Ross Police Station is set for closure within the next year, although Ross will gain a Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) Deployment Base, sharing a location with another organisation in the immediate area. A police spokesman explained that Ross was not included in the list of operational police estate changes and closures announced last week, as the new partner, or location, has not yet been formally agreed.

West Mercia's Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC), Bill Longmore and West Mercia Police's Chief Constable, David Shaw announced the changes which are part of the force's new approach to delivering services on Wednesday, July 17th.
