ILMINSTER NEWS: Hello, hello, hello – what’s going on here then?

ILMINSTER Police have finally moved into new facilities in the town – but people will not be able to visit them.

A new police office has been created at Summervale Surgery in Canal Way, providing suitable accommodation and computer systems the beat team needs to continue policing in Ilminster.

Neighbourhood Inspector Neil Dillon said: “The move into this new facility will have no effect on policing of Ilminster, allowing officers to continue their work in the town.

“This new base will solely be for the use of our officers and therefore there are no facilities for visiting members of the public. This means, members of the public will still need to visit Chard Police Station to access an enquiry office.

“The 101 phone number and force website can also be used to contact us about non-urgent matters.

“We would like to thank Summervale Surgery for welcoming us into their facility.”

As a result of the move, the former police station in The Butts is currently for sale.

Chard Police Station can be found at 2 Millfield, Chard, TA20 2DA. The enquiry office in Chard is open from 10am-6pm, Monday to Friday.
