Your chance to meet Avon and Somerset Police and Crime Commissioner Sue Mountsevens

POLICE and Crime Commissioner Sue Mountstevens is taking to the road to hear the views of the public.

Residents, community groups, businesses and victims of crime will all get the chance to have their say on the first locally-tailored Police and Crime Plans. 

Ms Mountstevens will be touring the six policing districts of Avon and Somerset Constabulary this month and next, to capture as many local views as possible. 

"It is really important residents tell me what is important to them so it becomes our Police and Crime Plan," she said. "Everybody who makes up Avon and Somerset, whether they live or work in the area, will all have a view. 

"I would particularly like to hear from the people that would not normally respond to surveys, the quiet voices, because policing and crime affects us all. 

"For the first time ever there will be a Police and Crime Plan for each of the six policing districts of Bath and North East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset, Somerset East, Somerset West, and South Gloucestershire. 

"Each plan will set out the vision for the local area following consultation with you. Policing and crime affects us all and only by working together and tackling the priorities that matter to you can we make Avon and Somerset be safe and feel safe."
