PART I - NON-CONFIDENTIAL FACTS AND ADVICE TO THE DMPC 

1. Introduction and background  

1. MOPAC approved a programme of investment in the estate associated with the Borough Command Unit (BCU) capability – see Outline Business Cases PCD290 and PCD337.   PCD694 approved the tranche 1 specific works for 15 of the 27 sites and further approvals have been granted for a number of other sites. 

2. This paper seeks approval for investment in Tottenham Police Station as part of the wider BCU estate refurbishment programme. 

2. Issues for consideration 

1. In order to take account of the officer uplift programme this site and the others not already approved for investment were held back from final determination of the refurbishment needed. The designs now proposed reflect police officer growth, new ways of working and the new 350mm wide locker.   

2. The refurbishment of Tottenham Police Station will directly generate qualitative benefits of increased building utilisation, increased staff satisfaction, and more efficient use of officer time.  

3. Financial Comments

2. The completion of these works together with the other sites in the BCU Refurbishment programme will enable the release of other sites and contribute to the generation of an estimated £60.2m of capital receipts and the delivery of planned annual revenue savings of £3.6m.
