North Yorkshire's Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner has been hit with fresh criticism with claims she failed to implement measures to prevent bullying in her office.

Julia Mulligan had been given a series of recommendations to follow after a panel ruled she had displayed "bullying behaviour" towards members of staff.

But seven months on, members of North Yorkshire’s Police, Fire and Crime Panel say they are disappointed she by her response to their “recovery plan”.

A meeting at County Hall in Northallerton heard that in November, she had agreed with the panel to follow-up on its six recommendations.

She was supposed to respond within 21 days to the recommendations, which included surveying staff over bullying in the workplace, undertaking a management course and appointing a mentor.

The commissioner received reminders in January and April but did not reply and it was only last week, just hours before the meeting, that the panel received brief responses.

Deputy chairman, Cllr Peter Wilkinson told her: "I have to express disappointment on behalf of the sub-panel that we issued this report in October and the first time we have had a meaningful response to the recommendations was yesterday evening."

After being asked about the delay, the commissioner replied that with senior officers now in place in her office, there were now suitable staff to progress the recommendations.

Students at Penistone Grammar School are involved in the drug dealing, a public meeting was told, something the principal at the school denies.

There had been "no reports at all" of pupils in school being unfit through drugs or dealing on the premises, principal Paul Crook said.

“I could name ten, what we call dealers, who are targeting vulnerable children in Penistone. We have shared them with the police", Mr Crook told the meeting.

But he denied claims posted on Facebook of drug problems affecting pupils at the grammar school.

Penistone doesn't have a "huge problem" with drugs though, according to South Yorkshire's Police and Crime Commissioner Dr Alan Billings.

“Part of the frustration with drugs is that often names are known", he said.

"The ones we really have to get at are the suppliers, they are the ones responsible for gangs, grooming and county lines”.
