Estates Consultation: Kilwinning

Results updated 5 Jun 2025

Thank you for your interest and engagement in the Police Scotland estate and changes proposed.

In December 2023 we launched public consultations on the proposed disposal of a number of police stations including Kilwinning.

Since launching the consultation, further work has been undertaken internally to review and consider what our wider estate requirements will be for the future.

In November 2024 the Scottish Police Authority endorsed Police Scotland’s Estates Masterplan, a 10-year estates transformation programme that sets out our strategic intent for each building and most importantly enables us to prioritise that work. Shortly after the Scottish Government indicated that funding would be provided to support its implementation.

The future of Kilwinning police station is currently under review as part of the Estates Masterplan. No decision has been made at this time. Feedback received during the public consultation remains valuable and will be carefully considered as part of the review.

Kilwinning police station has been closed since 2020. Response officers, those officers who respond to non-emergency and emergency calls to the police, deploy from Irvine police station, less than three miles away. The front counter at Irvine is open seven days a week, 7am to 12am

We will ensure any future estate changes enables modern policing, supports the health, safety and wellbeing of our people and the communities we serve and reduces long term operating costs.

We are committed to creating an estate that is best for our officers and staff, meets our operational requirements and supports the communities that we serve.
