Business leaders in Warwickshire are being invited to contribute to the development of the region’s policing budget for the fiscal year 2026/27. Police and Crime Commissioner Philip Seccombe is set to host an online Business Feedback Session on January 15, 2026, from 08:00 to 09:00 GMT via Microsoft Teams. This initiative is part of a broader public consultation that will commence later in December or early January, dependent on the confirmation of government funding allocations for policing.
The feedback session aims to gather insights from local businesses across various sectors, including industry, retail, and agriculture. This engagement is critical, as Mr. Seccombe emphasized the vital role businesses play in the community. He stated, “Businesses play a vital role in our communities and their insight is essential in shaping policing priorities across Warwickshire.”
This collaboration will help ensure that the budget reflects the needs and priorities of Warwickshire’s diverse economy. The final budget is expected to be set in February 2026 following the consultation process. Participants in the feedback session will have the opportunity to share their perspectives, ensuring that the budget aligns with local expectations regarding safety and security.
