From Monday, October 2 police station front counter opening hours will change across Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, and Powys.

From that date, a face-to-face service will be provided from Monday to Friday, between the hours of 8 am to 12pm; and 12.30 to 4 pm at the following locations:

• Haverfordwest

• Carmarthen

• Ammanford

• Llanelli town centre

• Dafen

• Aberystwyth

• Cardigan

• Brecon

• Llandrindod Wells

• Newtown

A spokesperson for Dyfed-Powys Police stated: “The change allows the force to make best use of resources to deliver an effective public service that continues to meet the needs and expectations of communities and will improve the availability of front counter services, making opening hours much clearer.

“It comes as part of a wider change programme across Heddlu Dyfed-Powys Police, where estates, technology, and the equipment available to officers and staff are coming together to improve policing and the service to communities.

“ The same services will be available once the change comes into effect, and you will still be able to visit your nearest location to process a shotgun license application, report a crime or intelligence, produce legal documents, or request advice.”
