The Metropolitan Police has reversed its decision to close the front counter at Hammersmith Police Station, following public concern and political pressure from across West London. The station will now remain open with revised hours — 10am to 10pm on weekdays and 9am to 7pm at weekends — instead of closing entirely as originally planned.
The U-turn means that residents of Hammersmith & Fulham will continue to have local, in-person access to police services, avoiding the prospect of having to travel to Charing Cross, the nearest 24-hour front counter, which itself has been at the centre of controversy in recent months.
