THE Sheriff of Nottingham is being investigated after questions were raised over his conduct.

Zafran Khan, who was elected as a Labour councillor for Wollaton West in 2019, currently holds the civic role, which exists to promote the city as a destination, with the Sheriff typically attending all manner of events to welcome visitors to the city.

Councillor Khan is the brother of the council's leader, Neghat Khan. There is no suggestion she has done anything wrong or is connected to the investigation in any way.

A Freedom of Information (FOI) request was submitted to the council in October asking for correspondence relating to the repair or servicing of the Sheriff's private and personally owned vehicle, and any “complaints or reports of the use of civic office for personal benefit”.
