Labour — Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 June 2025

Debate

Neighbourhood Policing

Contribution

My hon. Friend is right to welcome the additional neighbourhood police in Thurrock. She will know that that is part of 74 additional neighbourhood police officers across Essex just this year, as a result of our neighbourhood policing guarantee, and we will go beyond that. She is right, too, that local police who know what the problems are in Thurrock and across Essex are crucial to tackling local crime.
