Mansfield MP wins praise from the Home Secretary
Mr Bradley met with Ms Patel at a police event in Westminster where MPs discussed Government plans to introduce the Covenant and its promise to recruit more officers on the streets from next month.
Mr Bradley is part of Blue Collar Conservatism (BCC), a group which campaigned for the Covenant and increase in police numbers – two measures Government adopted.

“Constituents across Mansfield and Warsop often ask me to do more to tackle crime in our area, so I’m pleased with the news that we’ll have 107 new officers recruited in Nottinghamshire.
“We’re getting tough on law and order, whilst also making sure our hard working officers get the support they need.”
Ms Patel added: “MPs have been hearing from our hard-working constituents about their concerns on crime for a long time.
