25 June 2014 PCC and Chief Constable on tour in east of county Suffolk’s PCC Tim Passmore and the Chief Constable, Douglas Paxton have embarked on a series of public meetings and roadshows to hear first-hand your views of policing in the area, The next public meeting will be held at Market Hall, High Street, Saxmundham, on Monday 21 July 2014 at 6.30pm and a more informal event, where the Chief Constable and PCC meet members of the public in the county’s high streets, will take place on Friday 25 July opposite the Britten Centre in Lowestoft’s London Road North. These events are an opportunity for the public to ask questions of the Commissioner and the Chief Constable and to discuss policing issues with them directly.. Tim Passmore said: “Having direct contact with the people of Suffolk that I represent is extremely important to me. “I make myself available to anyone who needs to speak to me through one-to-one surgeries or via e-mail and on the phone, but it is equally important to have these opportunities for people to just turn up and have a conversation with us. “I do hope people will accept this invite to come and find out more about policing. Douglas Paxton, the Chief Constable, and I will be pleased to discuss any matter that arises. “Public engagement is a key responsibility for every PCC and covering such a large geographical area, this is quite a challenge so we have set up meetings and roadshows in each district and borough.” There will be a meeting in each of the seven district and borough areas at: SUFFOLK COASTAL: Market Hall, High Street, Saxmundham, IP17 1AF – Monday 21 July 2014 MID SUFFOLK: Limes Hotel, 99 High Street, Needham Market, IP6 8DQ – Wednesday 3 September 2014 WAVENEY: East Point Academy, Kirkley Run, Lowestoft, NR33 0UQ – Monday 22 September 2014 IPSWICH: St John’s Church, Cauldwell Hall Road, Ipswich, IP4 4QE – Monday 13 October 2014 BABERGH: Meeting held in East Bergholt on Wednesday 9 April 2014 – Meeting notes ST EDMUNDSBURY: Meeting held in Haverhill on Wednesday 7 May 2014 – Meeting notes FOREST HEATH: Meeting held in Brandon on 19 June 2014 – Meeting notes All meetings start at 6.30pm.
