The Mayor of South Yorkshire, Oliver Coppard, would not rule out cuts to local policing during an interview with The Star after his team discovered a £65m shortfall in the accounts they inherited from the former office of the police and crime commissioner.

Mayor Coppard did say there was nothing untoward or criminal about the shortfall, adding it was "fundamental human error" and he was "frustrated for the people of South Yorkshire".
