LANCASHIRE’S Police and Crime Commissioner, Clive Grunshaw, wants to hear residents’ views about crime and policing and has launched a survey asking people to tell him what issues are affecting them.

The survey, entitled 'Your Policing Priorities', is available online or from local libraries.

Clive Grunshaw said: “I came into this role to help make Lancashire a safer place. I can only do this with the help of local people highlighting issues and concerns, likes and dislikes in their neighbourhoods. If you think the police should focus on anti-social behaviour, vandalism, domestic violence, knife-crime, terrorism or any other issues, I want to hear about it.”

Community groups are also being urged to get involved to help make this survey available to everyone across Lancashire.

Mr Grunshaw added: “The Police and Crime Plan should reflect everyone's views, not just mine. The plan will set my objectives for the next three years, shaping the direction of policing in the county.”

To complete an online survey, go to http://bit.ly/Sz6Ub6 before January 11.

Well Clive start by lobbying the government against spending cuts. After having to slash their budget by 20%, following the autumn statement by Osbourne it would appear that Lancashire Police will have to find a further 1% in savings next year and 2% the year after. The math is simple, more spending cuts = less front line staff, which in turn = considerably reduced quality of service provided.

i have a bizzare idea, how about you do ONLY the police job and not your council job as well so we get a full service out of you rather than you having your snout in two trough's.

Well to be fair if he didn't do his councillors job he'd struggle to make ends meet on £85,000 a year.

With the cuts planned by the coalition, we could give you a wish list but in reality you will be unable to do much. I think a lobby of the government is in order not that I expect anything from this lot. I was against the post of commissionaire from the start, I could not make the maths add up and I suspect others won't either. pointless job really.

C'mon George White Bread & GAC - use your loaves a bit more !

As I understand it, he is giving the councillor roles up in May. (when there are County Council & some Borough Elections due). To do so beforehand would mean 2 x by-elections at a cost of about £20k.

So by not giving up his Council roles he'll actually save the taxpayer money.

Mr Grunshaw should of course read the "Strategic Threat assessment" document for Lancashire that sets out for example the criminality around Class A drug dealing, people trafficking, prostitution, grooming etc. This document also contains the details of the people and gangs involved in these crimes. In fact why does he not make this document available online for the people of Lancashire to read before they respond to his survey. After all knowledge is power.
