My vision for carbon-neutral policing across Hampshire: 

Yesterday (29th January), a budget paper was passed at Hampshire's Police & Crime Panel supporting a proposed £15 annual increase in council tax funding. 

Responding, I released a press statement, saying: "We live in a poorly funded area. Hampshire and the Isle of Wight police currently receive £43.5m less than the national average. We need a Police and Crime Commissioner who will fight for fairer funding for our communities.

Councillor Tim Groves is campaigning to address issues of crime and anti-social behaviour in Chandler’s Ford.

It was great to meet with the team working at Kings Arms in Petersfield – taking appropriate COVID precautions.

Providing support for young people is a crucial part of making stronger and safer communities.  The team provided a terrific briefing on the current challenges they face.

I met with campaigner Nick Stuart on a very rainy October day to discuss the importance of coordination between the island council and the police to improve road safety.
