Police station opening hours to be slashed?

CUTTING police station opening hours and providing more services online will form part of Sussex Police's multi-million pound savings drive.

In September the force announced it would shed some 500 police officers and 550 staff countywide in a bid to save £52 million over the next five years.

And after the government’s Comprehensive Spending Review confirmed the police budget will be cut by 16 per cent over the next four years, more details of the local plans emerged at a meeting of the Sussex Police Authority (SPA).
