 A DEPUTY mayor was yesterday ordered to pay £775 to North Wales Police after failing to sue the force over its "poor performance". Jeff Evans, from Holyhead, was told to pay the force's legal costs which amounted to more than three times the council tax rebate he was seeking. The 52-year-old last month served a court summons on Chief Constable Richard Brunstrom - claiming the quality of policing was unsatisfactory. Yesterday, the youth worker failed to persuade a district judge at Llangefni to reverse a previous decision to strike out his claim for a £223 rebate of his police precept covering two years. Mr Evans, chairman of the local crime and disorder partnership, decribed his case as a David and Goliath battle for justice. District judge Owen Williams told him :"I have no doubt you are concerned about the safety of residents and people in Holyhead." But he added :"There's nothing that leads me to believe you have a legal basis for your claim. To succeed in a claim you have to have a legal basis for bringing it." Mr Evans said he spent his wife's housekeeping money in bringing the claim, seeking better policing for the public. He told the court he was not in a position to pay the costs. |
