Since the closure of the police station on Fulham Road in June 2016 the level of crime in the Fulham/ Parsons Green has noticeably increased. In particular, there has been an increase in residential burglary and mugging including using a motor cycle. During a recent burglary the police were called whilst the crime was being committed and it took them 25 minutes to arrive at the scene by which time the criminals had left. The police officers said they had had to come from Chiswick, hence the delay. It is not acceptable that there is no local police station to properly respond to crime in a more timely fashion. Local residents feel highly vulnerable at present and high profile incidents in Parsons Green recently including the tube bombing and the triple stabbing at the tube station have only increased the anxiety of local residents. The police need to restore a proper presence to the area.
