Construction of the new Pendle Police Station hit a milestone last week, with the completion of steel work for the project.
The achievement was marked by a ‘steel signing’ ceremony on 6 January, with Lancashire’s Police and Crime Commissioner Clive Grunshaw and Chief Constable Sacha Hatchett, alongside Divisional Commander Chief Superintendent Steve Rides, Superintendent Derry Crorken and others, signing steel beams which have been installed at the site.
The new facility is due to open in Spring 2026, and will house response and neighbourhood policing teams, investigations and more. The station will also have a front counter, maintaining the service for Pendle residents.
“I’m pleased to see the new Pendle Police Station starting to take shape, with policing in the area set to benefit from what is a significant investment into policing infrastructure in the east of the county.
“The Carr Road station will play a key part in delivering efficient, effective policing for Pendle and the wider area, that the public rightly expect and deserve.
“I’m looking forward to seeing further progress being made in the coming months and being able to open this modern, fit for purpose police station that will help deliver on my commitment to tackle crime and keep people safe.”

Chief Constable Sacha Hatchett said: “I am delighted that our new Pendle Police Station is on track to be finished during the spring of 2026. This build will provide officers and staff with the facilities they need to do their jobs effectively, whilst ensuring the policing estate is fit for purpose.
“The modern site is part of much-needed wider investment in policing infrastructure in Lancashire.”
