Both Forest Hill and Perry Vale currently only have a single PCSO each (Sydenham has 3). There may well be vacant positions in the teams, but I think it has been a while since there has been more than 1 PCSO in Forest Hill.

So if the proposal is to reduce other wards across London to only one PCSO, in line with Forest Hill and Perry Vale, I don't think we have a huge problem in our area, especially since the local teams seem to have more PCs than they have for a few years.

Axing all PCSO seems unlikely and is probably only being stated to make the final decision seem more palatable. No doubt a report in the next few weeks will be issued by the Met Police stating what an important job PCSOs do and why one is needed in every ward.

I certainly hope that we keep the PCSOs in the local area who do a good job and have good local knowledge.
