THERE is speculation in Holsworthy that the town's police station will close in April.

At the Holsworthy Town Council meeting held on January 5, Cllr Elizabeth Squire asked if the town's police station was going to close.

Mayor, Cllr Richard Brown said he had heard a rumour that it would be administrated via Oke­hamp­ton.

Standing orders were adjourned to allow Devon County Councillor for Holsworthy Rural, Barry Parsons to speak on the matter.

He explained that he heard the police station was to close in April, however plans would be unveiled in a few weeks' time.

For more on this possible closure, see this week's edition of the 'Post'.
