Controversy as Labour Police & Crime Commissioner makes grant to organisation run by senior Labour activists

News emerged this week that Derbyshire's Labour Police and Crime Commissioner had made a grant of £25,000 to an organisation run by two former Labour council candidates. This comes on top of a previous grant for £25,000 to the same organisation made by the previous Labour Police and Crime Commissioner. A senior employee, former Labour candidate Oleg Sotnicenko, claims that this is a non-political grant. But, according to reports, Mr. Sotnicenko admits that his organisation has no current projects in Derby and only claims to have helped 12 individuals in the past. With commissioner Hardyal Dhindsa also being a Labour councillor for the neighbouring ward, the potential conflict of interest is clear.
