Altrincham Police Station is to close its public-facing counter after a review found it was one of the least used in Greater Manchester.
The facility at the Barrington Road station is to shut on February 27th 2017.
A review by Greater Manchester Police found it was one of the 10 least used counters out of 22 across the region.
Others to close include Chadderton, Fred Perry House (Stockport Council), Horwich, Hyde, Leigh, Middleton, Pendleton, Whitefield and Wythenshawe.
The closure will not affect officer numbers in Altrincham and the station will still be used as a base for GMP staff and officers.
And members of the public will still be able to visit the police station for pre-arranged appointments.
Assistant Chief Constable Rob Potts said: “We’ve worked extremely closely with the people of Greater Manchester while making these decisions, including a full, month-long public consultation and meetings with key communities.
“We’ve also looked at the current service provision in great detail, analysing what we can do to continue to allocate resources appropriately.
“We are transforming policing in Greater Manchester and these changes will help us focus on meeting demand that already exists.
“We need people’s continued support as we make changes to ensure we are focused on keeping people safe and providing the best service possible.
“While counters are being used less and less, we are looking at new ways for people to contact us, including plans for a transformed website that directs people to relevant partner agencies depending on the reason for the visit and a new online chat facility that means people will soon be able to communicate with GMP in real-time via the internet.”
The review found that the 10 counters being considered generated just 18% of demand across the whole of Greater Manchester.
