CLA raises rural crime issues with Suffolk MP

CLA East Adviser Peter Ewin joined members at a meeting with Suffolk MP Nick Timothy to discuss concerns over rural crime.

It follows a series of incidents in the politicians constituency which left local residents disappointed with the police response.

Peter says it was a productive discussion. “Our members had some particular concerns which they raised with us and we were more than happy to support them on the matter.

“We have regular engagement with police forces across our region and we must ensure that rural crime remains a priority for them.

“In this instance, it was encouraging to see that our members’ MP was open to listening to their concerns and we will be following up with Nick on this, and other topics of importance to farmers and land managers.”
