ORGANISATIONS are in talks about turning a redundant building in Kirkby Lonsdale into a permanent base for the town's new beat bobby, reports Ellis Butcher.
Coun Alan Day told a meeting of the parish council that discussions are under way about the possibility of part of the Centre 5 building being taken over by PC Ian Rowlinson.
Coun Day said: "It would suit PC Ian Rowlinson so there's every possibility, a strong possibility, that it could happen if things can be agreed between Centre 5 and the police."
Centre 5 was once the town's central police office and still boasts a cell in the basement which, the meeting was told, could be turned into an office for PC Rowlinson.
