New Commissioner Pledges To Improve Rural Policing Across Harborough

Leicestershire’s new Police and Crime Commissioner is pledging to improve rural policing across Harborough.

Conservative Rupert Matthews is drawing up his Policing Plan for the next three years, after being elected with a majority of over 33,000.

He wants tackling issues like hare coursing, farm burglary and the theft of lead from church roofs to be treated as a priority and to ensure officers are doing everything possible to deal with anti-social behaviour, which has been a big issue locally in recent months.

Mr Matthews spoke to Hfm’s Nick Shaw:
