The Kintyre Forum

Was just passing the building site today and thought to myself why on earth does Campbeltown need a police station THAT size Bit OTT in my opinion.

Any chance of someone posting a photo

lol, you didn't say whether it's tiny or mahoosive !!!

My understaning was that originally it was gonna be a small branch office kinda thing, then I heard it was gonna be humungus.

Who knows ??? Not me.

If it's the latter, then perhaps someone knows more than I do.

Surely, in this budget conscious day and age, no-one is going to build something with all that capacity if it isn't needed ?

Oh wait, this is Campbeltown .... Call Centre, Ferry terminal etc etc ....

At least we now have some choice as to where to stash the town's Xmas decorations ....

in my opinion many of us miss being able to walk through that way when taking the kids to and from school and coming from tesco no-ones sure if they will still leave the wee path but sure you know they won't so know its double the time home and worse if its pouring

With the volume of well kent faces seeming to be on the increase standing outside the Court House week in week out maybe the police are looking to the future in expectation of the next generation of criminals as well as coping with the ones we have already.

I doubt that any police station large or small in Campbeltown would be short of clients unlike the call centre and the ferry terminal.

Like rtodd31 I hope they leave access between Lady Mary Row and Hazelburn.

"Well kent" - I've not heard that before - I take it that means fine, upstanding individuals

That wee path is what's left of what was known as Parliament Lane

Well known or infamous. Take your pick

Well done. But the off-topic is interesting so if the Mods decided to move it elsewhere . . .

Spllit the topic with a new thread "Poverty causes crime" in Speakers Corner at viewtopic.php?f=21&t=7350

Have also moved this to Local News and Issues as that is what the new police station is.

No harm done with drifting off topic as long as it drifts back or can be split as we have done.

Now back to my pudding.

I just hope that they do something with the current station and it doesn't sit empty.
Oh, and that the wee lane is open in some way - saves me a walk!

Some quick pics taken late on yesterday from Broad Street and entrance at Hazelburn beside the County garage.

Good God! How many Polis are they sending here?

Looks nearly big enough for a new school!

gee whiz... that is a BIG polis station. Surely not that many bad fellas in Campbeltown.

And when did they start that work? seems to have sprung up almost overnight.
