Police move into new Pateley Bridge station
North Yorkshire Police today officially moved out of its station in Pateley Bridge and into a new home across the road.
Officers from Harrogate outer neighbourhood policing team will now share space with Harrogate Borough Council on King Street.
North Yorkshire Police said there will be no change to its counter service at the Nidderdale Plus Hub on Station Square.
The counter service is open to the public on Mondays 10am – 6pm, Tuesdays to Fridays 10am – 4pm, and at weekends from 10am – 1pm.
According to the police, the move is expected to save £19,000 per year.
The former police building on King Street will go on the market next month, at an asking price of £142,000.

Inspector Alex Langley said today the proximity of the new and old buildings would make it easy for people to adjust. He added:
