Riders urged to vote in Police and Crime Commissioners elections

With elections for Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) taking place in England and Wales on Thursday 15 November, riders are being reminded to “get out and vote” to ensure candidates sympathetic to rural crime are returned.

George Bowyer of pro-repeal lobby group Vote-OK has said of the elections: “We don’t want people who spend all the money on the big city in their patch and don’t understand the irritation of having your tack or your diesel stolen.”
