Yeovil police enquiry desk to close ahead of station refurb

Paul JonesJanuary 12, 20260 Comment0

YEOVIL’S temporary police station desk ay Horsey Lane will close later this month as it is relocated.

The enquiry desk will shut on Monday, January 26, while it is moved to a new site, on Brympton Way.

The move is expected to take around six weeks while the building is dismantled, relocated and prepared for public use.

During the temporary closure, members of the public can visit enquiry offices in Chard, Wincanton or Bridgwater, call 101, or contact their local Neighbourhood Policing team via www.avonandsomerset.police.uk/your-area.

The number of police officers and PCSOs on duty in the area will not be affected by the closure.

It comes ahead of a multi-million pound refurbishment of Yeovil Police Station at Horsey Lane, which is set to begin next month.

TCi (GB) Ltd has been appointed as the contractor for the work, which will result in a revamped, modern police station for the town, due to be completed in early 2027.

Neighbourhood Inspector Rose Green said: “Relocating our current temporary enquiry office is an important step in allowing the major refurbishment of Yeovil Police Station to begin.

“This exciting investment will ultimately provide our officers and staff with a modern working environment, with better facilities for our teams to enable them to provide outstanding policing for the communities we serve.

“While the relocation is taking place, we will continue to have a strong presence in the town and residents can still reach us by phone, online or at our nearby enquiry offices.”

Officers moved out of the Horsey Lane station in 2019 and relocated to Somerset Council’s Brympton Way offices.

Since then, a temporary police enquiry office has remained open at Horsey Lane for members of the public to attend and speak to us face-to-face.

However, an outline business case for investment was approved in 2024 with a final business case approved in August last year, following a procurement process to secure a contractor.
