More time to give #yourviews on paying for policing

You now have more time to take part in a survey being run by Roger Hirst, the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Essex.

Mr Hirst wants to know if you would be willing to pay more Council Tax to increase levels of policing in Essex. The online survey, available here http://surveys.essexinsight.org.uk/policeprecept was due to end on Sunday evening but now the date for responses has been extended until midnight on Thursday, November 23.

Mr Hirst said: “There has been a great response to the survey so far with more than 3,000 people giving their views. I have been asked to extend the date so more people can fill the survey in so we are meeting that request.”
