The Liberal Democrat candidate for Police Commissioner, Pete Levy, launched his campaign in Bath on Saturday. The election will be held on November 15th and for the first time will give local people a say in how Avon and Somerset Police is run.

Pete met up with local councillor Nicholas Coombes to discuss the crime issues we face in Bathwick. High on Pete’s agenda is anti-social behaviour and better support for victims.

Pete said: “This is going to be a fight between me and the Conservative who cut PCSOs, cut community safety and ran Somerset Council into the ground. I know the people of Bath don’t want him to do the same to our Police force.”

Pete is former policeman himself so knows what it takes to do the job. Cllr Nicholas Coombes said “I’m really glad that Pete Levy is standing up for local communities against the Conservative. We need someone like him to make sure our police are able to continue to keep Bathwick safe.”
