The Labour Mayor of London is responsible for the Met Police which has repeatedly failed Hammersmith and Fulham.
Fulham Police Station closed in 2017, and they closed Shepherd's Bush Police Station in 2020 with all services transferring to Hammersmith. Now we learn the Met want to close the last remaining 24/7 police counter in Hammersmith and Fulham, on Shepherds Bush Road in Hammersmith.
A key commitment of the "New Met for London" was to have at least one 24/7 front counter in each of London's 32 boroughs to make it easier for people to report crime. Many crimes don't get reported which leaves genuine hotspot areas under-manned so the police need to maintain front counters not close them.
LBHF is fortunate to have brilliant Police officers and this is not fair on those excellent PCs and PCSOs who are already stretched. They need reinforcements not savage cuts.
