The Council is frustrated by this decision, which leaves residents without a face-to-face counter and removes another visible part of local police presence.
We'll continue standing up for you by pressing the Met and City Hall to properly recognise the needs of #LBRuT residents.
We called for a judicial review of Twickenham Police Station front counter closure, which has been refused by the High Court ❌
