Lib Dems call for police desks in supermarkets and libraries

Lib Dems propose opening police desks in supermarkets and libraries across England and Wales to enhance public confidence and ease crime reporting. The party aims to replace police and crime commissioners (PCCs) to fund this initiative, citing a decline in front counters at police stations. This proposal is discussed at the Lib Dems' conference in Bournemouth, part of their strategy to appeal to conservative voters and address the shrinking political landscape.
