Merseyside Police are looking to sell the two-acre site off New Chester Road, with the goal of using the receipts to build a new hub in Wirral. The plot of land includes the 26,900 sq ft police station, a 5,300 sq ft garage, and two homes totalling 3,500 sq ft. The houses are currently used as offices.
