THERE is still time to have your say in what Cumbria Constabulary’s and Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service’s priorities should be for the next four years.

Cumbria’s police, fire, and crime commissioner, David Allen, wants Cumbrian residents to share their views through his public consultation.

The consultation results will assist with the development of the police, fire, and crime plan for the next four years.

The plan sets out the aims that the Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Service will prioritise based on what the public would like to see from their services and will be used by the commissioner to hold the chief constable and chief fire officer to account.

Cumbria’s police, fire and crime commissioner, David Allen, said: “We are now halfway through the consultation period, and I am asking any resident that hasn’t taken part to do so.

“I also want to thank those who have already taken part in the consultation – I really appreciate everyone that has taken the time to think about our services here in the county and what they want to see from Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service and Cumbria Constabulary.

“As commissioner, I am responsible for producing a Police, Fire, and Crime Plan that sets out the priorities for both services over the next four years.

“The Plan is built around the views of residents therefore I really want to hear from you. What do you want in the plan? what do you want us to concentrate on? what is important to you in the area where you live and work?

“In my role, I am the voice of Cumbrian residents in respect of policing and fire, and I want to know what you think about Cumbria Police and Cumbria Fire & Rescue Services and if you have any concerns or issues.

“By taking part in this survey, you are helping me to develop the priorities and objectives I set out in my new Plan, and by which I can then hold the Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Service to account."
