Plymouth police custody cells to close for 12 weeks for £650,000 revamp

“headhunter267: you probably won't be surprised to learn that the Plymstock police station is likewise closed to the public, yet there does seem to be evidence of occupancy. It must be a very busy place, since no-one can be @ssed to put a parking ticket on the motorbike frequently left outside on double yellows. Then, it probably belongs to one who doesn't have to obey laws like the rest of us.”

“id not of advertised this as its gna allow alot of offenders to be dealt with in the street ie £80 fine instead of being placed in custody.
crownhill has limited custody cells 16 so over the bridge will be exhausted.
just an insight too what will happen to the idiots on union st kicking off all the time. police will be lineing up to on their radios awaiting a responce to release or detain dont say this wont happen cause it will cough prioritise arrests for a cell. still it will save cps money i suppose!!
what they fitting in cells onsuite tv. rant over just sm1 sick off ppl getting away with it!!”

“Put TV in all the cells.”

“This represents in a nutshell the dichotomy that exists in our country. On the one hand the public bodies are being forced to reduce costs over their whole range of services. At the same time, the range and complaexity of services provided are ever more closely scrutinised, criticised and subject to very very expensive reform and upgrading.
Hopefully someone reading this will reassure me that the very expensive capital buildings projects the Police are undertaking are paid for from a different budget than Policing services? I'm not convinved.
I walk past the new Devonport Police station and laugh every time to see a reception area that doesn't have anyone in it to receive people!! Apart from the very obvious two fingers this is giving us all, it displays an apalling lack of forethought to include a public reception if they never had the staff or intention to man it.
Meanwhile, as I walk past it, I don't see too many coppers coming out of it to actually do some policing.
Still. The prisoners (or should I say customers) will be more comfortable, and have their detention needs met more fully at Charles Cross in 12 weeks time.”

“Hopefully fitting them with uncomfortable beds, dinghy paintwork, flashing strobe lighting and white noise sound systems - some shackles and manacles too. We live in hope.”

“B****er...well you would say you were in a cell for no good reason wouldn't you.”

“Realist 101, it's the council that implement the rises regardless of who is the recipient.”

“Jabba, the quotes most likely come from an unsigned press release. The gender of the spokesperson is not available to the writer of the piece.”

“a "Spokesperson" .... what is this ? communist old Russia ? Even they stopped that rubbish . How long before "party member "? What is so wrong with wether saying a woman or a man said something ?”
