Harrogate town centre was flooded with uniformed police officers on Thursday, August 26. Why?
Most people in Harrogate never see a police officer until days after an offence has been committed.
He or she leaves a crime number then off they go. I spoke to several people in the town centre on Thursday morning and all agreed that it was a waste of our money.
Is this how our police precept is been spent? If this is the case I intend to withhold my police precept.
In fact I intend to stand in the county council elections in May on the platform of "withholding the police precept".
