£5K deposit sorted today by Scunthorpe contender to be Humberside Police and Crime Commissioner
Neil Eyre, an ex-soldier from Scunthorpe, feels he has exceeded all expectations by today submitting the deposit of £5,000 allowing him to stand to become Humberside's first Police and Crime Commissioner.
This is due to the generosity of family, friends and neighbours who all want to see a member of the community succeed in running the police service not for the benefit of political parties but for the communities it serves.

Candidate Neil Eyre outside Scunthorpe police station in Corporation Road
Neil is of the opinion that the Humberside police service should not become an instrument of any given political party, and as such is standing on the ticket of Keep Politics Out Of Policing.
He says: "I think that it is grossly unfair on the public that they should be given a choice between a politician whose party has wasted billions of pounds in failed policies, and a politican whose party is cutting public services and police staff numbers to the level they are."

"I am just a 'normal person', I live in Frodingham in Scunthorpe, I see the effect of government strategy every day as most residents in North Lincolnshire do.
"The candidates from the mainstream political parties do not live in the real world as we do, and it is this reason which has motivated me to stand.
"Politicians of all parties are so distrusted by the public now that I feel that policing is far too sensitive a subject to allow them to get their hands on.
"I promise that I will do everything I can to prevent cuts to frontline police numbers and to ensure that as Police and Crime Commissioner for Humberside I am truly apolitical.
"A member of a political party is always, first and foremost, going to represent the views of their party. I want to represent the views of the residents of Humberside."
If elected, Neil plans to consult further with the public on what they want from their police service and to protect frontline services.
He would introduce more community focus groups to give the public a greater say in how policing in their neighbourhood is handled.
He would involve police officers "on the ground" in setting strategy and objectives.
Neil's policies include:
- Not taking any expenses or pension contributions
- Not accepting any reduction in police numbers
- To refuse gifts, favours or "re-election" donations from Lobbyists
- To provide targeted assistance to the victims of crime
- To work and co-operate openly with all levels of VCS
- To provide monthly service reports
- To conduct a review of all outsourcing contracts
- To Cut funding to outreach programs for habitual criminals
- To follow a philosophy of evidence based policing
- To build partnerships with other PCCs
- To use to opinion and expertise of rank and file police officers in policy making
"I urge you not to think like that. Don't fall for this type of establishment spin. If you really do want a PCC with no ties to political parties and no ties to the establishment, then a vote for me is your best option."
The election will be held on November 15.

“So the show went true to form. Prescott having a pop at UKIP and generally being arrogant with everyone; UKIP having a pop at Prescott; Tories talking about their cuts as positively as possible. Then most of them quoting meaningless and contradictory statistics. The games have truly begun. You keep staying out of it Neil. (And the same to Paul Donaldson) Your policies are pretty clear in this article for those that want to read them or research more.
As to the T-shirt comments; I didn't realise that people in Scunthorpe were so fashion conscious and that it made such a difference to who they would vote for...”

“@HattyTood- I think nev has got a little confused due to the fact John Entwistle is said to have wrote the 'Uncle Ernie' song in Tommy and not the member of the band who was doing reserch for his book.”

"His presentation is a worry. The band ''The Who'' has a convicted child sex offender as a bass player.
really ?
John Entwistle died in 2002 so it's not him.
Pino Paladino . . well maybe, but I've heard nothing about him being involved in that sort of stuff
Are you sure it's the bass player ? I'd check that one if I were you, just in case a libel case comes back to bite you”

“Well having just seen the debate Neil failed to use his time to really show us what he plans to do or what his opinions are. His one sentence answers ended up been just him agreeing with the interviewers question. So I learned nothing about him other than he thinks wearing a T-shirt is showing him to be 'common man/outsider' and will get him votes.
The debate did however confirm the UKIP guy is pompous idiot and Prescott doesn't like the guy. The one candidate in the debate who did shine was the ex Policeman.”

“What is concerning is that you have to drum up five grand to participate. This is out of the reach of many. Therefore they have no part in it. Whats wrong with a concerned mother from Westcliff for example being able to throw her hat into the ring.”

“His presentation is a worry. The band ''The Who'' has a convicted child sex offender as a bass player. And he looks like mister Garrison. I'd like to see him with a glove puppet. I think he's introduce a sexual harrassment panda and a racism rhinoceros to police the streets.”

“And Anotherthing!
Surely it's no wonder Prescott is lining himself for this hugely responsible AND LUCRATIVE job. Particualrly given he has some acquaintance with the workings of the Police Service!!
On several occasions the constabulary have had cause to aprehend him as he drove around the country at terrifying speed, presumably in one or other of his 2 Jags!!
Prescott has been fined for speeding 4 times, AND in 1991 was banned from driving for 21 days after Police clocked his speed at 105 mph on the M1.
On the M62 he was caught for driving at 80 mph in icy conditions in which the Police recommended a maximum of 30 mph!! (And this buffoon has the audacity to put himself up as our Police and Crime Commissioner!!??)
That was in 1997-after which, for 10 years, 2 jags and the Labour Govt were saved from further embarrassment by being chauffered in a ministerial limousine, at tax payers expense!!
But you know what they say? If you can't beat em; then join em! PLEASE ANYONE BUT JP4PCC”
