Shut down in 2017
Lee Barron is fighting hard to get a dedicated police station back in the town of Corby for the first time in seven years.
The former police station in Elizabeth Street was shut down in 2017 and since then, neighbourhood officers have worked out of a privately-rented office in the Cube
A public enquiries desk is only open for a limited amount of time, two days a week, with people answering bail told to take selfies to prove they turned up.
This set-up is simply not good enough for Corby’s 70,000 population and that is why we started a campaign – backed by the Northants Telegraph and Corby Town Council to return a proper police station to the town.
The police station closed down and was replaced by an enquiries desk that is only open two days a week. That’s just not good enough for Corby.
There’s a perception in Corby that the police are remote, and that means people believe they can behave in whatever way they want.
