WORK has begun to upgrade the public facilities at Ely Police Station.
The enquiry office will be made larger and incorporate a private, sound proofed area for the public so they can discuss any issues they may have in confidence.
Facilities to allow disabled people and pushchairs better access to the police station will be upgraded, as well as the installation of bike racks for those who cycle there.
Another interview room will be upgraded with soundproof materials and a third interview room will be created.
Throughout the building works, a temporary building with a level access ramp, will be in place. Despite the presence of scaffolding, the police station will be open and operational as usual.
Force building surveyor David Hobbs said: "These changes will enable the force to provide a much better service to the public who use the police station.
