In July 2003, the decision was made to close our local police station in Falkirk and build a modern one and, in consultation with staff, we decided to look at ways to involve the whole nursery in the new building project.
All the children were familiar with the station as:
* they passed the police station during outings
* they and their parents passed the station en route to and from nursery
* the nursery had close links with the community policeman.
First, we contacted the building firm, Robertson Construction, to find out how we could be involved and when specific pieces of work would take place on the site. We felt it was important that the children were involved in this project from day one so that they could track its progress.
