Norfolk Police have unveiled what the new police station on Earlham Road will look like once completed. Contractors are due to start work on the 9 month project next month.

These are the architectural drawings for the new police deployment base, on the corner of Earlham and Colman Roads.

Decommissioning works will start next week. The building is expected to be operational towards the end of May 2011. It will house around 70 police officers along with an ambulance sub-station.

While building work is underway the 3 Safer Neighbourhood Teams who currently use Earlham Police Station as a base will be re-located to other sites:

• Earlham, Larkman & Marlpit Safer Neighbourhood Team will temporarily be based at Bethel Street Police Station.
• University & Eaton Safer Neighbourhood Team will be based at the old Blackdale Middle School site on Bluebell Road, Norwich.
• West Centre Safer Neighbourhood Team will temporarily be based at Lakenham & Tuckswood Police Station on Hall Road, Norwich.
