Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Police and Crime Commissioner Rupert Matthews has today (25 August 2026) named David Sandall as his preferred candidate for the new Chief Constable of Leicestershire Police.

The announcement follows a robust and competitive selection process carried out in line with the College of Policing’s recruitment requirements. This included assessments by both internal and external stakeholder groups and an in-depth presentation and formal interview.

The appointment will now be subject to a confirmation hearing by the Police and Crime Panel.

🚨 SHEPSHED HAS BEEN LEFT WITHOUT ITS TIP🚨

Shepshed’s tip has now been closed for some time, and residents are still waiting to see meaningful action from those elected to represent them.

When the future of Shepshed tip was previously under threat, Conservatives fought to keep it open.

With Jane Hunt as our Conservative MP, a Conservative County Councillor representing Shepshed, and local Conservatives campaigning alongside residents, we made the case for this important local service.

We fought, and we won. Shepshed tip stayed open.

But since Reform took control of Leicestershire County Council and with a Labour the Member of Parliament, the tip has closed and where has been the campaign to get it reopened?

Where is the pressure on the County Council?

Where is the fight from Shepsheds now former Councillor?

Where is the strong local voice from our Labour MP?

Shepshed deserves better than being forgotten.

Residents need elected representatives who will stand up for the town, fight for its services and make sure Shepshed gets its fair share.

🗳️ There is a by-election coming.

When you cast your vote, remember what happened to Shepshed tip. Remember who fought to keep it open before, and remember the lack of action since.

Shepshed needs a strong voice again.

🔵 Vote Conservative.
