Rangiora Police are excited to be reopening a public reception counter today.?
?
The station was closed late last year after concerns were raised about the building during its refurbishment.?
?
W hile some Police staff have been working from a temporary premises, there has until now been no capability for a public counter.?
?
“We’re very pleased to be reinstating this service today at our temporary premises of 200 King Street,” Canterbury Rural Area Prevention Manager Detective Senior Sergeant Greg Cottam says.?
?
“Work to upgrade the High Street station to current earthquake standards is expected to take several more months."??
?
“A direct dial phone remains on site and, as always, Police are contactable 24/7 by calling 111 in an emergency and 105 for all other non-emergency matters."
?
“I’d like to thank the public for their patience to date and we look forward to relocating back to High Street once the earthquake strengthening is complete.”?
?
The public counter will be open from 9am to 4pm Monday to Friday.?
