Police move to withdraw counter service in Tranent and all traffic wardens

A recent Police Scotland review has resulted in proposals to pull traffic wardens across the whole of Scotland and locally to reduce counter cover to Haddington and Musselburgh.

As it affects this part of the county, Tranent will probably lose its public counter provision. Changes would also be made to the opening times of the public counters at the Musselburgh and Haddington police stations, both of which would open 8am-6pm seven days a week – increasing the number of days the stations open and meaning they would open early all days, but losing late openings during the week.

Police Scotland is keen to get feedback from anyone with a view on this re-organisation. You can get further details from the Police Scotland website

Alternatively you can email your views directly to PublicCounterReview@scotland.pnn.police.uk for comments on the withdrawal of counter services and TrafficWardensReview@scotland.pnn.police.uk on Traffic Warden plans.
