I AM sure we were all concerned to read that, with others, councillor Barry Dare, Chair of Police Authority has become a victim of a cash machine scam.

He has now experienced the consequences of his misdirected force that has become ineffective in relation to crime.

Perhaps he will now join me and many others in pressing for a review of police priorities towards catching criminals as opposed to the present obsession with motorists and speed limits.
