Station reopens as police increase Edlington presence

A team of one sergeant, four PCs and four PCSOs will work from the station, on Main Avenue.
Don Valley MP Nick Fletcher said: “This is a positive step for the community of Edlington.
“The police force across Doncaster do a fantastic job and this station will enable them to continue fighting crime and keeping the public safe.”
