In my manifesto in 2016<\/a> I made a promise to put money aside for a business case to be prepared for investing in Gloucestershire Constabulary\u2019s operations base.<\/p>\n

Well we\\’ve not only had the business case, we\\’ve made the decision to invest, planners have now given it the green light\u00a0 and this week the bulldozers have started work to get the site ready.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Force moves out as bulldozers move in\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/i>The Constabulary teams which were based at Bamfurlong since the 1970s have moved out ready for work to begin.<\/span><\/p>\n

\\\"\\\"Demolition of Gloucestershire Constabulary\u2019s operations\u2019 base began this week after our vision for the site was approved by planners.<\/span><\/p>\n

Planning approval has been granted for the site off the Golden Valley by-pass between Gloucester and Cheltenham enabling the re-development to begin in earnest.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bamfurlong has been home to response teams, dogs and firearms officers as well as collision investigators.<\/span><\/p>\n
