Councillor Karen Grinsell, Leader of Solihull Council, has shared the following statement:
“You will have seen in the news recently about Solihull Police Station relocating from its current site on Homer Road.
“Ensuring our residents continue to be able to reach their local police officers in person is a priority for all of us.
“I am therefore pleased to announce that we have been able to work with West Midlands Police and the Police & Crime Commissioner to secure a new premises in the heart of the town centre.
“The proposal is that Solihull Police Station will move to The Priory on Church Hill Road (part of the Council House site). This is, however, subject to agreement at Cabinet on 23 July where a report will be presented asking for the Council to dispose of the lease to West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner.
“We look forward to working together to make this happen over the coming months.”
