Six standard houses with garages for police officers are to be erected on sites owned by the Police Authority at Moreton Park, Bideford, at a cost of £25,360.

Two houses for senior officers will be built later.
The Finance Committee reporting this to the County Council on Thursday week said that the establishment at Bideford was for 36 male officers. Deducting 13 single officers and owner-occupiers, this left a need for 23 units of housing. Of 18 houses available, three were below standard and required replacement.
