Merton Police consultative committee chair

On Thursday night, Labour councillor Linda Kirby was re-elected Chair of the Police Consultative Committee over Conservative Cabinet member for Community Safety David Simpson. This is a post elected by community groups from across Merton and involved hustings were each candidate spoke for five minutes. Linda being re-elected to this post is testament to the work she has carried out in this area over the past few years along with the good relationship Merton Council has established with the Police over the past few years.
