It's now set to be put up for sale
An empty garage workshop bought for £3.3m by Northamptonshire’s police, fire and crime commissioner more than two years ago will be put up for sale within weeks. Stephen Mold’s office bought the unit in February 2021 hoping to use it for the county’s police and fire services’ vehicles but beyond scoping works, it has never been used for anything.
Joint working for both police and fire services is still the office’s aim because of the “real business benefits, not least to the taxpayer, but we need to ensure our plans still make sense in the changing economic climate,” they added. Mr Mold's office is working with North Northamptonshire Council to sell Kettering's police station and surrounding buildings, including the town’s unused magistrates’ court. The OPFCC still owns the former police station and adjoining social club but sold some other neighbouring buildings to the former Kettering Borough Council, which was dissolved in 2021 and its assets taken on by NNC.
