Under-fire police boss cancels public meeting amid Rotherham scandal

Embattled South Yorkshire police and crime commissioner (PCC) Shaun Wright has cancelled a planned surgery today, saying no members of the public had booked an appointment.

Mr Wright has not made any public appearances for nine days now – since he gave interviews the day after the publication of Professor Alexis Jay’s damning report on how at least 1,400 children were sexually exploited in Rotherham.
