Work starts on £5.1m transformation of Stalybridge Police Station site
Councillor Dave Sweeton and Councillor John Taylor from Tameside Council joined Great Places to mark the official start of work on the former Stalybridge Police Station site. This £5.1million redevelopment will shape a newbuild specialist supported living scheme.
Stalybridge Police Station was built in 1968 and used by the Cheshire Constabulary, and Greater Manchester Police and remained in use for 37 years until 2005. Now the building will be demolished to make way for 24 newbuild homes and on-site care commissioned by the Tameside Adult Social Care Team. The plans will provide muchneeded homes for adults needing support with their independence and wellbeing.
Commenting on the start of the works, Peter Lynas, Development Programme Manager at Great Places, said: “This project will transform the currently derelict site into much-needed specialist homes in the local area, where residents can remain close to friends and family in accommodation which meets their support needs.”
