Estates Consultation: Seaton

Results updated 14 Mar 2024

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

Seaton has now been formally declared as surplus along with Balerno in Edinburgh, and Carluke in South Lanarkshire.

Seaton is leased space within Seaton Primary School. The station was last in operational use in response to the Covid pandemic in 2020/21. Since then, policing services in Aberdeen have been realigned and the office has not been used as an operational station for over two years. Officers previously based at this location relocated to other city stations, such as Tillydrone, which is less than two miles away.

Creating a larger team at Tillydrone which serves the Tillydrone, Powis and Seaton areas has created a more efficient and effective policing service for these communities.

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

Decisions on the future of Whinhill, Torry, Rosemount and Mastrick police stations are still to be determined.
