PUBLIC-facing desks at police stations across the county could close as part of a force-wide cut to front counter services. Thames Valley Police (TVP) launched a public consultation on Monday seeking residents’ views on whether front counters should close at Bicester, Witney and Kidlington South police stations. Under the plans, the force will also reduce Oxford’s St Aldate’s police station opening hours by two hours from 8am - 8pm seven days a week, to 8am - 10pm instead. Opening hours of front counters in Abingdon and Banbury will also be reduced. The proposed changes, which include reductions in Buckinghamshire and Berkshire as well, would save the force around £1.4million.
