Conservative police and crime commissioner for Nottinghamshire Caroline Henry has restated her apology after being caught speeding five times in the space of a few months. Mrs Henry, the wife to Broxtowe's Conservative MP Darren, says she is "ashamed, embarrassed and sorry" having appeared in court earlier this year.
Mrs Henry, who is paid more than £76,000 per year for her role in holding to account Nottinghamshire Police and its responses to and prevention of crime, was caught speeding in various locations across the county between March, May and June this year. She appeared before city magistrates and will now be sentenced in July.
She has now spoken publicly for the first time since her court appearance during a meeting of Nottinghamshire's Police and Crime Panel at County Hall on Monday, June 6. Speaking during the meeting as Nottinghamshire Police's chief constable, Craig Guildford, sat behind her, she told the panel: "Members of the police and crime panel, before my update is presented to you, I think it is only right to formally acknowledge the matter of the court case, of which I am involved as a private citizen, given that some of the information is already in the public domain.
