Police have confirmed the latest update on the construction of a £45 million police station. Last year, Cambridgeshire Police said the opening of its new £45 million police station, which is being built next to Milton Park and Ride, would be delayed.
The station was initially supposed to open in November 2025. This was then delayed to spring 2026. A spokesperson for Cambridgeshire Police has confirmed that it is now “nearing completion”.
Planning permission for the new station was approved by South Cambridgeshire District Council in March 2021. The new station will replace the force’s current Parkside Police Station.
Construction of the building began in January 2024. Plans for the new station include doubling the number of cells, enhancing facilities to face complex crimes such as fraud and online investigations, and better road access for more efficient responses.
A spokesperson for Cambridgeshire Police previously said: “The construction work will still be largely complete by the end of the year [2025] but fitting out, installing systems like ICT will take us to the spring.”
