Decision details

The Chair extended a warm welcome to the Police Commissioner.

A presentation was provided to the Council by the newly appointed Police and Crime Commissioner for North Wales, Mr. Winston Roddick, CB, QC, regarding his invitation to North Wales residents to share their views on local policing and crime.

Views expressed would be used in the development of a Police and Crime Plan that would set out a clear direction for the police service in North Wales over the next few years.

The Police Commissioner wanted this Plan to reflect the needs of the North Wales public and sought to obtain the views of the local community about policing matters concerning them.

Following the Commissioner’s address, the members of the Council were provided with a question and answer session with particular regards to problems being encountered on the Island. Mention was also made that consideration should be given to erecting a commemorative plaque at perhaps the new Llangefni Police Station for the late Dr.Tom Parry Jones of Menai Bridge, the inventor of the electronic breathalyser.

The Chair thanked the Commissioner for his address and on behalf of the Council wished him well in his new post and looked forward to further visits by the Commissioner during his term of office.
