Cllr Lloyd now has a great opportunity to make an appointment that is not another Tory closed shop deal. He should do it professionally advertising and using a proper recruitment panel. He can still make the final decision.

The age old adage "engage brain before hitting enter key" was never more true. One hopes our PCC chooses someone worthy and experienced as his deputy rather than a directly political appointment
