UK: 'Traffic Taliban' poLICE chief spends £4,000 of public money on a chair

Britain's most controversial police chief is under fire again for spending police funds on a bardic chair for a poetry prize.

The prestigious chair for this year's Royal National Eisteddfod of Wales cost £3,450 with another £750 given as prize money for the winning poet at the festival, being held at Bala in August.

But today one critic said the money should not come out of police funds, and if Mr Brunstrom - due to retire next month - wanted to make a gesture to the Welsh language he could have done so out of his own pocket.

Earning more than £100,000-a-year and picking up a bonus last year of £14,000 he could easily afford it,' said Llandudno businessman Arthur Roberts of the pressure group People for Proper Policing.

Mr Roberts, who is Welsh-speaking, added : 'As a Welshman I fail to see why there should be a police involvement with a wooden bardic chair, even if the chief is a bard of the Eisteddfod.

'If he really wants to leave his mark on the Welsh language before he finishes in his job then the money could come out of his own pocket.

'Police should be fighting crime, not getting involved with chairs.
