A Nottingham MP has described Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Commissioner's five speeding offences as 'outrageous'. Conservative Caroline Henry, who was caught speeding five times within four months, has made a "mockery" of her election pledge 'Make Notts Safe', said Lilian Greenwood.
The Labour MP, who represents the city's south constituency told Nottinghamshire Live: “This makes a mockery of Caroline Henry's election promise to 'Make Notts Safe'. Every 22 minutes someone is killed or seriously injured on UK roads and speeding is described by Police as one of the 'fatal five'. For the Police and Crime Commissioner to have shown such disregard for public safety is outrageous."
The comments come after Henry's appearance at Nottingham Magistrates' Court, where it was heard the 52-year-old had broken the 30mph limit in four locations around the county in March, May and June 2021. Magistrates were told Henry, who is the wife of Broxtowe MP Darren Henry, had written a letter to the court saying she was "very sorry, embarrassed and ashamed".
