I have recently had interesting discussions about the Safer Streets funding in Trowbridge. I understand that the PCC has decided it will be spent on uniformed guards in Trowbridge Town Centre. I am also told that this is without any discussions with the local council. However, a PCC is elected to represent the communities of Wiltshire and to consult with local residents.
In Amesbury the Police have moved and will now respond from Tidworth. Again there has been little or no consultation, and no report to the Amesbury Town Council.
There are other ways to ensure safety, such as better CCTV and monitoring.
If I am elected PCC I will listen to what local councils and communities have to say about the issues in their area and then act upon it.
