The results showed that anti-social behaviour was the biggest concern for South of England Show visitors with theft and burglary and road safety following close behind.

Mrs Bourne said: “This data allows me to keep a rolling temperature test of public confidence in these policing areas and I will continue to articulate these concerns to the Chief Constable and his senior officers.”

The PCC’s next engagement event will be on Sunday 24 June at the Sussex Community Festival, University of Sussex.
