Motion text
That this House acknowledges the 64% reduction in police officers deployed to full time neighbourhood policing in London since 2015; recognises that over the last decade nearly 100 police stations have been closed to the public including Richmond’s Sovereign Gate Station; notes that this has degraded the Metropolitan Police Service’s ability to support the communities they work in; further notes that the loss of neighbourhood policing has been due in part to the Government’s failure to increase the Metropolitan Police’s central government funding settlement in line with inflation; and calls on the Home Secretary to work with the Mayor to increase the number of full time neighbourhood police officers in London.
