In March Nottinghamshire Police was placed into special measures, with Chief Constable Kate Meynell saying she recognised the "serious nature" of an inspection's findings.

While she was serving as PCC, Mrs Henry was given a six-month driving ban after being caught speeding five times in the space of 12 weeks.

In a statement at the time, she said she was "truly sorry for speeding".
