I was pleased to speak in the Policing and Crime Debate and champion the need to combat organised rural crime and fly tipping on behalf of our areas’ more than 150 villages.
I highlighted to the Chamber the huge economic and mental health impact of organised rural crime particularly on farmers, who not only have to replace hugely expensive equipment, but deal with both their home and businesses being broken into.
I called for enhanced work in tracking and identifying the organised crime networks responsible for many thefts locally to ensure residents are getting the most out of their police – and prove the organised nature of local rural crime
