New opening times for Newtown Police Station

Public opening times at Newtown Police Station will change from Monday.

Dyfed Powys Police has said the public counter desk will open between 8am and 12pm and 12pm to 4pm between Mondays and Fridays.

The force said: "The change allows the force to make best use of resources to deliver an effective public service that continues to meet the needs and expectations of communities and will improve the availability of front counter services, making opening hours much clearer.

"It comes as part of a wider change programme across Heddlu Dyfed-Powys Police, where estates, technology, and the equipment available to officers and staff are coming together to improve policing and the service to communities.

"The same services will be available once the change comes into effect, and you will still be able to visit your nearest location to process a shotgun license application, report a crime or intelligence, produce legal documents, or request advice."

It added: "If you need the police when it is not an emergency, you can also contact them through a direct message on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, or online, by emailing 101@dyfed-powys.police.uk, or by calling 101. If you are deaf, hard of hearing, or speech impaired text the non-emergency number on 07811 311 908.
If a crime is in progress, or there is a danger to life, risk of serious injury, or damage to property, always dial 999."
