Lochboisdale police station is relocating to new premises in Daliburgh

Lochboisdale police station is relocating from its current leased premise to a new location in Daliburgh, three miles away. This move will see local police collocating as part of a community partnership with Stòras Uibhist. The new address is: Daliburgh police station, Office 2, Oifis Storas, Daliburgh, South Uist, HS8 5SS.

Lochboisdale police station will close tomorrow, Wednesday, 12 March, 2025. The nearest front counter remains at Benbecula, where the public have continued access to police services.

The new location provides a smaller fit for purpose office in a relatively modern building with 24 hour access and allocated parking for officers.

The proposal to move out of Lochboisdale police station was approved by the Scottish Police Authority (SPA) in August 2021. The paper that was presented to the SPA included a local consultation exercise that was undertaken by division. We are now in a position to proceed with the relocation.

There will be no disruption to policing services as a result of this move. Our presence in Lochboisdale and the surrounding areas will remain consistent and reliable.

Chief Inspector Ross McCartney said: “Relocating to a space managed by Stòras Uibhist is a positive step for local policing. Co-locating allows us to be present in a community owned space, reinforcing our commitment to be accessible. We’re looking forward to working with the people of South Uist from our new station in Daliburgh.”
