Closed petition Halt the cuts to the Metropolitan Police budget

Closed on 27 April 2018

Having lost £600 million in real terms over the past 7 years, the Metropolitan Police face a further £400 million cut over the next 4 years.

70 per cent of all police spending in London comes from the Home Office, meaning that any change in that funding has a disproportionate effect.
