**IN ORDER to gauge the opinions** of Sussex residents on a possible further precept increase, Police and Crime Commissioner Katy Bourne has decided to run a further consultation.

**For further information about this consultation, and further information on the police precept and police budget, [click here:](http://www.sussex-pcc.gov.uk/public-consultations/?ref=scenemag.co.uk)**

**Simon Kirby said:** *“I welcome this consultation as I believe that it is important for the public to have their say on important matters such as how much they pay on their Council Tax. I am always conscious that for many people, Council Tax will be the highest bill they get (after mortgage/rent) and am therefore keen to see Council Tax frozen for residents.*

*“I would like to encourage residents to take the time to complete this consultation, and to share their opinions on this important matter.”*
