These are important events for everyone who cares about the way their community is policed and who wants to know the facts about crime in their area. Meetings have already taken place in Southend-on-Sea, Basildon, Chelmsford, Dunmow, Rochford, Colchester, Brentwood, Maldon, Epping and Harlow, and the next events are scheduled for: Castle Point: Time: 16:00 to 18:00, Thursday June 27 Location: Hadleigh Old Fire Station, High Street, Hadleigh, SS7 2PA Tendring: Time: 17:00 to 19:00, Thursday July 4 Location: Prince’s Theatre, Town Hall, Station Road, Clacton CO15 1SE Nick Alston said: “It is important that crime continues to fall in Essex – that we have fewer victims of crime and fewer people living in fear of crime. I am committed to the principle of local solutions for local problems, and to ensuring that police, partner agencies, the voluntary sector and residents work together as closely as possible to keep our communities safe. “Each meeting will be two hours long. We’d love people to attend all the meeting, but if you can only make part of it, please still come along. I want your views to be part of the debate about how we can best keep the streets and countryside of Essex safe.” News alerts will usually be tweeted via the Essex PCC Twitter account: https://twitter.com/essexpcc
