FYI @NTBCC @theSpurtle @thecockburn @JackRMCaldwell @FinlayMcF @jomowat Comments? We need the police — obviously — but do we still need physical police stations in this day & age?

"GAYFIELD SQUARE POLICE STATION...advertised as one of two stations in the city centre...open 24/7 all year round...But Lothian Tory MSP Miles Briggs said there had been regular closures of the Gayfield Square public counter...throughout the autumn." 1. https://t.co/7x6myOt0wC

@Holledge @NTBCC @theSpurtle @thecockburn @FinlayMcF @jomowat Thanks for flagging- genuinely wasn't aware of adhoc closures as Leith Walk ward is fully in Edinburgh E(ast) division so both police community beats & 999 response teams come from Commercial Street. Leith counter closed years back so Gayfield is only desk/lost property in area!

@theSpurtle Not to mention you have to be careful as the management there are quite hostile to photographers (especially if you have an actual camera around your neck, not just the phone one). A needlessly unfriendly attitude, another reason to avoid the soulless place.
