The new building will be the headquarters for the county’s West Division, which covers Lancaster and Morecambe, Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre.

Close to the M55, the building will provide a base for some of the local policing and immediate response teams as well as a public enquiry desk, investigations hub and 42 custody cells. It will also house a range of specialist teams serving the whole of the division.
