摘要

The decision to grant a council farm tenancy to the local authority's deputy leader has culminated in controversy for Cambridgeshire County Council after a two-year investigation.Roger Hickford applied for the publicly advertised tenancy in 2017 and won out over eight other applicants, at the same time he was re-elected to the council, according to The Cambs Times. About six months later, he was appointed County Farms Champion, a role designed to advocate for the farms estate and lead any relevant inquiries.
