It's bad enough that we have a man selected by so few of the electorate, and wanted by even fewer, having power over budgets and the Chief Constable.

Elected in November 2012 Commissar Lloyd fills his high command officer posts.
February 2013 Two, one of which is the most senior confidant, for no apparent reason sees fit to leave the lucrative £123K plus post........Why Mr. Lloyd why? What are you asking this person to do that they feel so vehermently opposed that resignation is the only option?
What a chaotic start no confidence in your abilities abound throughout the county I'm sure!
Public office comes with public accountability Mr. Lloyd. Some answers please. Do you have a press officer Mr. Lloyd? Might be a sensible move don't you think?

I didn't know the PCC had a deputy until she stood down, and I didn't know there was a Chief Executive until now. Did he have a deputy too? Do they all have PAs, secretaries, press officers, butlers....?

Shouldn't he just now go and let someone else have a go?

Every time I hear anything to do with our PCC it is negative.

if it's worth saying, it's worth saying twice!
I would actually say it's worth giving it a go with an elected PCC. Clearly it's going hopelessly at present, but that may be down to the incompetent incumbent (try saying that after a beer or two) and who is to say that another PCC might not have done a good job?

Why can't the Police be allowed to do their job without politicians sticking their noses in for cheap politic points?
I mean, just look at the salaries of these cretins.....while the poor, disabled and working class face huge cuts to what little benefits they get.
Can't wait to vote out this group of Tory posh rich kids!
