Lichfield and Burntwood residents can have their say on a range of policing issues as part of an online chat with Staffordshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner.

Matthew Ellis will be answering questions in a one-hour event on Monday (July 22).
The Let’s Talk Online initiative will run between 3.30pm and 4.30pm, with people able to follow and join in the discussion on LichfieldLive.
“Previous online chats proved very popular and left me with sore fingers from the typing but were thoroughly enjoyable and worthwhile,” said Commissioner Ellis. “This is a great opportunity to find out what people have to say about their experiences of policing and the criminal justice system.
“How can things be done better to make sure the system fits people rather than people having to fit the system? It’s not NHS, local authority, CPS or police money – it’s all public money. We must scrap solo thinking, work to common goals – spend better, achieve more.
“I want to hear people’s views on the Safer, Fairer United, Communities strategy which calls for a whole-system approach where public services work collaboratively to common agreed outcomes that make a difference to local people.”
For more details on the strategy, which is open for consultation until the end of August, visit www.staffordshire-pcc.gov.uk.
