Norfolk's three year old Police HQ building cost. The figure staggered me, I'd have thought you could build a small town for it.

It's just the bit on the left.

This building, (which a couple of BiB told me is *awful*) will become disused if the Forces merger goes ahead. Unfortunately, because it's a PFI, we have to pay for it anyway for 30 years, so it may become a training centre.

23 million and peanuts in the overall scheme of things.

Nottinghamshire spent 36 million on their traffic wing.
Cheshire spent 40 mill on their HQ.

Go on we are all agog.

I'd say £20 million. And that doesn't include Waitrose next door...

Assuming similar construction standards to decent private homes, and looking at the approx size of it, i'd say c.£10m.

But given various comments I'll guess at £50m?!?
