How lies and misinformation is spread
I understand it is now being said that Sadiq Khan closed all the police stations down
Here are facts
The Metropolitan Police (Met) has closed police stations in London due to government funding cuts and other factors:
Government funding cuts
The Met has had to save over £600 million since 2010 due to the. governments funding cuts.
Prioritizing public safety
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has made difficult decisions to close some police front counters to prioritize public safety and protect officers.
Increased distance to police stations
The increased distance to police stations has slowed officer response time and decreased the Met's ability to solve investigations.
Selling off stations
The Met has sold off some police stations, including Savile Row, Tooting, and Cavendish Road, for a combined total of over £62 million.
Most police stations in London were closed under Boris Johnson, before Sadiq Khan became Mayor!
