New £5m Police Station planned for Braehead

Strathclyde Police is planning to build a new police station to serve the fast-growing communities of Renfrew, Braehead, Erskine, Inchinnan, Bishopton, and Glasgow Airport. The new station will be sited on Station Road, within the award-winning Braehead and Renfrew Riverside mixed-used developments.

The new building will enable the delivery of a highly efficient, customer-focused policing service. It will feature the latest IT systems, and will integrate high energy efficiency and sustainable construction and maintenance throughout.

The design and construction timetable is yet to be finalised.

Chief Inspector Kevin Quinn, Deputy Sub Divisional Officer, Renfrew Police Office, said: “The replacement office will complement the regeneration of the local area, which will see Renfrew’s population expand significantly, in particular the area around Renfrew Riverside.”

Peter Beagley, General Manager of Braehead Shopping Centre added: “The new Police Station will be a major asset to Braehead’s expanding business community.”
