Merseyside Police’s Bromborough Police Station in the Liverpool City Region's Borough of Wirral, goes up for sale as part of Merseyside Police's Estate Strategy.

Built in the 1930’s, this station has served the force for more than 90 years and comprises the main police station, as well as two traditional detached houses which were used as offices.

The 2.09-acre site is positioned in a prominent location close to Bromborough town centre with direct links across Wirral, including the Birkenhead tunnel and M53 motorway.

The sale is part of the Police and Crime Commissioner’s 12-year Estate Strategy focused on modernising and updating Merseyside Police’s stations and buildings to ensure officers and staff are in the right places and best equipped to serve communities across the region.

The strategy focusses on putting more money into frontline policing by selling old, out-dated and inefficient buildings and replacing them with more cost-effective, flexible and fit-for-purpose facilities.

A key part of the plan is to open a brand-new visible and accessible police hub in the Wirral. Due to be completed within the next five years, the new development is set to reduce the force’s annual running costs and selling Bromborough police station will help generate the money to deliver this state-of-the art new police base.

“We’re taking the right steps to ensure the buildings we occupy right across Merseyside are in the best possible position to serve our communities." - Emily Spurrell, Merseyside’s Police and Crime Commissioner.

Merseyside’s Police and Crime Commissioner, Emily Spurrell said: “By selling this site, which is no longer fit for purpose, we will generate money which will be used to continue to transform the police estate, making sure our stations are fit to serve our officers and staff, so they are fit to fight crime now and into the future."

The Commissioner added: “We’re taking the right steps to ensure the buildings we occupy right across Merseyside are in the best possible position to serve our communities."

Commissioner Spurrell, said: “While Bromborough Police Station is no longer fit to serve the force, it is a prime residential site and has real potential to be a valuable development for local people.”
