A former police station in Ulverston, south Cumbria, is undergoing redevelopment into short-stay accommodation, office spaces and a food courtyard. The project, estimated to cost £3.5 million, began in May this year with completion expected by 2028.

Plans to convert the station and courthouse into office space, retail units and 'boutique' accommodation were approved by Westmorland and Furness Council in 2023. Building Design Northern is leading the project.

Michelle Scrogham, the MP for Barrow and Furness, visited the site after local residents asked about progress. She said the historic building was 'majorly run down' and described the vision for it as 'something new to locals and tourists alike'. She added that good progress was already visible and she looked forward to seeing how it would be incorporated into the 'festival town' when finished.
