Police and Crime Commissioner, Philip Wilkinson, is urging residents to have their say on proposals to increase the policing precept by £10 per year for the average household (band D).
This follows a recent police funding announcement from the Home Office which was based upon the assumption that all PCCs would seek to use the maximum flexibility afforded them by the Government to increase local precepts.
A £10 per year increase is a 4.3% increase and equates to an 83p rise, per month, per household, in a Band D property
The consultation is open until Wednesday 2 February and you can feedback via the online survey or by emailing PCC-Consultation@wiltshire.police.uk
