Notting Hill police station to be closed and sold

Notting Hill police station is to be closed and sold, unless an ongoing consultation about proposed cost cutting solutions for the Met results in a different solution. If it happens, Kensington police station will be the only police station in Kensington and Chelsea. A doubling of ward dedicated officers and better online services are to make up for the loss.

The week that was: 17 July – 23 July

The fifth full week after the Grenfell Tower disaster was dominated by the first full council meeting since the fire, where the agenda was pushed aside and residents from North Kensington were given a platform to vent their anger and demand changes to the council’s way of dealing with them. The council agreed to all motions put forward by the opposition and the new council leader promised radical change.
