There's too much danger on the streets to allow this.

The PCSO's have reduced unsociable behaviour and protected vulnerable young people on Chase Green. Do not cut this service which keeps our neighbourhood safe.

The PCSO system has proved a great success in our area. Around public areas and at safer neighbourhood meetings and Community Action Police Engagement. We need them very badly and everyone likes them. An asset to the police and the community.

I see the government and the police chief taking the country into the dark ages. They are making things nice for the wealthy at the expense of the poor. Let's our voices do the work. Down to the heartless!!!

I deserve to live in peace, in my own home and neighbourhood, as do my friends and family. Hence I strongly feel that not only should cuts not be made in the work that the police do, but we need to improve the existing service, to ensure that we can all live our lives without fear of being attacked, raped, or killed.

We need more police on the beat not less.

They are a great asset to the community , doing a fabulous job and playing a vital role with the reduction of crimes.

My local PCSO has helped with many issues that any other PC does not have time for. After all the time I have known them, it would be such a shame to lose the only person I really trust to help me

There's been too many cuts already.

We desperately need these neighbourhood police - this is not an area that needs funding cuts.

Having been a victim of crime in Greater London four times, my faith in the regular police is very lowliest the PCSO's that I have met have all been exemplary in helping, advising and guiding. Perhaps it is an opportunity to cull some of the useless police rather than the much more useful and visible PCSO's

Seems ridiculous to think you'd remove these people

I truly believe we need an increase of pscos and our police force - crime will be on the increase with the influx of immigration, unfortunately, people who become desperate will do anything to survive, regardless of the crime! "Mark my words"

I'm a Neighbourhood Watch coordinator for my Road, I know how difficult it will be to carry on without support from PCSO's

Local PCO's in Hornchurch have given us a sense of safety; they are a visible presence around the area and as such are a deterrent.

It is in my best interest to have any line of the police on our streets. I used to be a youth worker in Enfield and used to attend weekly / monthly meetings with the local police and an fully aware of the issue's in our neighbourhood. We pay enough tax in this country and work hard for what is ours such as our house/ cars / possessions we already feel unsafe in our neighbourhood and worry our property could be burgled also to stop our children from playing outside.. my point is this country isn't how it used to be is very dangerous nowadays and least have the police on our streets to make us feel a little safe. I see alot of crime around and I get so angry how there is never police around to see crimes commented. Put our officers back on our streets so we and our children could feel safe... what could be more important than paying police to safeguard us. Im a person who would be the first to call 101 or 999 if I saw a crime or someone being suspicious in our streets as I have my best interest for the safety of the people around me.
