Bic Basher Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 As part of the Met's cutbacks, they're closing Peckham Police Station, leaving Walworth as the only police station in the borough for people to report crime in person.

trinidad Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I think it is the mayor of London, but do people still attend police stations?

Blah Blah Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Those being arrested do. Those reporting for bail and probation services do. Those giving witness statements do. On the two occasions I have had to go to Peckham Police station, there has always been a long queue.

Sadiq Khan has consistently protested against the government cuts and has provided ?27M from the mayoral budget this year to try to mitigate the worst effects.

I think everyone understands that with inflation no rise is a de facto cut, don't they? Or should the Met stop complaining because they're getting more than they had in 1970?

uncleglen Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Doesn't matter what the cops do because the CPS are probably under strict instructions NOT to get people prosecuted so they let them out on bail and they disappear....
