GB News: 'Utterly inadequate!' Sadiq Khan accused of 'removing policing from communities' with major change
Hillingdon Council Leader Ian Edwards criticized Mayor Sadiq Khan for plans to close police station front desks, claiming it breaks election promises and diminishes community policing. The Metropolitan Police's cost-saving measure would leave Hillingdon residents with no local access to face-to-face police support.
Edwards expressed concern over the lack of alternatives for reporting crime and the symbolic decline of police presence in communities. He urged the Mayor to prioritize safety over other projects, highlighting that Londoners deserve better policing. The Mayor's office stated that changes to police counters are operational decisions based on funding and public demand.
