GMP do stress that members of the public will still be able to visit those Police stations for pre-arranged appointments. They will also review the existing delivery of neighbourhood clinics/meeting. Early in 2017 GMP will provide access to an online loss reporting system where members of the public can report any lost property online. Provision will also be made for the use of yellow phones currently located outside police stations to be enhanced at each of the PECs due to close.
