Sale of Thornbury's police station is imminent so the police will be looking for somewhere to host their face-to-face contact with the public. Perhaps they'll follow the lead set by the Metropolitan Police who are closing front counters at police stations and opening access points in places of worship, coffee shops and football grounds.
Thornbury is very well endowed with coffee shops and churches so perhaps, even as I write, one of these is being considered by Avon & Somerset Police. A church would offer the possibility of prayer, and in some cases confession, while waiting to be seen. A coffee shop would be less private but would have the edge when it came to whiling away the time.
While I'm on the subject of the police presence in Thornbury, I note that the South Yorkshire Police are deploying cardboard cut-outs of uniformed police officers in order to deter thieves...... Coming soon to Thornbury on Friday and Saturday nights?
