Mid-morning on BBC Radio Sussex – Sarah Gorrell 22/04/2021 – BBC Sounds

Catch up with Hustings yesterday on BBC Sussex Radio. Hear what 3 of the Police and Crime Commissioner candidates have to offer (Lib dem, Conservative and the Labour and Coop Candidate Paul Richards).

What concerns did listeners raise? Domestic violence, dog theft, more bobbies on the beat, on-line crime?

Hear what Paul Richards says on these issues.  “since 2008 there are 600 fewer police, and fewer police means more crime” “the best way to tackle crime is to prevent it”, “I’m offering more neighbourhood police teams closer to communities, more support for victims and for witnesses of crime”. I’m supporting a new victims law. Youth facilities have being closing down. “I’m offering more in in youth clubs and sports facilities”.
