NORTH Wales Police want to relocate the station in Llanrwst – and have reassured the public the number of staff based there won't be reduced.

Police officers will move from the current station on Heol Yr Orsaf/Station Road to the nearby Glasdir building, which is on the same road.

Police and crime commissioner Andrew Dunbobbin has submitted a planning application to Conwy County Council for a change of use of first floor rooms at the Glasdir building from offices to a police station.

The new police station would accommodate eight members of police staff and include spaces for five police vehicles.

If the plans get the go-ahead, North Wales Police will lease the building from Conwy County Council.

The application suggests the new location will have an outside phone which will link back to the force control room.

“Glasdir’s front entrance area will receive North Wales Police lantern and external telephone communication system linked back to the control room,” the application reads.

“North Wales Police will enter into a lease with Conwy County Council, and this proposal will allow North Wales Police to remain visible within the Llanrwst community, and it will not impact the number of police officers and police community support officers based at the station.”

The new station will include an interview room, which will also be used as a workspace for staff.

The offices will also be converted to feature a locker room, showers, wellbeing room, toilet, and canteen.

The application is subject to a decision by Conwy’s planning committee and will be debated at a future planning committee meeting in which councillors will vote before a decision.
