The county council has paid tribute to a Chesham police officer who was killed in a motorbike crash this week.

PC Kevin Flint, a neighbourhood officer, died while he was travelling home from work on the northbound carriageway of the A41 near Berkhamstead.

Bucks county councillor and chairman of the Chesham and Chiltern Villages Local Area Forum, Noel Brown, said he was “deeply saddened” to hear the PC had died.

Cllr Brown said: “On behalf of everyone at Buckinghamshire County Council, can I convey our sincerest condolences to Kevin's family, colleagues and friends at this most difficult of times.

"I worked with Kevin on many occasions and was always impressed by his commitment to improving the links between the local community and the Police.

“He worked particularly closely with the Local Area Forum, local parish councils and other community groups and was hugely liked and respected. He will be hugely missed by everyone who knew him."

PC Flint’s personal motorbike crashed into a stationary vehicle on the northbound carriageway of the A41 just after 4pm on Tuesday.
