What's a Tory doing on a Lib Dem blog?

Well for those that don't know this is Roger Hirst. He's the police crime commissioner for Essex Police. 

For sometime there have been comments from residents about policing (or the apparent lack of it). So with this in mind I recently wrote to Roger's office asking if they were planning on visiting leafy Rayleigh anytime soon to answer our residents concerns.

If there is anything you would like to ask then please contact me here and I will pass your question to Mr Hirst.
