    This week it was claimed that reports into expenses and bullying allegations made around the time chief executive Sir Gary Verity left the organisation, would not be released in full.

    The Yorkshire Post reported, external details of the investigation would not be released in their entirety in order to protect the identities of witnesses and due to commercial sensitivities,

    Leader of Scarborough Council, Cllr Steve Siddons, said that nothing short of full transparency would be enough to regain the trust of the public.

    He told the Local Democracy Reporting Service: “It doesn’t fill you with confidence to hear the reports will not be released in full and I think the public will also be concerned also.

    “It doesn’t show the level of openness and transparency that I think is required from the organisation.”

    An accountancy firm is conducting an expenses investigation into Welcome to Yorkshire while solicitors are looking at behaviours and procedures at the agency.

    Scarborough Council is also carrying out its own internal investigation into its relationship with Welcome to Yorkshire, which organises the Tour de Yorkshire, and whether it represents value for money.

    A Welcome to Yorkshire spokesman said it had nothing to add to its statement from April which said: “A report outlining the key themes, findings and recommendations will be made publicly available.”
