Former Whittlesey police station becomes council offices

The former Whittlesey police station has become the new offices for the town council.

The grand opening has taken place at the premises called Peel House in Queen Street, two-and-a-half years after it was revealed discussions over a deal with Police and Crime Commissioner Jason Ablewhite to restore the redundant building were underway.
