The Police and Crime Commissioner for Lancashire is facing allegations that he claimed travel expenses for meetings from the county council and police authority.
He is believed to have claimed £1,200 in mileage and a further £350 in food and drink in 23 cases.
The Blackpool Gazette report:
LANCASHIRE’S new police commissioner today defended himself amid allegations he ‘double claimed’ travelling expenses.
Fleetwood councillor Clive Grunshaw is facing calls to resign just a month after being elected to the £85,000-a-year position of Police and Crime Commissioner.
Coun Grunshaw, who is also a Labour Lancashire County and Wyre Borough councillor, served on the Lancashire Police Authority before it was replaced by the new PCC post.
