Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Police Station Opening Hours Suffer as Part of London Police Plan
Hornsey Police Station - hours reduced to 43 per week
Following the consultation earlier this year, the final London Police and Crime Plan suggests that Haringey residents may have to travel to Tottenham to find a police station open after hours.
Changes in the plan mean:
- Muswell Hill Police Station will be closed down.
- Hornsey Police Station will only be open for 40 hours each week.
What's happening locally is part of the London-wide plan designed to save money and apparently shift resources to putting bobbies on the beat. But these efficiency savings mean that throughout London every borough will have only one all day front counter
In place of the police stations being lost, new “contact points” will be set up in places like supermarkets.
In Haringey the contact points are likely to be open on two afternoons during the week for an hour between 7:00 and 8:00 and on Saturday afternoons between 2:00 and 3:00.
Two locations have been suggested in the west of Haringey - one in Crouch Hall Road and one at Muswell Hill Library.

Right! this is outragous to allow Boris to sell of public resources to his self-servative mates, these buildings belong to the community whom paid for them in the first place.
Boris talks of not enough foot fall in these police stations, well consider this, when reporting a crime at that paticular station, the doors are locked, no one can enter, there is a phone outside to phone emergency services so even if you wanted to put your foot inside a police station its locked.
Dear Boris stop selling off public buildings and leave the emergency services and their buildings in the hands of the community not the grubby, greedy, corporate mates from your private school.
If police stations are assumed by you to be supplus to requirements, well consider this, they belong to the community and the citizens that paid for them and they are the people whom decide what should be done to their resource, if its required to make these buildings sustainable by having community projects, developing community co-operation, intergenerational resource for people whom live in the area.
The emergency services are in place for a good reason, why close the infastructure that was originally designed to attend to the residents, Harringay hasn't become less populated and your intention in moving residents from West London to Harringay, there is going to be even more increase in population in the area, why take away emergency infastructure.
Stop the manipulation and stop with selling out to the rich, made rich by buying cut price public resources & sold at a heavy profit in turn exploiting the tax payer by charging over priced rents that people can't afford due to underpriced wages, therefore housing benefits having to pay landlords, the only people that benefit from housing benefit are the Landlords.
