Chief Constable Sir David Thompson has announced a review into the West Midlands Police estates strategy which has seen dozens of stations and bases shut down or threatened to be sold off in recent years.

Andrew Mitchell said:

“I very much welcome the review which is a good opportunity to think again about the muddled and ill thought through proposal to close the Royal Town’s police station which I along with our Conservative councillors have vigorously opposed. From the correspondence I have received from constituents and conversations with local people, it is clear that Suttonians want to see a full Police presence using the space in our existing facilities.”
