Save our Police Stations Counter Services

Update from October 15th: 

We have been actively campaigning against the closure or reduction in hours of police front counters in your areas and wanted to share a short note on the latest announcement from the Met Police about this issue.

We now understand that the list of counters that are completely closing are as follows:

Harrow (Harrow)
Pinner (Harrow)
Dagenham (Barking and Dagenham)
Barking (Barking and Dagenham)
Chingford (Waltham Forest)
Kensington (Kensington & Chelsea)
Royalty Studios (Kensington and Chelsea)
Hammersmith (Hammersmith & Fulham)
Twickenham (Richmond)
Wimbledon (Merton)
Church Street (Westminster)
Mitcham (Merton)

A further 25 police station counters will have reduced hours which means they will only be open from 10 AM - 10 PM Mon to Fri and from 9 AM - 7 PM on weekends.

this includes Acton Police Station (Ealing) , Croydon , Bromley , Wembley (Brent) ,Brixton (Lambeth) , Walworth (Southwark) , Stoke Newington (Hackney) , Forrest gate (Newham) , Bethnal Green ( Tower Hamlets ) , Colindale (Barnet) , Islington , Hounslow , Romford (Havering) Hammersmith , Kentish Town (Camden) , Ilford (Redbridge) , Kingston ,Bexleyheath (Bexley) , Edmonton (Enfield) , Plumstead (Greenwich ) Lavender Hill (Lambeth) , Sutton , Dagenham , Hayes (Hillingdon) Tottenham (Haringey )

Original petition text:

We are concerned at announced plans to close 24/7 front counter services at 18 police stations across London, slashing hours at dozens more.

This would leave entire boroughs without any public access points, leaving residents without a way to report a crime in person, provide documentation, or seek support from the police in-person. 

The list of Police Front Counters set for closure are:

Kentish Town (Camden)
Tottenham (Haringey)
Edmonton (Enfield) - replaced by Wood Green
Harrow (Harrow)
Bethnal Green (Tower Hamlets)
Dagenham (Barking and Dagenham)
Chingford (Waltham Forest)
Kensington (Kensington & Chelsea)
Hammersmith (Hammersmith & Fulham)
Twickenham (Richmond)
Lavender Hill (Wandsworth)
Wimbledon (Merton)
Hayes (Hillingdon)
Plumstead (Greenwich)
Barking Learning Centre (Barking and Dagenham)
Church Street (Westminster)
Royalty Studios (Kensington and Chelsea)
Mitcham (Merton)

We won't tolerate further cuts to local police services. 

We demand the Mayor of London keeps front counter services at police stations open

Two police officers.
