The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Elections on the 7 May 2020 have now been delayed due to the Coronavirus outbreak.
North Yorkshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Julia Mulligan said:
Given the spread of Coronavirus and the unpredictability of the weeks ahead, I completely understand this decision.
For the time being, every focus we have must be to ensure the health and wellbeing of people across North Yorkshire and the country as a whole.
It follows that I remain in office and committed to the role to ensure there is continuity at a time when our brave emergency services will no doubt be tested.
