The Chancellor’s huge tax increases will cost Thames Valley Police £1.3m extra in Employers’ National Insurance Contributions.

Thames Valley Police and Crime Commissioner, Matthew Barber, has welcomed the start of a national Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Awareness Week which will be marked by a host of activity in the Thames Valley.

Thames Valley Police and partner agencies have launched Safer Langley, a collaborative initiative aimed at creating a safer, more resilient Langley by removing the harmful influence of organised crime.

A single shot was fired by the armed officer at King, hitting him in the abdomen. King was treated at the scene by officers before being taken to hospital.

Matthew Barber has criticised plans by the Lib Dem-run Oxfordshire County Council to cut street lighting across the county which pose a risk to both public safety and public confidence. 

I’m excited to launch a local Christmas card competition for all primary-aged children in the Thames Valley! I warmly invite children from primary schools and voluntary groups such as Brownies and Cubs, from across Thames Valley to unleash their creativity and design a festive card on the theme of Helping People At Christmas.

The winning design will be printed and sent out to people across the Thames Valley and beyond. The winner’s name and school will also be featured inside the card.

Please submit your creations on the entry form by noon on Friday 29th November.
