Chiswick Campaign Stall |
The petition said "The cuts are going too far and too fast. The millions of pounds being taken from the budgets of the NHS, the Met police and the London Fire Service will inevitably endanger families
and communities across the capital."
Brentford Police Station - to close |
* The Metropolitan Police's budget has been cut by 20%, or £540m, by 2015, at a time when some crime such as violent assault is up
* Since May 2010 the Metropolitan Police has lost 1,444 police officers and 1,960 PCSOs and Safer neighbourhood teams in Hounslow are being cut to just one PC and 1 PCSO each.
* Brentford and Feltham Police Stations will close, and only the
Hounslow station will have a 24/7 service
* the London Ambulance Service is losing 19% of its funding, whilst
at the same time Accident and Emergency departments at Ealing, Charing
Cross and Hammersmith are due to close, and waiting times at A&Es are
rising
* The fire brigade is facing cuts of £64.8m over the next 2 years -
a quarter of its budget.
* 8 firefighters are due to go from Heston Fire Station in Isleworth.
