Saffron Walden Public Meeting – Monday, December 4, 2017

Saffron Walden residents will again have the chance to see Roger Hirst, the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Essex, when he returns to the area for another public meeting.

Roger Hirst, Police and Crime Commissioner for Essex, Jane Gardner, Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner for Essex and District Commander, Chief Inspector Craig Carrington.

Mr Hirst last visited Saffron Walden on Thursday, February 2 this year. Concerns were raised at that meeting about the police station moving to the Lodge and that there would be a lack of visible policing in the town.

The next meeting will take place on Monday, December 4, at the Town Hall in Market Square, Saffron Walden, from 6.30pm to 8pm.

Mr Hirst will be joined by Chief Inspector Craig Carrington from Essex Police plus representatives from the local Community Safety Partnership and Essex County Fire and Rescue Service.

Details of current crime trends and ongoing operations will be discussed at the meeting. Anybody going along will have the opportunity to put their questions and concerns to the panel.

Roger Hirst said: “At the last meeting it was clear that the residents of Saffron Walden had a number of concerns and wanted the raise them publicly. We will aim to give people an update on what we have done since then, and it will be good to hear their feedback and to find out how things are going in the area in relation to community safety.”
