Last week, I met with Rachel Swann, Chief Constable of Derbyshire Police, to discuss my priorities for the Bolsover Constituency.
I was very reassured that key issues such as anti-social behaviour, robberies and burglaries, and stalking are top of the agenda, as I know from speaking with residents and hearing views on local crime surveys that these are areas of concern.
I also welcome ambitions to increase police visibility. It’s essential that residents feel safe within their own homes and I am determined to work with all local partners to ensure our villages are free from crime and anti-social behaviour.
