Since his election, Nick has held three public meetings involving the Basildon policing District Commander and the Community Safety Partnership, with the most recent one taking place on February 18, 2014.  A note of some of the issues raised at that meeting and the answers given can be seen here:  https://www.essex.pfcc.police.uk/2014/02/basildon-voices/  Nick said: “I’m a huge supporter of community radio stations, and Gateway 97.8 performs excellent work in keeping people in Basildon and the surrounding area aware of what’s going on and how they can get involved.”
