Watchdog probes three complaints against coroner

It comes after the M.E.N. reported how a formal complaint on behalf of the Manchester council had been made to the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office (JCIO) in April 2021 asking for an investigation into Mr. Meadows' conduct.

It called for Mr Meadows to be suspended while the complaint, which also raised concerns about his capacity to do the job, was investigated.

Now the JCIO has confirmed it is investigating two further complaints about Mr. Meadows.

A spokesperson for the JCIO, which is responsible for investigating complaints against judicial officers, including coroners, said: "The JCIO is currently considering three complaints about Mr Meadows, including the one received in April 2021."
