On the 8th March the residents of York will have the chance to put their views on local crime directly to their MPs, Hugh Bayley and Julian Sturdy, as well as North Yorkshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner, Julia Mulligan.

Julia published her draft Police and Crime Plan on Monday 4 February, which started a six week consultation period with the public (until 18 March).

This public meeting, to be at the Guildhall in York, will start at 2.00pm. There will be a short presentation from Julia on the Plan, followed by an hour of questions from the public.

This will give York residents the chance to hear about the Plan from Julia personally, but also a unique opportunity to raise questions directly with the Commissioner and the city’s MPs.

Police and Crime Commissioner, Julia Mulligan, said, “This is a fantastic opportunity for the residents of York to feed back their concerns first hand. Each community has different needs, and it is vitally important that the Plan is representative of the county. I urge as many people to come and share their views as possible.”
