He added that the bail reporting instructions “make a mockery of the judicial system”.
“It is totally unacceptable that a handwritten note or a photo is sufficient evidence to ensure the individual is meeting their bail conditions,” he said.
“We need to see visibility and a high profile, and a police desk open two days a week does neither. This current situation is ridiculous.”
A Northamptonshire Police spokesperson said: “We are currently dealing with a shortage of front desk staff at the Corby Cube, which has led to reduced hours of opening.
“This is a temporary arrangement, and new staff are currently going through the vetting process with a view to normal service resuming soon.
“The Corby Neighbourhood Policing Team is based at the Corby Cube, so there is a police presence at the location should they be required.”
