Dear Newtonians,
With regard to the police station in Newton Aycliffe, has anyone considered using one of the many empty retail units in the town centre for a new police station?
In particular, the unit under the leisure centre on the opposite side of the library?
Maybe the disabled car park to the rear of the unit could be used for police vehicles with the disabled parking moved to the back of the Halifax which would be a better position for the disabled parking, because users would not need to cross a road to get into the town centre.
In my opinion, the town centre is a disgrace and the retail units are not fit for purpose. Perhaps it is time to re-purpose some of them.
If you agree, let’s try to make it happen, contact your local councillors and our MP Paul Howell.
Many Thanks
Anthony Towers
