Old Town Hall Could Become Police Station.
With the residents & businesses in Sant Antoni always complaining that people do not report crimes because it is hard to get to the local police station or the Guardia Civil quarters on the outskirts of town, this week the authorities said that they were studying setting up a police post in the old town hall building in the heart of the town. It appears that the idea is to staff this installation with police who normally occupied the sub station at the end of the sea front promenade in Punta des Moli. This sub station has apparently not been too effective in fighting crime or helping residents or visitors report crime because it is neither easy to reach from Sant Antoni or from the bay. When the old Town Hall is set up as a police sub station in Sant Antoni, the Punta des Moli sub station will be most likely moved, at the request of the Bay Bar Association, to a new location in the centre of the Cala de Bou tourist region to better serve this area of the island.
