Debate over future of Police and Crime Commissioner and if she should resign over speeding fine shame

Nottinghamshire Live readers have joined calls for the county's police and crime commissioner to resign after she was caught speeding five times. Caroline Henry says she's 'very ashamed' after previously pleading guilty to several speeding offences.

Henry spoke at a recent meeting but declined to discuss the matter or take questions because she is yet to be sentenced for the offences, and wants "to avoid any possible interference with the judicial outcome of the case". She told the meeting she expected the case to conclude in six weeks times.

Many of our readers called on the 52-year-old to resign, drawing comparisons between her situation and the one faced by Boris Johnson, who also refused to resign after breaking lockdown laws. One user wrote: "Just like the PM - thinks saying sorry, I’m ashamed etc for being caught FIVE times will suffice! She should be banned!"
