Cllr Mathew Hulbert (Libdem) for Redhall Ward Barwell Parish Council and As Independent Chair of the @leicspolice #LGBT+ Advisory Group Raised Concern about Leicestershire PCC Tweet.

Mathew is very concerned indeed by this tweet put out by the new LLR Police and Crime Commissioner.

Leicestershire PCC  @LeicsPCC tweeted:
