Former police station for sale in regeneration bid

A former Sussex police station which was transformed into a community space is to be put up for sale.

Lancing police station in North Road was bought by Adur District Council in 2021 and turned into a community space with meeting rooms and events spaces leased to small businesses.

The site will now be sold in a bid to regenerate the surrounding area, which councillors say has a "huge amount of potential for redevelopment".

Income from the sale will be re-invested into other community projects, the council say.

Councillor Becky Allinson, cabinet member for regeneration, said: "The police station site is a prominent location in Lancing with a huge amount of potential for redevelopment.

"We're looking for someone who wants to invest in this great location and help us transform North Road for everyone who lives and works in the area."
