1 – Derek Boldison
How many people have been cautioned for not obeying the rules? Ìt seems morally wrong to prosecute when more serious crimes are warned or cautioned.

2-5 Philip Allott
1 – Could you please provide an update concerning the number of local authorities that have now deployed COVID Marshalls?
2 – What will be the trigger point for deploying the army in North Yorkshire?
3 – what policing role will the army be doing?
4 – finally, will the army be sworn in by the Chief Constable as police officers?

6-8 Sally Ann Smith
1 – On trying to report antisocialable behaviour and I found there no telephone response on 101 and although I emailed I never received a reply.
2 – Why does it say on the Whitby police website the hours of opening when the station is not actually open to the public.
3 – Why is not open to the public?

9 – Richard Kirby
It would be interesting to learn factually both is there, and is it professional judgment, there will be a decline in compliance by the public with “Guidance” for cv19 measures over time. Especially, now that it is “Law” and legislated for under HMG emergency powers in the 1984 Public Health Act rather than by allowing Parliamentary debate and scrutiny first. If civil liberties are a minority view as it is alleged, still there has been no overt consent by our elected Parliamentarians. Surely, in a democracy the majority may rule but with dissent and debate and even a vote allowed before HMG’s fiat?
