Norfolk’s Police and Crime Commissioner is reconsidering a 127-date theatre tour after constituents questioned its compatibility with his public role.
Norfolk’s Police and Crime Commissioner is reconsidering plans for a 127-date theatre tour following criticism from constituents and politicians.
Colin Sutton, who was elected for Reform UK in July, had been due to take his true-crime show to venues across England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands during 2027.
The tour, titled The Makings of a Murderer – Double Jeopardy, draws on his career as a Metropolitan Police detective, including his work leading the investigation which brought serial killer Levi Bellfield to justice.
However, questions have been raised about whether such an extensive schedule is compatible with his role as Norfolk’s Police and Crime Commissioner.
Mr Sutton receives a salary of just over £79,000 for the elected position.
He has previously insisted the performances could take place in his own time without affecting his PCC responsibilities.
However, after receiving messages from Norfolk residents, he says he is now reconsidering the arrangements.
Mr Sutton says his duties to the people of Norfolk come first and that he has listened to concerns about how the tour could be perceived.
He is now holding urgent discussions with the promoter about changing the schedule and says a further announcement will be made once a decision has been reached.
