Merseyside Police’s former HQ up for sale

Transcript

00:00Merseyside Police's former headquarters is on the market. Canning Place served as the

00:06force's landmark station for more than 40 years before they moved to Rose Hill to save

00:10the organisation approximately half a million pounds each year.

00:15The 2.64-acre site's positioned just a stone's throw from the city's famous waterfront, facing

00:20the Albert Dock and next to Liverpool One.

00:23The sale is a key step in the Police and Crime Commissioner's 12-year plan focused on modernising

00:28and updating Merseyside Police's stations and buildings to ensure officers and staff

00:33are in the right places and best equipped to serve communities across the region.

00:38Earlier this year, as part of the two-stage process of putting the site on the market

00:41and in line with the PCC's commitment to social value, a public consultation was held to find

00:46out how the public and local stakeholders would like the land to be developed.

00:50The results of that consultation have been used to shape the production of a planning

00:53and development brief, which is being used to advertise the site and guide potential bidders.
