Front desk at Lyme Regis Police Station to re-open after more than a decade
It's been closed since 2011
People in Lyme Regis will once again be able to visit their police station to talk to officers.
The front desk is being reopened two days a week on Tuesday and Thursday 09.30 to 15.30.
The move has been welcomed by Chris Loder, MP for West Dorset.
He says it's a key step forward in the fight against Anti Social Behaviour and Drug Crime.
Mr Loder said: “It’s brilliant news that Lyme Regis Police Station’s front-desk is now re-open. The town has been without a functioning front-desk since 2011 and I am very glad that the service has now been restored by Dorset Police and I am grateful to Police Commissioner David Sidwick for prioritising Lyme Regis with extra services.”
He continued: “Our local community in Lyme Regis has struggled with disruptive Anti-Social Behaviour and drug crime. There is absolutely no excuse for this behaviour, and I hope that the re-opening of the front-desk will make reporting crime in-person more accessible and enable a much faster response to tackle these issues.”
