<p>Since May 2010, there have been 9 operational closures of British Transport Police
sites at the following locations:</p><p>Debden</p><p>Ealing Broadway</p><p>Hastings</p><p>Ipswich</p><p>St
Leonards</p><p>Taunton</p><p>Wood Green</p><p>Watford</p><p>Wednesbury</p><p> </p><p>The
BTP has advised that the closure of these operational posts has not affected the policing
capability or visibility at these locations. The majority of the offices closed were
either very small satellite offices or in unsuitable locations where coverage is more
cost-effectively provided from larger neighbouring stations.</p><p> </p><p>Additionally,
two further sites have closed since May 2010 but they have been replaced by newer
refurbished premises in the same vicinity.</p><p> </p>
