St Anne Street first opened in 1972 and has gone on to become Merseyside Police’s busiest operational station. Work to completely refurbish the station, including adding a new floor, began in April 2021. Now transformed, the five-storey station boasts open-plan working spaces and modern AV equipment within each meeting room and will house 450 officers and staff.

Adjacent to Merseyside Police’s state-of-the-art new headquarters Rose Hill, St Anne Street now boasts a similar facade, helping to create a ‘campus’ feel across the site. With a modern new insulated cladding system, LED lighting throughout, electric car charging points and solar panels, the transformation has improved the building’s energy efficiency while reducing carbon emissions, helping to support Merseyside Police’s drive to be the most sustainable force in the country. All of these improvements are expected to reduce running costs – by at least 18% – compared to the original building.
