Since 2010 the Government have cut the Metropolitan Police budget by almost £600m resulting in 5,585 fewer uniformed officers on the streets of London dedicated to neighbourhood teams.

Now the Mayor is considering plans to axe ALL of London's neighbourhood PCSOs in a bid to cut costs.

We the undersigned believe that the Mayor's plan to axe all of London's local PCSOs would decimate neighbourhood policing in the capital and would mean far fewer officers on the beat in our communities.

We believe the Mayor should abandon his plan to scrap London's PCSOs and consult local communities about the future of policing in the capital as opposed to doing it but stealth. We also call on the Mayor to oppose the Home Secretary's savage cuts to the Metropolitan Police.

We really need to keep the policing in Perivale. The area has got a lot worse in regards to anti social behaviour and the area feel very unsafe with drunk people on the roads and urinating. Especially around the Tesco area and by Busy Bess nursery path way

I live in Richmond and have found our local PCSO Jonathan Harrison extremely helpful in setting up our local neighbourhood watch group. We would all feel much less secure if we were to loose these friendly officers who provide a vital direct link to the police.

I am a vulnerable adult, single parent with a a school going child under 16 years, reducing the number of community policemen will be a big mistake which will greatly impact on humanity.... It's a life line that keeps/makes us feel safe.

PCSOs and current neighbourhood police teams are cost effective and efficient. By scrapping them our neighbourhood will revert back to the unpleasant antisocial behaviour and repeated low level crime we experienced 10 years ago prior to their introduction.

This would be such a backward step. Good PCSO's who know their patch are like bobbies on the beat. Gold dust. There must be other places to make the cuts. How many people's jobs would you just be stripping away from under them? Shocking.

Living in a London borough with the highest percentage of elderly residents it is important to keep an active police presence in the community
