From Commissioner Nick Alston’s blog:
The next Police and Crime Commissioner public meeting discussing local crime and policing issues, will take place in Hockley on Thursday March 13, 2014.
Nick Alston said: ?We?ve had an excellent series of public meetings in all parts of Essex over the last fifteen months, and we?re looking to build on those events. I encourage everyone who lives in Rochford district to come along to our next event and raise the issues that matter to them.
–
?We provide the very latest crime figures at the meetings, publishing these on our website too. We also explore the facts and context around any crime trends, with briefings from the local Essex Police District Commander, Chief Inspector Ian Cummings, and the Community Safety Partnership. Everyone attending the meeting can put their questions directly to the police, the community safety team, and to me. I will also ask challenging questions of the police and council, as well as highlighting some of the excellent work that is taking place.

?If you care about keeping your community as safe as it can possibly be, please come along and get involved.?The next event is scheduled for:

Time: 18:00 to 20:00, Thursday March 13, 2014

Nick Alston adds: ?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.?
We hope that street lighting gets discussed..
I hope it is well attended and people find it informative. I enjoyed the one in Rayleigh late last year and also had Nick Alston along to a meeting for the parish and town councils in the district. We had a very interesting wide rangeing discussion. I am very much in favour of the fact he is making tackling domestic violence a priority.
