CREWE residents are invited to have their say on a tax rise to help protect front-line policing.
David Keane, Cheshire Police and Crime Commissioner, launched the new county-wide consultation on Cheshire’s police precept on Tuesday. The results of could have significant ramifications for the force’s future.
Mr Keane is leading the consultation on the police precept – a key component of homeowners’ annual council tax bills – and is visiting communities across the region to gauge the views of residents and businesses on potential police precept increases.
The three-week consultation will see the Commissioner visit a number of locations across the county. He will be at The Market Centre, Crewe on Thursday, January 11 between 11am and 2pm.
Alternatively, residents and business owners can visit cheshire-pcc.gov.uk/ to have their say online.
The Commissioner will also be consulting with businesses based in the county separately, and there will be a supply of leaflets and questionnaires at police help desks should people not be able to attend the events or fill in the questionnaire online.
