Coun Jayne Innes has been issued a Police Information Notice by Warwickshire Police



A senior Coventry councillor has been issued with a police warning notice following allegations of harassment from a fellow member of the Labour Party.

Coun Jayne Innes, who is the cabinet member for city services , was hit with a ‘Police Information Notice’ (PIN) by Warwickshire Police earlier this year.

The Telegraph understands the PIN was issued to Coun Innes, who represents the Whoberely ward, in July after the employer of the alleged male harassment victim was contacted with allegations of homophobia and racism.

But Coun Innes told the Telegraph she was in touch with Warwickshire Police with a view to having the PIN withdrawn claiming she has been the victim of a long-running campaign of harassment herself.

Coun Innes said: “This allegation is being investigated by Warwickshire Police and I expect an outcome in the next day or two.

“I strongly refute all allegations and maintain I’m the victim here.

“While the investigation is underway it’s not possible for me to comment further.”
