The Police & Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire has criticised a cost-saving measure by the force to close 17 small town “hubs” across the county, calling it “foolhardy” to make this call before a new Chief Constable has been appointed.
Lincolnshire Police has made the call to lock up 17 mostly unstaffed small police buildings, which the force says will save almost £250,000 a year. Locations include Lincoln South and Saxilby, Caistor in West Lindsey, Kirton and Crowland in Boston and South Holland, Alford, Holton-le-Clay, Spilsby, Wainfleet Woodhall Spa and Wragby in East Lindsey, and Billingborough, Caythorpe, Colsterworth, Long Bennington, Market Deeping and Ruskington in North and South Kesteven.
