Staffordshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner Matthew Ellis braved the elements when he returned to Speakers’ Corner in Lichfield.
Speakers’ Corner was launched in the city centre in 2009 and holds regular events giving guests and members of the public the chance to speak about topics close to their hearts.
Mr Ellis returned to the podium on Saturday 2 November following a previous visit last year to update the crowd about the progress made since he started his role in November 2012.
He said: “It was a somewhat wet and blustery Saturday morning at Speakers’ Corner but there was a decent turnout and some good questions.
“I updated those there about our work over the last 12 months to spend public money better and achieve more while making sure the criminal justice system fits people’s needs rather than them having to fit the system.
“It was a really good morning and, interestingly, there have been calls from other parts of Staffordshire to have Speakers Corner themselves, which I fully support.”
