CHESHIRE Police and Crime Commissioner Candidate John Dwyer (Conservative) has launched a major new consultation about local crime and policing issues. 
The survey is being sent to all the 233 Town and Parish Councils across Cheshire with each parish being given the opportunity to express their views and priorities.
John, a former Assistant Chief Constable of Cheshire, is using the survey as part of his research into the views of local people about their how they would like to see policing improved and crime reduced locally. Since being selected back in June John has been meeting numerous stakeholders and thousands of local people as he researches what the public want from their new Police and Crime Commissioner.
He said: “I am determined that the creation of this post will ensure that police priorities are the public’s priorities. This new role is designed to give people a visible and accountable champion for their views on local policing and crime and it is important that the Police and Crime Commissioner understands those views.”
“I have been visiting communities and interest groups across Cheshire so I understand what local people genuinely feel should be done. I believe that Parish and Town Councils are close to their communities and have a major role to play in informing the new Police and Crime Commissioner about what the priorities are in their patch.”
“If elected I would regularly consult with them, and I am starting that process now so that I am as informed as possible as I develop my own plans to reduce crime and improve policing in Cheshire.”
