Cllr Davies “The chair [of the report] has noted our progress particularly since 2016…dedicated and professional teams in place”, but ‘We fully accept, and will act on all the inquiries recommendations in full.”

Cllr Davies went on to announce that he would be meeting up with the leaders of the other political groups and the PCC to work together and take the recommendations forward.

  • Too little too late, by their own admission it’s been happening for decades and is most likely still happening. Hardly any of the perpetrators are behind bars and all the victims and the community get is an apology.

    Rotten.

  • Take recommendations? He never has before, why so keen now? Typical BS from a lying sack of you know what. His next meeting should be at the DSS looking for a new job. Not that the useless oaf is good at anything, other than professional con man
