However, the Police and Crime Commissioner for Nottinghamshire has hit back
Ben Bradley says the role of Police and Crime Commissioner could be scrapped in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire as part of devolution arrangements for both counties. The leader of Nottinghamshire County Council was speaking as the results of a public consultation on the proposed East Midlands devolution deal are published.
"There are options in other places where you have less politicians, where PCCs disappear and become part of the combined authority. All those things are questions for us to consider and look at in the future. Mr Tipping, who stood for Labour, was elected again in 2016 but was then defeated by Conservative candidate Caroline Henry in 2021. Speaking about the future of the role, Caroline Henry said: "No decision has yet been made on whether the role of the PCC will be subsumed into a new governance structure because there are two statutory police force areas, with separate commissioners.
But Ben Bradley says having a mayor is a condition of being given the amount of money and power set to be handed to the East Midlands. He said: "We took the view as the four upper tier leaders across Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire that we would play the game.
