A London police inquiry has revealed Waltham Forest is under resourced by approximately 120 officers. That is why we are launching a campaign demanding the Tory Mayor of London gives Walthamstow its fair share of police. If you support this campaign then please sign our petition.

The scale of this support has secured a formal meeting with the borough commander next week. We are currently drafting a briefing document that outlines the discrepancy in officer allocation to present as our primary evidence.

Walthamstow is not safe anymore. We need more boots on the ground and we need them now. Boris doesnt care about us.

Used to be a lovely area but it feels like the wild west now. need more coppers patrolling the streets again.
