Matthew Ellis discussed his proposals at the Police, Fire and Crime Panel yesterday (1st February) for the amount to be paid locally towards policing.
The group agreed the proposal for a 5.99% rise in the precept, which equates to 26p a week or £13.48 a year for a typical Band D property towards policing.
