UK abolishes PCC roles with no consultation, sparking criticism over lost local accountability and questionable savings.
Wiltshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner, Philip Wilkinson, condemned the UK government’s sudden abolition of the PCC role, citing only an hour’s notice and lack of consultation.
He called the move a top-down power grab, arguing PCCs delivered value by securing more funding than they cost and maintaining Wiltshire’s status as one of the UK’s safest counties despite low per-capita police funding.
Wilkinson criticized the shift to regional mayors as ideologically driven and damaging to local accountability, disputing the government’s claim of £100 million in savings for frontline policing.
He vowed to continue serving the public during the transition, expressing concern over the impact on policing and transparency.
