Police and crime commissioners to be abolished, government to announce

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c93d4dd3l3lo

Yes yes yes
One of this governments better decisions

[BikeBikeBIke]

Yeah, good decision. The councils can handle this.

Well, a stopped Labour clock is right twice a day, but I welcome this news. PCC's are a pointless added layer of officialdom that nobody will miss when they're gone. See also NHS England.

Oh, and where I live, there's a pointless Town Council. That can go too.

I have to agree.

[markh1973]

Will be interesting to see if any politicians disagree with this move - other than the PCCs themselves.

We (Norfolk & Suffolk) are getting a new mayor...

[ATG]

Really good decision.

[Countdown]

Sadly there will be a shedload of redeployments and redundancy payments.

Also they will still need to re-create the Police Authorities (or some Body) to hold the Police accountable

[Hippea]

Great decision, sure this won't get the good press it deserves though

[Tankrizzo]

Yesssss, finally getting shot of the useless Donna Jones in Hampshire.

[Gareth79]

Excellent news, I have been saying for a while that the PCCs are a failed experiment. Many of them were failed politicians, given the job as a consolation prize by parties.

Bad news though, she's selected as Conservative candidate for Mayor of Hampshire and Solent, which I assume she will get. She will oversee policing from there.

They'll be taking over from the PCCs. Lose/Lose.

Will anyone notice when they have gone?

They're replacing it with other useless ste that will inevitably cost more and somehow achieve even less.
