Increase Police Funding and re-open closed Police Stations
Several Police Stations have been closed leaving many areas vulnerable to the increase in crime. We need to Re-open these stations and increase funding to bring back a Police Force that the general public can rely on.
Since 2010 the government has cut police funding by 19%. Police in England and Wales have now been told that a £420m pensions shortfall must be met from their already reduced budgets.
After recalculating officers’ pension liabilities, the Treasury decided forces needed to contribute more. Forces are now coming to terms with the impact of the further budget squeeze and anger is mounting.
