Martin Surl has brought strong effective governance in his two terms as PCC for Gloucestershire. I have found him to be open, honest and receptive. He has a strong vision for the communities of Gloucestershire that has been embedded in the Police and Crime plans that he...

Martin as PCC has done so much for the county - he dedicates 1% of his budget towards good causes that help his priorities within the Police & Crime Plan. I feel he’s done a lot around the Young People Becoming Adults priority, and supported many...

On May the 6th , when some of us will be able to vote for our local councillors, we will all be asked to vote for our Police and Crime Commissioner. It’s possible many people still don’t know about the PCC and the significant role...

As a small business owner and a mother I am really keen we all play our part in looking after our environment. I was therefore really pleased to see that Martin as PCC is pushing our police force to be “green” with his green and...

Martin has been a great supporter of Treasure Seekers' vision for The Cavern. He has consistently championed work amongst the most vulnerable young people in our city and has not been afraid to act in line with those convictions. This just goes to highlight his compassion and...

  As a former High Sheriff of Gloucestershire and indeed even before, I have seen first hand how Martin Surl’s dedication and contribution to the county has had outstanding results. Not only does he contribute 1% of his budget to charities, projects and groups whose sole...

What I like about Martin is that he is genuinely very passionate about making Gloucestershire a safer and better place to live for all residents. He believes in the power of the local community, engaging them to help achieve this through using some of his...

In 2012 our young people & staff wanted to meet the PCC candidates, Martin Surl arrived and everyone warmed to his honest, open personality and his down to earth approach. Little did we know, a few years later, The Commissioners Fund was to save us from closure. That...

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Martin is the right person to hold the office of police and crime commissioner. His commitment to community projects as part of a wider policing plan is to be applauded. Independent of any political party or...

Martin has delivered clear value to Gloucestershire as our PCC in tough and complex times. I’ve watched others across the country achieve far less and I’ve been pondering how Martin has delivered so much more for us. I’ve concluded that his combination of experience, competence...

Politics does not feature on Martin Surl’s agenda as Gloucestershire’s Police Commissioner. What I like about him is that he believes that helping the community has a positive effect on breaking the cycle of crime. He has been brave in putting a proportion of his budget into...

Martin has really tried his best to support the voluntary sector, especially young people's projects. He's listened to our concerns and also put resources into different projects and ideas that demonstrate how the police and communities can work together to make the County a better...

Thank you PCC... Speeding drivers are a menace. They endanger lives and our community was growing increasingly anxious for a solution. It is not enough to say “We’ve all done it at some time”, it has to stop.

If Gloucestershire and the Forest of Dean in particular is to continue to have a voice , it needs Independent minded leaders such as Martin Surl. For too long  our County and our district suffered as party political dogma dictated that other areas and other...
