People in Fakenham have been offered the chance to speak with the county’s police and crime commissioner at an event this week.

Members of the public are being invited to join Giles Orpen-Smellie, the county's police and crime commissioner (PCC), at Fakenham Library on Thursday (January 12). 

His visit coincides with the ongoing police budget consultation. 

From 10am to 1pm, people can hear the PCC discuss the challenges and pressures facing police across the county, before being given the chance to ask questions. 

The event is one of a series of similar engagement meetings set to take place across Norfolk, and will be Mr Orpen-Smellie's third stop.

He has already visited both Dereham and Thetford, and will also host similar events in Swaffham, Diss and Wymondham.

The PCC has previously pledged to give Norfolk residents more opportunities to put their own questions to those in charge of policing across the county.
