COUNCIL chiefs and police have confirmed they are carrying out a review into a city charity after receiving a number of complaints.
Stanground Community Association, which runs Stanground Community Centre, in Whittlesey Road, Stanground, Peterborough is at the centre of a review by Peterborough City Council and police in relation to a number of allegations.
In a statement issued by the Town Hall to the Evening Telegraph, Detective Chief Inspector Gary Goose, strategic manager for the SaferPeterborough Partnership, remained tight-lipped about the nature of the allegations.
However, he said: “The council and police are reviewing information to see if there are grounds for a police investigation into a number of issues. In view of this, we cannot make any further comment at this time for fear of prejudicing the investigation.”
The review of information began last week and a council spokeswoman said they were not able to comment about how long it would take.
The Charity Commission, the organisation which regulates all charities in England and Wales, has also confirmed that it has received and it was investigating at least one complaint made against the association. A spokeswoman for the commission said that she could not disclose how many complaints had been received or their nature.
Despite several calls made by the Evening Telegraph, to the centre no one there was prepared to comment.
Chairman of the association, Alan Coulson declined to comment yesterday saying that the Evening Telegraph should talk to the city council.
