Burnley Police Custody Suite, a crucial part of our community's law enforcement infrastructure, has unfortunately been closed. The closure of the custody suite has posed a significant challenge for our local police force, exacerbating their workload and inhibiting their ability to carry out their duties efficiently. The need to transport detainees to farther facilities not only delays legal processes but also puts an additional financial burden on our town's resources. According to the Lancashire Telegraph in 2020, the closure of Burnley’s Custody Suite was part of a broader strategy to save £60m, but the cost in terms of public safety cannot be underestimated. It is our civic duty to demand the recognition of this issue and advocate for the reopening of Burnley Police Custody Suite. Help us ensure that our community remains safe, our police force remains effective, and justice remains within reach. Please sign this petition to demand the reopening of the Burnley Police Custody Suite.

We have police officers spending hours of their shifts traveling to Blackburn instead of using the 23 cells on our door step. We have a increasing population of over 100k residents and we need our officers on the streets taking positive action against criminals that drag our town down!
