SIR – I read with interest D S Boyes’s letter (T&A, November 21).
I’m disappointed he feels so many are disillusioned with politics in the region.
The people have made their choice. The voices of those who have spoilt their ballot or stayed at home have also been heard, but I have been elected and I now need to strive, with the public’s help, to improve policing and tackle crime in West Yorkshire.
West Yorkshire has some real issues to tackle, like appointing a new Chief Constable, setting the budget and the Police and Crime Plan for 2013/14 and handling the £100m Government cuts being forced on our police service.
The decision has been made and I need to make sure, with the help of the public, the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner makes a difference across West Yorkshire.
Mark Burns-Williamson OBE, Police and Crime Commissioner for West Yorkshire
