Keep Politics Out of Policing

There has been considerable interest in the funding of PCC candidates’ campaigns

nationally. There has also been discussions over Candidates meeting other

organisations, groups and most of all, private companies and lobbyists.

I will therefore disclose my funding streams for this campaign, and outline

any contacts with organisations, private companies or lobbyists.

MY DEPOSIT

I received sums of £500 and £1000 from personal friends, one lives in Dorset,

one lives in London.

I funded the remainder myself – £3,500

MY CAMPAIGN

I have received donations ranging from £1 to £250 from individuals who are

supporters, friends or both. The current total for this is £467.

I have spent about £2500 of my own money on the campaign.

My publicity, printing costs, and some flier delivery costs door

to door by hand (outside of Bournemouth and Poole)  amounting

to £15,000 has been donated by Mark Constantine, the owner of Lush.

Mark runs an international Dorset based cosmetic business, and was one of six

Dorset people I approached back in the summer, seeking help in fighting my

campaign.

His business is not connected directly to the Police.

He does not expect anything in return, he just believes in the “little man” taking

on the Political Parties. He also believes that Party Politics should be kept out

of Policing.

Fliers in Bournemouth and Poole are being distributed by hand by volunteers

and friends.

Some fliers to the rest of Dorset are being distributed by hand by volunteers

and friends.

My postage costs, envelopes and labeling for some posted fliers have been donated

“in kind” by Dave Wells,  a Dorset based businessman also living in Poole.

He does not expect anything in return, he just believes that Party Politics should

be kept out of Policing.

He has also written to his tenants supporting me.

I did not know Dave until two weeks ago. We met over the “Boscombe issue”.

I intend to work with Dave, other private landlords, and all

the other agencies, to address the deprivation issues of Boscombe. Boscombe is the

the most deprived area in the South West.

His business is not connected directly to the Police.
