“I offer my warmest congratulations to Alan Billings on his election as Police and Crime Commissioner. I was involved in the campaign at the start when Alan decided to take on a strategy like Northumbria’s Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy, with special emphasis on the abuse of young people.
“Ed Miliband, Alan and I had a very informative visit to Doncaster Women’s Aid. I know that Alan will do this job well and without fear. He has committed to delivering on his promises and I look forward to working with him on policy that will help reduce crime for all our communities.”
