00:00Solihull is being promised it will keep a permanent police station, even as plans move forward to demolish the current
00:07Homer Road building.
00:09West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner Simon Foster says the existing station is outdated and no longer fit for modern
00:16policing.
00:17He says neighbourhood teams and a public contact office would move to a new town centre site, with response policing
00:24based at Winchcombe Road.
00:26Council leader Karen Grinsall says advanced discussions are underway.
00:31Campaigners have fought the Homer Road closure for years, while a planning application proposes offices and a multi-storey car
00:39park on the site, if planning permission follows in the coming months ahead.
