When I worked from Rose Rd Police station in Harborne, the Dudley Rd Station was just a satellite station, occasionally used if ever was my experience, only if something like an affray occurred in that area that required a number of coppers to attend was it used for interviewing...this was the 1980s, regards preservation shud imagine it comes under Bham City auspices and since the Labour council is now defunct/bankrupt cant see it having any cash spent on it?..only way wud be Crowdfunding thats if locals were that interested?its a shame that the old police station is at risk...really hope its saved
