I can understand to a certain degree the ‘apathy’ at elections. Tomorrow ‘we’ in Whittlesey get the opportunity to vote and elect a ‘new’ Police & Crime Commissioner.
At the previous election less than 20% turned out to vote.
‘People/Public’ are quick to complain and of course if asked ‘did you’ vote – they ALL did!
The PCC’s role is mainly to ‘hold’ the Chief Constable to account, the PCC sets the budget and the local tax we pay.
In fairness – I had the opportunity to meet Sir Graham Bright on many occasions and ask questions, I also attend meetings where his deputy or Press Officer attend.
He has tried to employ a ‘Liaison Assistant’ although none seemed to last very long.
Tomorrow if you have not done so by post – is YOUR opportunity to vote for a candidate.
After reading all (4) candidates promo material…..they are ALL making lots of promises!
This important position has unfortunately become ‘Politically biased’ – it should never have been like this – but there we are…..politicians !
