I’m Fizza Askari and I am standing for One Leicester to be your next Police & Crime Commissioner.

Full statement

For far too long, political priorities have been more important than fighting for resources to effectively keep our communities safe in Leicestershire.

We deserve better.

It’s time we send a message to the major political parties.

Enough is enough.

I’m proud to be One Leicester’s first candidate and to have a platform that voices the concerns of local people. We know from the events of the last few years that both Labour and the Conservatives do not listen.

I believe the people of Leicester, Leicestershire & Rutland should have a say in how their communities are policed and that’s why I’m standing.

As your next Police & Crime Commissioner I pledge to:

1. Have more police officers on the beat to help make our streets safe again



2. Rebuild community relations with the police based on mutual respect and understanding



3. Fight for more resources for crime prevention and increase Neighbourhood Watch schemes



4. Advocate for diverse representation within our police force



5. Improve transparency and accountability of policing in Leicestershire



We now have an opportunity to change our communities on Thursday 2nd May and I hope you will join me in taking a stand for local people.

Vote ONE LEICESTER, Vote ASKARI on Thursday 2nd May.
