Beat managers and community support officers will be based at South Wye police station, as well as the Hereford City and Rural Geographical Commander.

A front counter service will be available to people between 1000 and 1400 BST for six days a week.

It is hoped the station, which has been built on the old Vortex site in Newton Farm, will enable more officers to become integrated in the area.

The former Lord-Lieutenant for Worcestershire, Sir Thomas Dunne, will open the building on Friday.
