LizzieM 9,507 Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 It sounds like you’re a fan of Mr Tipping. Is he visible to the public? Apart from the occasional waffle on EM News I’ve only seen him once and that was in a restaurant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,417 Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 I don't know whether he has reduced the cost of policing or not. If he has it seems it's at the expense of police effectiveness. There is also the perception he is little more than a rubber stamp for whatever type crime is flavour of the month. "Burglars? mmm yeah OK but we really need to concentrate on people calling each other nasty names" The cost and the reduction thereof should not be his priority, he should be focussed full time on reducing crime not playing footsy with the accountants. Like Sir Mayfield I did not approve of creating another quango. Had they said OK the Chief Constable is now an electable office 'ala American Sheriffs then I'd go for that.

philmayfield 6,134 Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 The problem is that the function and purpose of the crime commissioner is not well publicised and we don't know how to contact him or for what specific purposes can he help us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I guess he's as visible as you want him to be, on the Notts Police site. What issues would you want to take up with a PCC? CIearly some folk on here don't like the man or possibly his politics, don't seem to understand the role or indeed the system. There's plenty of information available, just have a look. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,134 Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 I think the fault lies in the lack of publicity of his role in that most of us don't know what he can do for us and how we can contact him. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

meeowed 314 Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 The fact he is on around £88000 is bad enough then there is around half a dozen of his cronies on around £60000 who take the flak for him when it all goes pear shaped Theres no wonder we are paying more and more for less police why would you want to discourage speeding when its such a major money earner Since the speed cameras were semi privatized they have been awash with money so much so that the police once got a percentage of the money raised but now it all goes direct to the treasury When the daily mail investigated the selling of of the speed camera network they were told that the cost of the set up and camera would be recovered within two hours of the camera becoming operational and what did the government do with all that money they made cuts to the police meeowed 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lets take the OLD WOMAN out of the blue rinse brigade maybe "Mature Lady " is better The Blue rinse was a water base colour and you could use it on ladies who had white hair. but a lot of young girls who had their bleached would have it on there fringes there was also a pink rinse you could have, if you look at a lot of young girls now quite a few have blue, green, red, pink, violet, and more colours in there hair. I don't think that we can class the blue rinse as things we don't see any more. What we don't see anymore are Finger waves, french rolls, cottage loaf, to name but a few hair styles, Nestle Permanent-waving machine you know the one chandelier type. This was fixed to the ceiling. Bottles of light ale in salons stock cupboard, (we use to set hair with IPA) lacquer not seen any more its all hair spray. Cubicles which we worked in and the large black/white telephone on the reception desk, I could go on and on but don't want to be a bore, 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
