**THIS WAS AN APRIL FOOLS DAY POST**
A police box is set to arrive in Rishton in a bid to fight crime and deter antisocial behaviour. There are currently only two operational police boxes in England, the others being at Earl's Court in London and Boscombe in Dorset.
The new box will be constructed from steel and weigh over 2 tonnes, serving as a relay post and also a temporary means of incarceration if and when required. There will also be four cameras contained within protected mounts on the outer shell.
Commissioner David McDonald said, "The British public call box is iconic and has proven a reassuring feature in other locations. I'm proud to have been involved and have received lots of positive comments from the public."
