We've had a printing issue with a small number of poll cards that have been issued for the Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner election on 2 May. If you receive a second poll card please destroy the first poll card you received, and use the second one. The replacement poll cards will be clearly marked to show you which one to retain. Please be reassured this will not affect anyone's ability to vote, or allow people to vote more than once. Whilst you can take your poll card to the polling station, remember you don't need it to vote, but you must remember to bring your voter ID. Thank you for your understanding.

Pay policy statement

Every year we produce a pay policy statement that sets out our approach to pay policy in accordance with the requirements of Section 38 of the Localism Act 2011.

The purpose of the statement is to provide transparency to our approach in setting the pay of our employees by identifying:

the methods by which salaries of all employees are determined
the detail and level of remuneration of its most senior managers i.e. chief officers, as defined by the relevant legislation
the relationship between the remuneration.
