Parks Police

I am grateful to Lord Tope for keeping me bried on this issue having raised a few points at Police Consultative Committee about it.

I am not against the transfer of responsibility and see some advantages. However my point is that it should not have been done through the Council budget process and seen as a saving.

As I undertsand it the new arrangment may be for two years, so the next issue is one of sustainability ans to ensure Parks Policing is seen as a mainstream activity that should be continuously funded.
