Police in Sutton are more likely to answer the phone than elsewhere in London, according to research released last week.

Two stations in the borough - Sutton and Wallington - answered the phone within 16 seconds when London Assembly Liberal Democrats did a survey to find out how quickly police respond to non-emergency calls.

No one picked up the phone at Worcester Park Station, but Sutton's performance was better than most other London boroughs.

There was no answer at all three stations in Merton while five out of the six Wandsworth stations did not respond.
