The Police and Crime Commissioner Julia Mulligan is consulting on a plan to increase the bill for crime control by 1.99%.
That is the maximum allowed by the government without support from taxpayers.
She says that the increase is necessary to retain the present number of police officers (although separately the Chief Constable has claimed that crime levels in the City are continuing to reduce).

Separately the Commissioner has cancelled attendance at a meeting in York scheduled for 10th February when she was to have attended a “scrutiny” meeting at West Offices.
Concerns remain in York about the high levels of social crime in parts of York.
Recent media reports have concentrated on late night noise and alcohol fuelled anti social behaviour problems particularly in the City centre.
These are areas where the York Council and Police Commissioner should be working together to effect improvements.
The Crime Commissioner is currently not planning to hold any “surgeries” in York before the end of March.
