Illegal use of e-scooters raised at PFCC public meeting for Castle Point district

The illegal use of e-scooters, anti-social behaviour and island evacuation plans in the event of an emergency were among the topics raised at the PFCC Castle Point district public meeting on Monday 8th June.

The meeting was held at Smallgains Hall, Creek Road, on Canvey Island.

Answering questions from the public were Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Roger Hirst MBE, joined by district commander Chief Inspector Ganesh Rasaratnam of Essex Police and ECFRS Group Manager Dave Walpole.

Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner, Roger Hirst said: “Being able to hear directly from local communities is invaluable in better understanding concerns and ensure we are working together to make Essex a safer place.”

The PFCC Essex hosts a public meeting once a year in each of the 14 districts of Essex, allowing residents to raise community safety matters directly with the panel. This is part of the ongoing PFCC Essex engagement schedule which has directly engaged with more than 2,000 Essex residents in the past 12 months.

The next public meeting is the PFCC Essex Public Meeting for Maldon District which will be taking place in the Conference Room, Maldon Town Hall, High Street, Maldon, from 7pm to 8pm on Thursday 25th June.
