“In the meantime, if you need to contact Gwent Police, please call 101 or send a direct message through our Gwent Police Facebook or Twitter pages.

“Always call 999 in an emergency.”

Gwent Police moved its front-counter services into the One Stop Shop, run by Monmouthshire County Council inside Abergavenny Town Hall, after the town’s police station in Tudor Street was sold. The site has been approved for retirement apartments.

A Monmouthshire County Council spokeswoman said the One Stop Shop was open, and only the police desk was affected.
