“Following ongoing discussions between the PCC and the Fire and Rescue service it has been agreed that Police Officers and PCSOs will remain in Newton Aycliffe Fire Station.
The duration is open ended although the PCC is committed to buying a separate building to ensure community policing continues.
Police and Crime Commissioner, Joy Allen, said “I am grateful to the Fire and Rescue Authority for their support enabling the police to remain in the fire station beyond the period of the agreed lease which demonstrates the strength of collaborative working.”
