RUBERY Police Station is set to reopen next Monday (9th Feb) after refurbishment.

The station, in New Road, closed to the public at the end of November to enable work to take place to improve front counter facilities and provision for disabled people. However the station remained operational.

The work was to make the facilities compliant with the Disability Discrimination Act.

Improvements included a ramp, and new front counter facility with high and low level desks, a new consultation room and toilet with disabled facilities.

The refurbishment is part of a programme taking place at police stations across the area.
