Liberal Democrats welcome the abolition of Police and Crime Commissioner

Liberal Democrats welcome the abolition of Police and Crime Commissioner. 

Councillor Henry Vann has welcomed the government’s decision to implement a Liberal Democrat manifesto commitment. 

The post of Bedfordshire PCC is forecast to cost £1.7m in future: money which is desperately needed for front-line policing. 

Councillor Vann, Bedford Borough’s Liberal Democrat mayoral candidate for 2027, said: 

‘Local councils can do the job of holding the police to account just as well – let’s stop wasting money and restore democracy.’
