A TOTAL of 256 people have so far signed a petition against a proposal to move police teams from Woodford Green.
Four Safer Neighbourhood Teams are set to relocate to Barkingside as part of a shake-up of police provision in the area to cut costs.
Campaigners are hoping to collect 1,000 signatures before a final decision is made by the Metropolitan Police Authority later this month.
A petition organised by councillors against the possible closure of Woodford Green Police station has been signed by 140 people.
The Met is currently reviewing its buildings and has not guaranteed the station’s future.
