Harrow Council leader Paul Osborn called the decision to axe the volunteer-led front desk at Pinner Police Station "short-sighted", but the Met Police said that front counters were "not doing a massive amount" to keep Londoners safe. BBC Radio London's Ross Ryan unpacks the issue. (Image credit: Google)
