Leader of Highland Council expresses disappointment at Police Scotland's announcement to press ahead with closures

Leader of the Highland Council, Margaret Davidson responded to today's announcement by Police Scotland saying:

"I am very disappointed to hear that Police Scotland have announced they are going to press ahead with the closure of Inverness and Aberdeen Control Rooms. This does not help public confidence in decisions made by Police Scotland. To continue with centralisation plans without awaiting the outcome of the review shows an unwillingness to listen and is not a welcome response."

Cllr Davidson continued: "I have written today to the Chief Constable on this matter."
