Criminal Justice Centre
topped out on time and on
budget
04/01/2012
Kier Construction's
completion of the first
stage of building works on
the new Criminal Justice
Centre (CJC) in Northampton
was officially acknowledged
on 4 January with a topping
out ceremony.
Chief Constable Adrian Lee
and chair of
Northamptonshire Police
Authority Deirdre Newham
marked the occasion by
tightening one of the final
bolts on the steel
structure at the site on
Northampton Business Park,
Brackmills.
They were joined by Ian
Cheung, managing director
for the East Midlands
region of Kier
Construction.
Chief Constable Lee said:
"It was a privilege to
attend the topping out
ceremony of this impressive
and much needed building,
which will provide upgraded
custody facilities for
Northampton, Daventry and
South Northamptonshire, as
well as additional office
space for other police and
criminal justice
functions.
"The construction of the
centre is on schedule,
within budget, and I am
very much looking forward
to seeing the remainder of
the works progress over the
next few months."
Deirdre Newham added: "The
development of the CJC is
an integral part of the
force's estates strategy
and a significant
investment for the
authority and the
force.
"It was exciting to see the
progress so far, in
particular the new custody
area, which will provide a
modern, purpose-built
custody facility that will
serve the county in the
medium and long-term
future."
The new custody centre is
urgently needed to replace
and upgrade the existing
cell facilities at Campbell
Square and Weston Favell
police stations, which are
too small and outdated. The
building is scheduled for
completion in July and the
CJC is expected to be fully
operational by September
2012.
In addition to a 40-cell
custody facility, the CJC
will provide over 2,000sq m
of specially-built office
space. As well as
accommodating police
officers and staff involved
in the custody and criminal
justice process, the new
centre will provide
opportunities to realign
the force's estate,
releasing leasehold
properties and temporary
modular buildings to ensure
policing services are
located appropriately and
effectively and best able
to meet the policing needs
of Northamptonshire.
