Stephen Metcalfe, local MP for South Basildon and East Thurrock, recently met with Borough Commander Glen Pavelin to discuss crime in Basildon and Thurrock.
Mr Metcalfe, who meets regularly with the police, took the opportunity to discuss local crime issues and how these may be tackled in light of the recent Police and Crime Commissioner elections in which Conservative Candidate Nick Alston was elected.
Mr Metcalfe commented: “Meeting with the Police on a regular basis is extremely important. They are able to update me on local issues and it provides an opportunity for us to work together to find solutions to local problems.”
“I am looking forward to working with Nick Alston in conjunction with District Commander Glen Pavelin to further drive down crime in South Basildon and East Thurrock.”
“I would like to thank the Police for their hard work and dedication in driving crime down under difficult circumstances and I will do all I can to support them as they continue to make our streets safer.”
