A NEW police station could open in a town centre.
Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner Katy Bourne has asked residents for their views on the plans in Crowborough.
Last year the force was granted permission to convert the old Town Hall into a new modern station.
Mrs Bourne says it will replace the current Victorian police station building which is in a poor state of repair and not in the town centre.
She said: “I know that residents appreciate seeing a police presence in their area and feel reassured to know that officers are still working in the heart of their community.
“I also believe it is vitally important to keep residents informed of what is happening in their local area. So, I’m keen to see how technology could be used to provide information about policing and other local services even during the hours when the station itself is closed.”
