I found out today that the reason the Police don't want to use the Docking Station, is that they are not prepared to pay anything towards the cost of the space - space occupied by a charity prepared to share with other public and community services.
The Police want level access, a toilet, a private room, expect it to be warm and clean and secure - and that costs money. The Docking Station estimates around £25 per hour. But the Met are unwilling to pay that. We know they are facing cuts, but surely they can afford £600 per month?!
