Prosecutors will be asked to decide whether Police and Crime Commissioner Alison Hernandez should be charged with false accounting in the 2015 general election. 

Andrew White, chief executive for the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner, said: "This referral does not prevent the commissioner from holding the position of PCC. 

"If a charge is brought this remains the case - it would not prevent her from remaining in office. 

"I am certain that some will see this as a significant stage in the investigation but in British justice an individual is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law."

The Stadium for Cornwall could be open and ready for use in just over two years time.

That's according to the Cornish Pirates and Truro City Football Club who've agreed to share the facility at Langarth Farm on the outskirts of Truro.

They say the funding is in place for the 6,000 seater ground.

Pirates chairman Paul Durkin says the stadium will be more than a sports ground.

He said: "Part of this whole development will be lots of community pitches which will be at the highest spec. 

"The other thing we're looking at is providing conference facilities which again will provide opportunities for businesses around Cornwall to use. We'll also be planning events, so lots of things that will benefit Cornwall as a whole."

Prosecutors will be asked to decide whether to press false accounting charges against Devon and Cornwall's Police and Crime Commissioner, Alison Hernandez, in relation to the 2015 general election.

She was the Conservatives' agent in the Torbay constituency in 2015, and so responsible for election spending there. 

The allegations surround the Conservatives' battle bus - expenses for activists brought in to Torbay to campaign were declared nationally, when critics said they should've been part of local spending returns. 

She has always denied any wrongdoing. The file on the case has been sent to the Crown Prosecution Service.

An unclassified road is one that does not have an M, A or B number.

The authority says 23% of it's smaller rural roads need repairing straight away and that the backlog is down to under-funding by the government. 

The Department for Transport says it's giving the authority over £47m in 2017/18 to fix, repair and upgrade roads.

There are now "no plans" to close the only care home on the Isles of Scilly after the increased publicity meant more interest in jobs.

The Council of the Isles of Scilly announced the possible closure of Park House Residential Services in March due to an acute shortage of staff which posed a risk to the care of residents. 

The council says the publicity generated more interest in job vacancies. 

It has also identified single-person accommodation and agreed a market supplement payment for care workers to make the roles more attractive - meaning there are now no plans to close the home.

Sports Direct, which has been blighted by uproar over its working conditions, has elected an employee to attend board meetings. 

The appointment of Alex Balacki, 30, as the company's employee representative follows a tumultuous 2016 for the retailer which included its billionaire chief executive, Mike Ashley, being hauled before MPs to be grilled over "Victorian" working conditions.

The firm's warehouse in Shirebrook, Derbyshire, came under fierce criticism and the company hosted a farcical "open day" at its headquarters. 

Chief executive Dave Forsey then quit the group, only to be replaced by Mr Ashley. Mr Balacki is a Barnstaple store manager who has been with the company for 13 years. He will begin his 12-month role as an employee representative later this spring.
