Suffolk County Council welcomes Landmark House sale to Suffolk Police.

Councillor Joe Mason, Deputy Cabinet Member for Property and County Farms said: “Today’s decision is very good news for residents. It supports improved policing services while helping the county council continue to manage its office estate efficiently and deliver value for taxpayers. We will keep working closely with the Police and Crime Commissioner and Suffolk Constabulary to ensure a smooth transition and minimal disruption for staff and the public.”

Suffolk’s Police and Crime Commissioner, Tim Passmore, said: “We have part-owned Landmark House with the county council for many years and when the council made the decision to sell it made sense to purchase their share.

“This additional space will help address concerns about the poor state of the CCR accommodation raised by His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Service during their 2023 PEEL Inspection.

Suffolk Constabulary’s Chief Constable, Rachel Kearton, said: “This development forms part of our ongoing journey of transformation of contact management with the public and I am grateful for their support as we continue to improve. It’s also important our communities recognise we will strive to do the best we can to continue to provide a police service they can be proud of.”
