People will no longer be able to pop into Thames Valley Police's Kidlington headquarters for front desk services
PUBLIC-facing desks at police stations across the county are being permanently closed as part of a force-wide cut to front counter services.
The move, which comes after a consultation by Thames Valley Police, will see help desks close at Kidlington South HQ, Bicester and Witney police stations.
The force will also reduce Oxford’s St Aldate’s police station opening hours by two hours and Abingdon station will open from 8am - 4pm from August 30.
Thames Valley Police says the closures aim to adapt to the different ways people now want to make contact with officers, such as via telephone or online.
