Former Paisley police station on sale for £75,000

Summarised from BBC Glasgow And West's report · Updated 29 Oct, 13:15 · Archive

A former police station in Paisley that closed last year is being sold as a development opportunity, with offers in excess of £75,000 invited. The building occupies a prominent corner pitch on Ferguslie Park Avenue, near schools, a community centre and a sports centre. It includes reception areas, offices, storage spaces and a secured parking area to the rear with covered spaces for up to 10 vehicles.

Surveyors say the building has 'scope for alternative use' subject to planning permission, and report already receiving keen interest. The station had not been open to the public for more than a decade when Police Scotland announced plans to dispose of it following a consultation. Chief Superintendent Rhona Fraser said retaining the building was unnecessary given it was two miles from Paisley police station and three miles from Johnstone station, and that merging resources allowed the force to focus on delivering frontline policing.
