It was an absolute pleasure to be able to welcome PCSO Suzanne Fox to Westminster and Downing Street, as part of an event to recognise local community safety champions. PCSO’s play such an important role in linking the police to the wider community. We have some wonderful officers across the Bolsover constituency, but Suzanne was nominated for going above and beyond – I’ve received nothing but praise and positive feedback from residents for her work locally. She is the very best of what Derbyshire Police has to offer and I could not be any prouder to have her serve in Clowne and Barlborough. On behalf of the local community thank you for all that you do.
The reception took place on Tuesday 5 December, and Suzanne called it ‘a once in a lifetime’ experience:
“Going to 10 Downing Street was just an incredible experience in itself, we went up the winding staircase looking at all the pictures of past Prime Ministers and were greeted by drinks and canapes.”
“A speech was given to the room by The Rt Hon Tom Tugendhat MP, Minister for Security on behalf of the Prime Minister, thanking everyone for attending and being nominated for being such an inspiration to the communities that we serve and the achievements that we have made to make a difference to our local communities’ lives.
“Upon leaving Downing Street, Mark invited me to a VIP tour of the Houses of Parliament, which was yet again another surprise. We were given a tour by one of Mark’s staff members, seeing it all was incredible and getting to know some history at the same time.
“All of this all still feels like a dream, but one that I will cherish and never forget.”
