MORE than 1,000 people have signed a petition calling for any threat of closure to Clacton police station to be lifted.
Theresa O’Hara, from Clacton, launched the campaign after it emerged police commissioner Nick Alston was reviewing the number of stations across Essex.
Axing bases in Clacton and Walton are among the options on the table.
“There were well over 1,000 names - the response has been fabulous,” said Mrs O'Hara.
The petition will go before a future meeting of Tendring Council.
