The Mayor's plans to close 12 fire stations, which is more than one in ten of London's fire stations, have been strongly opposed by Liberal Democrats across London.
A petition to the Mayor against the closure of Downham fire station in south Lewisham has already gathered more than 4,300 signatures.
The petition, which has been organised by Lewisham Liberal Democrat councillors, was presented to Assembly Members Caroline Pidgeon and Stephen Knight by Councillors Chris Maines, Julia Fletcher and local campaigner Janet Hurst. The Lib Dem team have now presented this to the Mayor through the Fire Authority.
