The role is set to effectively replace the current Humberside Police Authority.

"Policing should also respond to the needs of local communities. It is not up to politicians to impose their views. At a time when there is precious little money to go round, every available penny should be spent on frontline policing."

Elections will take place on Thursday, November 15.
