Meeting of the Scottish Police Authority - 23 March 2023
Date : 23 March 2023
Location : COSLA, Edinburgh
Ayr Police Station - New Premises
Ayr Police Station in King Street, Ayr was an iconic building that had been at the heart of delivering policing services in Ayrshire for almost 50 years. The building was no longer fit for purpose for modern policing and through our excellent working relationship with South Ayrshire Council, we identified Newton House as a location that would enable policing services to continue to be delivered in Ayr.
Re-locating to facilities like Newton House has been part of Police Scotland's long term Estates Strategy and not only facilitates greater partnership working but also helps reduce the costs of maintaining unsuitable public sector buildings.
The move to Newton House will mean a real improvement to the working environment for officers and staff, and will ensure continuation of the high standard of service delivery in Ayr and the surrounding towns and villages.
