Staffing and Expenses

The Derbyshire PCC office employs 17 people plus a further advertised 4 vacancies plus a (proposed ) ?  consultant on awarding grants.  I am comparing their work with other nearby PCC Offices.

How does Nottingham cope without a Deputy PCC?

The Derbyshire PCC generally claims very high expenses which do not appear on his website til very late.

I had to ask for expenses disclosure and even now only expenses claimed by him to February 2018 are available

His claims include expensive train tickets -- mainly for London meetings and overnight stays.

The London meetings and overnight stays and train fares are not shown on your websites or maybe I have not looked in the right place !!

Can you please tell me if your expenses do not show these as they are maybe paid direct by your office ?

If so, where can I view a complete picture of your expenses ?
