Rt Hon David Evennett, MP for Bexleyheath and Crayford, has officially responded to Public Access and Engagement Strategy consultation run by The Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime.

The draft document contains proposals to sell Bexleyheath Police Station and move the existing 24/7 front counter to Marlowe House in Sidcup.

Mr Evennett has previously raised concerns about this proposal and commented: “A move of the front counter services and the Police HQ to Sidcup would be highly inconvenient and I also believe response times in areas of my constituency would be negatively affected, including Bexleyheath, Crayford, Erith, Slade Green, and Welling.”

"I urge Bexley residents to respond to this consultation and to oppose the reckless and unacceptable proposals put forward by the Labour Mayor of London.”
