5. Notice of Motion
Police Scotland - Proposed Withdrawal of Public Counter Facilities - Motion by Councillors Robertson and Simpson
This Council is very concerned about Police Scotland's proposals to withdraw public counter facilities from all Perth and Kinross police stations, save for Pitlochry and Perth. We see this as a backward step which will impact on nearly all of our rural communities. These closures have been announced without any prior consultation with any of those communities affected by the withdrawal of this service.
We see this as a first step towards wholesale police station closures both in Perth and Kinross and throughout Scotland.
We ask that this Council write to Police Scotland voicing our concerns and ask that a dialogue be entered into to find a way of protecting the community/police interface which we consider vital in delivering effective policing.
