Sadiq Khan has confirmed that more than half of London’s 73 remaining police front counters are to close.

Under controversial new plans, 37 police stations face imminent closure, leaving just one 24-hour police station open to the public in every borough.

They include those in crime “hotspots” such as the West End and busy parts of London including Peckham, Edmonton and Stoke Newington.

Many of the buildings could be sold off to help raise £165 million in capital.

These are all the stations that face closure.

A further four stations – in Barking, Bexley, Pinner and Ruislip – remain under consideration.

Meanwhile plans to open a new police station near Grenfell Tower early next year, for two years only, are to be discussed with the local community.

Mr Khan said police officers would continue to patrol in crime hotspots so they could reach the scene of an emergency quickly.

Dedicated neighbourhood police – whose number will be doubled by the end of this year – will be based at new ward-level hubs closer to communities.

The Mayor said that the plans will save an £8millon – equivalent to the cost of 140 police constables.

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: “Keeping Londoners safe is my number-one priority, and supporting officers out on the beat in our communities is more important than keeping open buildings that are simply not used by the vast majority of the public, and where just eight per cent of crimes are reported.

“Nevertheless, I understand and share some of the very legitimate concerns of Londoners about these closures. That is why we held the widest possible consultation with public meetings in every London borough and we have listened very carefully to the feedback.”

Cressida Dick, Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, added: “The most effective place for our officers to be is out on the streets. Be that on patrol responding to the public, proactively out tackling crime on operations or in their communities forging stronger, better links gaining vital local information”.
