Agenda item

The Panel considered a report of the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner which provided an update on press and social media coverage concerning the work of the Police and Crime commissioner since the previous meeting (for copy of report see file of Minutes).

Councillor R Potts noted negative comments and feedback as regards the precept received via social media.  The PCC noted that she was aware and added that Members would appreciate that many different views would come forward.  She explained that all views were important, and she would be cognisant of those views, however, some statements being made via social media were factually incorrect.  She noted that comments would be taken on board and she hoped that those commenting on social media would also take time to respond to the consultation and to respond on other issues through the proper mechanisms that were in place.

Resolved:

That the report be noted.
