The Environmental Safety Group is to meet with Conservative MEP Ashley Fox during his visit to Gibraltar this week. The group’s legal adviser, David Dumas QC from Hassan’s International Law Firm, will also be present at the meeting.

The Gibraltar Police Authority today launched its annual questionnaire that aims to ascertain the views of those living and working in Gibraltar on how Gibraltar is policed. The Authority is required in law to draw up and publish an Annual Policing Plan for Gibraltar, which sets out the targets and priorities for policing. Before doing so, the Authority consults the public. The survey launched today follows the same successful methodology as was introduced in 2011.
