Police spending cuts consultation reveals anti-social behaviour worry


More than 30 people attended a public meeting to address police spending cuts following the government's comprehensive spending review.
The meeting, which took place at Caroline Chisholm School in Wootton on Tuesday night, saw residents raise concerns over anti-social behaviour.
Northamptonshire Police is carrying out a series of public consultations throughout the county ahead of next month's budget review.
Addressing Tuesday's meeting chief constable Adrian Lee insisted the number of frontline officers won't be cut.

But he did admit financial pressures would impact on some services.
Northamptonshire County Council chief executive Paul Blantern and leader Councillor Jim Harker also attended the event.
Draft budgets for both Northamptonshire Police and the council will be announced in December.
