Police Stations: Horwich

Asked by Phil BrickellLabourHome OfficeTabled Answered 30 July 2024UIN 1067

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if her Department will make an assessment of the potential merits of re-opening the public enquiry office at Horwich police station.

Answered by Dame Diana Johnson

Decisions relating to the police estate, including the availability of public enquiry counters, are decisions for Chief Constables and democratically elected Police and Crime Commissioners, as they are best placed to make decisions about frontline policing and how resources are best deployed at a local level.

I will write to the Hon Gentlemen with details of how he can make representations to the local police authorities about the facilities of Horwich police station.
