A ‘topping out’ ceremony to mark a major milestone towards the completion of Merseyside Police’s new Headquarters.
Merseyside’s Police Commissioner Jane Kennedy and Chief Constable Andy Cooke QPM will sign the last piece of steel which will be installed at the £48m centre at the traditional ceremony, which marks the end of the main construction phase of the project.
Once the steel framework is complete, work can begin on kitting out the bespoke four-storey Headquarters, which will act as Merseyside Police’s flagship base on a key gateway into the city centre, overlooking Scotland Road and the entrance to the Queensway tunnel, while helping to regenerate the Everton area.
The state-of-the-art 12,800m2 centre will bring more than 1,100 officers and staff under one roof once it opens its doors in September 2021, freeing up a number of leased buildings and helping the force to save approximately £250,000 a year on its running costs.
Construction at the site began in September 2019 after the Commissioner and Chief Constable ceremonially turned the first sod at the brownfield site, which is adjacent to the force’s existing station on St Anne Street.
Work on the site has continued apace despite the global Coronavirus pandemic, with social distancing practices being implemented by construction firm Willmott Dixon, in order for today’s major milestone to be reached on time and on budget.
