Cllr. Tom Plater
It's Time to make Hertfordshire Safer.
The Conservatives have failed to tackle increasing antisocial behaviour and soaring retail crime. But I have a plan to crack down on crime in our county.
It’s time for change.
I'm Tom, Your Labour &
Co-operative Candidate for Hertfordshire PCC
I'm Hertfordshire born & bred. I grew up and went to school in Letchworth, and after training as a Musician in Manchester & London I'm now living in Stevenage, with my wife & baby daughter.
It was a few years ago, I witnessed a racially aggravated assault in Letchworth, and whilst the Police Officer who took my statement was brilliant, it raised some real issues about what our Constabulary's priorities should be.
Since then I've been working hard as a Local Councillor, School & NHS Trust Governor to serve my community, and if elected PCC I will do exactly the same for our residents in Hertfordshire.
We need a change in order to make our county safer, and Labour is the only Party who can offer real change across Hertfordshire.
I look forward to fighting for your every vote on May 2.
