The family of lockdown hero Captain Sir Tom Moore has been accused of using his name to build a spa and pool at their home.
Captain Tom's daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore and her husband Colin put forward a planning application in their own name for a 'Captain Tom Building' to use as an office space at the property in Bedfordshire. But the Mirror reports that they referenced the charity created in his name in a design statement included with the application – and built a spa.
The Captain Tom Foundation said it was "at no time...aware" of the fact it had been name-checked in the application. And while permission for the building was given, a retrospective application for a spa – made after it had already been built– was denied.
