Police investigating allegations of bribery at Slough Borough Council

preview

At least three property developers have submitted a formal complaint, according to the Evening Standard newspaper.
  The London newspaper says police have been called to investigate allegations of bribery in applications for property developments.
  A Slough Borough Council spokesperson said it could not investigate as no individual had been named in the complaint. But said they felt it was best to forward the allegations to the police.
  The spokesperson said: “The council has received information expressing concern about soliciting money in order to secure approval for planning permissions.
  “No individual was named in the complaint therefore there was no evidence the council could investigate. However, the council decided it was best to forward these serious allegations to the police for their consideration.”
  Slough Borough Council effectively declared bankruptcy in December 2021 and was put under the control of government-appointed commissioners. Control of the council switched from Labour to the Conservatives in local elections last year.
  Slough Borough Council’s Labour opposition leader Pavitar Kaur Mann said his party welcomes the investigation.
  She said: “We welcome any and all investigation into the planning system over the last year, including whether or not any individual has sought to benefit from their position.”
