Police Front Counter Closures: Save Pinner Police Station

The Mayor of London vowed to 'ensure the Met is able to effectively respond to the public, including maintaining a 24-hour police front office counter in every borough' during his campaign last year.

I am deeply concerned about these plans, and I will be campaigning to ensure that residents in my constituency still have an accessible front counter service. You can follow updates here.
