Possible disruption to 101 service
Our contact management centre is temporarily relocating to its backup sites due to a leakage of water in their usual building.
The 999 service will not be affected by this move.
Superintendent Simon Tunnicliffe said: “Moving the call-handling teams out of their usual base will allow contractors time and space to identify the problem with the building and put it right.

“We are thankful to the public for their assistance and apologise for any inconvenience.”
