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.
