Police Cash Cut Confirmed

Andrew Stunell talking to a police manStunell slams £13.5 million cuts to Greater Manchester Police

Greater Manchester Police face a second year of cuts following the Government's grant announcement, according to Andrew Stunell, Liberal Democrat MP for Hazel Grove.

Mr Stunell said:

"This year's funding settlement is well below what the Police need to keep services going. It is yet another slap in the face for Greater Manchester's hardworking police force.

"The government have under funded our local police service year on year, and the latest £13.5 million budget gap will mean that funding for Police Community Support Officers, road policing and witness support will be slashed.

"At the same time, the government has the cheek to channel even more money down to the London Met. London has a population of 7 million and will receive £20 million for community policing. Yet Greater Manchester, with a population of 2 ½ million will only receive £1 million. It is time for the Government to treat us more fairly."

    If you are a resident of the Hazel Grove constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
