Will the police precept increase this year?
The Police & Crime Commissioner has today begun a public consultation on the cost of policing in 2015-16.
He is considering an increase of £3.06 per year, or 6p per week, for the average home (Band D property). The increase is to help reduce the impact of significant central government grant reductions on policing and crime services in Wiltshire and Swindon.
The consultation is now open and runs until Wednesday 4th February 2015. He has approached every Wiltshire Area Board which is meeting during this period and asked for the opportunity to make a presentation about his proposal. A copy of this presentation is available on his website (www.wiltshire-pcc.gov.uk) along with further information.
I would encourage you to give your feedback on his proposal and to promote this consultation amongst your friends. Feedback can be given through his website or by following this link: http://www.wiltshire-pcc.gov.uk/Events-and-Engagement/Policeandcrimeelementofcounciltax2015-16.aspx.
