From the booklet Wiltshire Statistics 1985, published by Wiltshire County Council, 1985:
The Wiltshire Constabulary – Police Buildings
The Force is generally well served with buildings. Chippenham Police Station, however, lacks some facilities although by a series of minor works projects the building can be upgraded to meet current and future demands. The Home Office have given authority for the purchase of a site on which to build a Sub-Divisional Headquarters and Traffic Petrol Centre in the developing Swindon-Western Expansion area.
