Estates Consultation: Balerno

Closed 18 Feb 2024

Opened 14 Dec 2023

Results updated 14 Mar 2024

The Scottish Police Authority has this week approved plans to dispose of Balerno police station in Edinburgh following public consultation.

Balerno station, on the outskirts of Edinburgh, has historically been underutilised and has not been used as an operational response station for many years. Officers deploy from Wester Hailes which is less than five miles away and has the nearest public counter.

The building will be marketed for sale in due course.

Our officers will continue to be visible and accessible, and the Balerno community will continue to receive the same high level of service.
