Fund increase in police stations across England and Wales

Closed 416 signatures

What the petition asks

Towns/villages up and down the country need local police stations. It is a crime in itself that our Police Stations have been closed, sold and left empty whilst crime increases. This country and its Police Forces deserve to be able to work directly and locally with our communities.
Hundreds of people are killed on our streets every year, and the reduced police presence makes it harder to catch criminals. Having local police stations will show a presence and allow our Police Force to build better community relationships and give them a platform to police our streets directly. We would like work to start immediately on reopening local empty Police Stations and rebuilding the ones that have been sold off for development. We and our police deserve better.
