Predominantly offices, the building will include such amenities as a kitchen, gym, conference and meeting rooms to be shared by the services. Additional fire service facilities will include an accommodation unit, a drill tower and an appliance bay for three service vehicles.
West Mercia PCC John Campion, said: "I have heard loud and clear from communities that they want their police force to be visible and accessible. This new fit-for-purpose building will see officers at the heart of the community serving the public."
