I still think that Police Commissioners are deeply flawed and (therefore) that having police boards as proposed shouldn't be needed. I also think that we would be better off having a Cornish Constabulary rather than a Devon and Cornwall one.<br />All that having been said, the proposal that was going through as part of the Bill was for a Police Board of 12 councillors with just a single rep from Cornwall. We have now got recognition from the Government that this is unfair. We haven't yet seen the full final proposal, but it will be better. <br />Was it me that changed the Government's mind? Almost certainly not. But I took the chance to lobby a Government minister when one was in front of me and we have now seen change (so maybe, just maybe, I had some effect).<br />AlexAlex Folkeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11935545078513255086noreply@blogger.com
