Crisis talks over senior North Yorkshire Police post
CRISIS talks are to be held between North Yorkshire Police’s top officer and the Government after the force rejected every applicant for one of its most senior roles.
The position of deputy chief constable has been vacant since its previous holder, Adam Briggs, retired earlier this year.
Candidates for the post were interviewed last week, but North Yorkshire Police Authority decided not to appoint any of them, and the organisation met on Friday to discuss interim plans for the role.
North Yorkshire’s Chief Constable, Grahame Maxwell, is now to meet officials from the Home Office and Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) this week at a senior appointments panel which will look at the next steps for appointing his deputy in the immediate future and long-term.
The force’s two current assistant chief constables, Sue Cross and Tim Madgwick, have shared the post of deputy since Mr Briggs’ departure, which came following a nepotism controversy which also saw Mr Maxwell given a final written warning for helping a relative during a police recruitment exercise.
The police authority confirmed on Friday that Mr Madgwick is still temporary deputy, but it was unsure who would be acting in the post beyond that.
Four candidates for the post were interviewed, believed to include ACC Cross and ACC Madgwick.
HM Inspector Roger Baker, himself a former deputy chief constable with North Yorkshire Police, said: “Conversations have taken place with the police authority, and we are happy with the arrangements in place.
“They will be under constant review.”
A force spokesman said North Yorkshire had the lowest level of crime in England.
This presents a fine opportunity for the Police Authority (and the various government bureaucracies connected with the appointment of these jobs), to set-aside this post and in doing so, saving the national and local tax payers a load of money!! The counter-argument will be that it is a legal requirement but is there really a need for a Deputy in a Force such as North Yorkshire? Their statement over having the lowest recorded crime figures for England, will, I suspect, have been gained without the position of a Deputy Chief Constable, so, why the desperate need to change?Accommodation North Yorkshire - News

Whilst this part of the country was always a favourite of couples looking for a romantic getaway, families are increasingly jumping on the bandwagon as it becomes more fashionable to holiday in the UK. This is especially true in recent months because of the weak pound meaning that few people are inclined to change their hard earned cash into Euros to spend on their holidays at the moment.
Because the weather in this beautiful, rural area of England can never be relied upon, North Yorkshire hotels are the right choice of accommodation for families and couples visiting the area. Only the brave or foolish are advised to try holidaying in a tent here outside of July or August.

Not all the hotels are extravagant and luxurious: there are also many quiet country hotels intended as a base for exploring the region.

North Yorkshire hotels are also popular with lovers of the outdoors. The North Yorkshire Moors are famed for their beautiful hiking trails. Many North Yorkshire hotels are able to offer more basic accommodation for those people looking for just a bed at night.
