    In January, following internal damage to the ceiling of Aughton police point at Town Green railway station, it was closed.

    MP Rosie Cooper was so concerned after her lengthy battle to get the facility reopened a few years ago she sought immediate action to get the work done and restore it for the residents of Aughton.

    It has since transpired through MP Rosie’s investigations that the damage occurred in January, and on Lancashire Constabulary becoming aware of it, closed the police point.

    However, it seems that blurred communication lines meant that this was not ultimately reported to Merseyrail until March – after Rosie had reported it to both agencies!

    Merseyrail then carried out prompt remedial works and have now supplied the force with a direct reporting line for any future issues.

    Yesterday afternoon, Rosie opined: "What a mess!

    "Part of the ceiling falls through at Aughton Police Point and it takes two months to report this to Merseyrail.

    “Meanwhile, Aughton residents are left without their local police point.

    “I’m pleased that there is now a direct communications link between the Police and Merseyrail so this shouldn’t happen again, and more importantly the work has been completed and that the police point is now open again.

    “Residents will be delighted to hear that Merseyrail have also indicated that they are formalising a lease agreement with Lancashire Constabulary to secure the future of the police point for the foreseeable future, should the police wish to continue with a presence at Town Green.”

    Rosie Cooper MP and Aughton Parish Council previously brokered a deal in 2012 securing the Police Point at Town Green station which was extended in 2015.
