Sir Clive Loader, Conservative, Suleman Nagdi Independent
Sarah Russell Labour and Mrs Green Editor Rutland and Rutland
and Stamford Mercury.
Suleman Nagdi MBE
A very good candidate for Leicester, not a clue about Rutland issues and he admitted this. A lot of mentions about police stop and search.
He spoke about his about community and his experience of building bridges.
he said he has been a critic of the police on many levels and also praised them
Sir Clive Loader
A business like personality, said he was approached by the Tories to stand for them. A mistake in my view.
he went on to say he would be impartial and non political, A member of the public raised this issue.
I question why would a political party support a candidate if they don't want anything in return?
Sir Clive spent night on the town and understand why his son enjoyed Leicestershire University
Sir Clive Loader any fool can spend money. He would keep the police precept down
Sir Clive Loader Tory acknowledges resources are thin
Sarah Russelll Labour
She is also a City Councillor in Leicester and the Deputy Mayor. Comes across as a nice person.
Sarah Russell does not think the expensive role is a good one but rather than stand on the sidelines she decided to stand.
Sarah Russell lists her experience working on partnerships working with police
Sarah Russell from Lake District but loves Leicester and wants to help make others lives better
I concluded that all three candidates had one or two relevant skills. Despite this I don't think any of them
have the skills or experience to takeon such a huge responsibility.
They mentioned themselves this job covers a area that is currently covered by ten MP's
Chief Inspector Mark Thomson was present
along with a lot of other police personnel
Mrs Green Editor of The Rutland Times and Rutland and Stanford Mercury
Very nice lady who seemed to lack experience when it came to chairing skills.
the local police inspector Kam Mystery at one point interrupted the meeting and miss the point of a question
and became very defensive. As chair she did not challenge him.
the meeting was also interrupted by the Tory campaign manager who just want to clarify a few points.
A member of the public accused her of sitting in the Tory pockets.
I think she should have kicked both men out :-)
