Text

I appreciate that it is a matter for the Policing Board, but the Minister will be aware that it is a matter of great concern for communities that will lose the front desk of their local police station, such as at Tennent Street. Indeed, I understand that Musgrave Street will be the only station, not just in Belfast but in many surrounding areas, with a front desk for the public to call in. Will the Minister, along with those with direct operational responsibility, monitor the waiting times at Musgrave Street and, if possible, explore whether some call-in function by arrangement can be made for people handing in 11/1 parade notifications or those required to sign in accordance with court bail conditions?
