New Proposals To Replace Outdated Parkside Police Station

Throughout February Cambridgeshire Constabulary are consulting the public on proposals to enhance our service for the south of Cambridgeshire.

As you will know, the nature of policing and crime in Cambridgeshire is changing.  Our population is growing, and many of you will be aware that our current police facilities at Parkside in Cambridge city centre do not provide our officers and staff with the tools they need to fully respond to today’s demands.

New facilities are needed to improve our response and service to the public - without them, tackling crime will become more difficult.  We are therefore consulting on the principle of proposals to replace the outdated facilities at Parkside with both a new city centre police station and a police hub on the outskirts of Cambridge to meet the area’s growth and to respond to the challenges of modern-day policing.

It is important we secure as much feedback from the public and wider stakeholders as possible.  For your information and should you receive any enquiries, I have outlined below the ways in which people can get involved in the consultation:

Website: We have launched a consultation website which includes a video, FAQs and more information about why we’re making this proposal.  An electronic version of the questionnaire is also available for comments to be submitted.

Public drop-in events: We have two remaining public drop-in events to let people know what we are proposing and to ask questions.  We have chosen public places in order to be able to catch passing members of the public who might not otherwise choose to engage with the consultation process.  We will be handing out flyers, taking feedback, and providing hard copies of the questionnaire at the events.

Dates, times and locations of the drop-ins are as follows:
