14 October (Part 2) - Panel beating
This extract from
the Conservative’s latest
by-election leaflet attracted the attention of a long term Police Panel Member. He says that the Panels already
exist in every ward and asks why Christine Bishop doesn’t know.
The Panels work alongside the separate Neighbourhood Watch organisation to help
the police determine what their priorities should be.
The quarterly meeting sets three objectives, one chosen by the police
and two more from Panel Members.
Why didn’t Christine Bishop know that Panels are an existing thing or is it a
simple promise
easily fulfilled? A bit like Bexley Tories
claiming to have fulfilled every
Manifesto promise since 2006.
Unfortunately a search of the
Belvedere ward police website does not reveal anything interesting.
Maybe the Belvedere Panel has gone AWOL and there is a job for Christine to do
after all?
