In reference to reducing numbers of Safer Neighbourhood sergeants, you said that it is 'necessary to streamline the management of some of the capital's smaller and quieter wards to improve performance'. In 2011-12 the Metropolitan Police are applying a reduction of around 25% of sergeants pro rata across London's boroughs, meaning half the wards in each borough will share a sergeant. Do you consider half of the wards in the following boroughs to be smaller and quieter, and if so can you tell me which wards match that description? Westminster, Camden, Islington, Tower Hamlets, Hammersmith & Fulham, Southwark, Hackney, Kensington...
