Wandsworth news
Wandsworth Liberal Democrats have launched a petition demanding that the Mayor of London keeps the Lavender Hill counter open - the only remaining police front counter in our borough.
The Met has been forced to close nearly half of London's public-facing police front counters, dropping from 37 to just 19, with only 8 staying open 24/7 across the capital. After years of Conservative cuts to police staff, the Met is still facing a £2bn shortfall in officer numbers and unmet estate investment needs.
If Lavender Hill's front counter in Battersea closes, residents in our borough will no longer to able to walk into a police station to seek help or report a crime face-to-face. The nearest 24/7 access points for affected residents will now be in Kingston, Sutton, or Lambeth.
Local people agree with the Lib Dems that policing needs to be visible, local and available when residents need them most. That’s why the local Liberal Democrats are calling on the Labour government to fund the Metropolitan Police in full, and the London Mayor to keep our Lavender Hill counter open.
