Richmond Park’s MP is leading calls to reinstate a police station in Richmond town centre.
Sovereign Gate in Kew Road closed in 2017 and police officers were rehomed two miles away across the river in Twickenham. Lib Dem Sarah Olney claims that since the closure, residents have reported a rise in car thefts, burglaries, and anti-social behaviour. At the time of the closure, it was estimated the move would save the Met nearly £590,000 per year. That’s the equivalent of 11 police officers. Ms Olney has now launched a petition to bring Sovereign Gate back into use.
