North Lincolnshire Leaders Back Abolition of PCC Role

December 25, 2025 7:07 am

The confirmation of plans to phase out the Humberside Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) role by 2028 has been met with approval by North Lincolnshire’s council leaders. This strategy means that elected PCCs across England and Wales will not be reinstated after the conclusion of their current terms. Rob Waltham, leader of North Lincolnshire Council, together with other leaders from adjacent councils, expressed their commendation for this decision in a letter to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood. The leaders embraced the announcement as heralding a significant change in local policing governance. This article was adapted from an original report by www.bbc.com.
