On 29 April 2025, Commander Owain Richards, in his capacity as the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) lead for Royal Parks, provided an update on the future of how policing of Royal Parks across London will look going forward. As you may be aware, MPS is facing a £260 million funding gap. MPS has been working closely with The Royal Parks to understand their concerns and work with them to agree how the Royal Parks can be policed in light of these budgetary challenges. MPS has decided to no longer have a dedicated Royal Parks policing team, and will transition to a new policing model effective 1 November 2025. MPS will continue to respond to emergencies, patrol, support events and maintain relationships with partners and stakeholders - however, this will be undertaken by local neighbourhood teams rather than a dedicated unit. More detail can be found in the attached file.

In West Greenwich, feedback sessions are talking place on Tuesday 20 May and Wednesday 21 May. They will be conducted 7-8:30pm at West Greenwich Art Centre, 141 Greenwich High Road, SE10 8JL.
