To restore our Public Enquiry Desk at Newton-le-Willows Police Station

Merseyside Police have been ravaged by Government austerity. However, Newton-le-Willows deserves it’s fair share of the remaining resource.

However, the Borough of St. Helens now has the fewest opening hours for enquiry desks across Merseyside.

Southport Police Station: 93 hours
Bootle Police Station: 84 hours a week. (Despite being so close to Liverpool City Centre)

Sefton therefore has a total of 177 open hours. Bootle still has a magistrates court.

Wallasey Police Station: 20 hours
Birkenhead Police Station: 93 hours

The Wirral total: 113 hours per week open. The Wirral still has a magistrates court.

St Anne St: 93 hours
Admiral Street: 84 hours
Walton Lane: 84 hours

Liverpool Total: 261 hours per week open. Liverpool still has a magistrates and crown court.

Huyton Police Station: 93 hours
Kirkby Police Station: 16 hours
Speke Police Station: 16 hours

Knowsley therefore has a total 125 hours a week in total.

St Helens Police Station: 93 hours per week
Newton-le-Willows Police Station: 7 hours per week

Our borough therefore has 100 hours per week in total.

Therefore, our borough has the fewest open hours out of all of Merseyside. We have 77 fewer open hours than Sefton. And 13 less than Knowsley, which has a smaller population than our borough over 3 Police Stations.

St Helens North has been unfairly treated.
