The potential of police hubs in Dumbarton and Alexandria town centres will be raised by West Dunbartonshire Council’s leader later this month.
Martin Rooney said he would speak to Police Scotland about the potential of using vacant shops as hubs, after a resident outlined concerns over a lack of police presence in town centres.
The Dumbarton man, who asked not to be named, said: “I have contacted politicians about giving the police an empty premises in the town so we have a presence in the town, especially for the elderly residents who I have heard saying they that feel uneasy when getting their pensions and leaving the post office.
