Residents in Nottinghamshire are facing an increase in the amount they pay annually towards policing in the county and without it police officers could be axed.
A meeting of the Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Panel approved the additional precept, as it is known, which would mean an extra £6.66 a year for a Band A property, taking it up to £169.50, and £9.99 for a Band D property, making it £254.25 a year.
Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Commissioner Caroline Henry, who had to speak to the meeting virtually as she is isolating with Covid, sets the budget for Nottinghamshire Police and identifies its local priorities. Daily operational control lies with the chief constable, Craig Guildford.
