Oakham Town Councillors and Rutland County Council in my opinion spend far to much time holding private meetings with senior officers from Leicestershire Police. A lot of that time I learnt, is used to glean information and gossip.
Other councils hold such meetings in public.
In June Market Rasen Council meeting was attended by
Inspector Simon Outen from Lincolnshire Police
The Chairman of the Council welcomed Inspector Outen to the meeting.
Inspector Outen gave an overview on the vision of policing in Market Rasen.
The Council expressed their concerns regarding policing in the area.
Inspector Outen explained that the Police rely on the community to help target issues in the area. It was reported that crime in Market Rasen is on the slight increase but this is gradually going down. Crime in this area is in reality low.
The Council asked if the Council can be consulted over incidents and individuals.
Inspector Outen explained that consulting with councils does not form part of their role or act.
Either the Councillors and Executive of Market Rasen are as nosy as ours or they just wanted to be kept in the loop regarding Former Market Rasen councillor David Strachan, who has just been sent to prison, for his part in a massive fuel duty fraud.
