🤪 If you see a gritter out and about today, don’t worry we haven’t lost the plot. We’ve been spreading sand at a handful of locations where the road surface was getting too hot and looking like it might start to soften.

Have your say on the future of policing 👇 As your Police and Crime Commissioner for Hertfordshire, it’s important to me that your voice is heard before any changes are made to your local police service. The Government is proposing to merge police forces, which could mean that your local police force covers a much wider area than Hertfordshire, including neighbouring counties. The national review isn’t asking the public their views – so I am. Please take a few minutes to complete my short survey and share your views: tinyurl.com/3h5wf63k #Hertfordshire #Policing #HaveYourSay #CommunityVoice #LocalPolicing #HertsPCC #HertsPolice
