At Wednesday’s full council meeting I questioned the Leader of the Council about the Council’s position on Labour’s plans to close East Dulwich Police Station. Unsurprisingly, he thinks we should retain a local police presence in our area - just like the thousands of local people who have signed our petition.
We have suggested that if the building really is unfit for purpose and falling down then the Met could re-develop the the site and use the money raised to provide a modern, police station on site, open 24/7 and ideally co-locating the police with community safety wardens and other services.
I was delighted that he endorsed this idea and promised to raise the idea with the Borough Commander at their next meeting.
