacha Hatchett. They all signed the steel beams, which is a neat way to mark the progress.
The new station will be a hub for response and neighborhood policing teams, plus investigations. It’ll also have a front counter, so locals can still get the help they need.
Mr. Grunshaw expressed his excitement, saying this investment is crucial for improving policing in the area. He believes the new station will help deliver the effective service that the community deserves.
Ms. Hatchett also shared her delight about the project, emphasizing that it will provide officers with the right facilities to do their jobs well. It’s all part of a bigger plan to enhance policing in Lancashire.
