EXCLUSIVE: 'Irregularities' at Fife charity probed by police as former chairman slams 'lies'
Police Scotland and the charities regulator have launched a probe into alleged 'irregularities' at a Dalgety Bay charity. Community hub That Place in the Bay closed suddenly and for the 'foreseeable future' last month. The announcement caused some confusion after a series of posts were made in multiple Facebook groups, and later deleted. However, Fife Voluntary Action confirmed the closure, explaining that trustees are aiming to restore the service as soon as possible. It has now emerged that police are investigating reports of alleged 'managerial and financial irregularities' involving former chairman Peter Collins. A Police Scotland spokesperson told The Courier: 'On April 2, we received a report of concern over managerial and financial irregularities against a trustee of a charity in the Fife area. 'Inquiries are ongoing.' However, The Courier understands no one has been charged with any offence. Responding to the ongoing investigation, Mr Collins told The Courier: 'The truth will come out. 'It's all a pack of lies.' Commenting on behalf of the remaining trustees, FVA confirmed 'at least one' police investigation is under way. Chief executive Kenny Murphy added: 'The trustees had reported a number of concerns to the police and a large range of concerns to the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR). 'Issues have been reported to Fife Council and funders, too.' An OSCR spokesperson said: 'We can confirm we have received concerns about the charity. 'They are currently being assessed in line with our standard policies and procedures to establish if there are any regulatory matters for OSCR to pursue.' Fife Council has been approached for comment.

Bury sinkhole: Commuters, residents and traders voice frustration
A sinkhole on a major commuter route is preventing people from getting to and from work, impacting local businesses and making local residents feel unsafe, it has been New Road in Prestwich, Bury, has been closed since Tuesday after a hole opened above a cavity estimated to be about 110ft (33m) in road, which is often gridlocked at at peak times, links Prestwich to the M60 and Manchester city resident Malcolm Sidebottom said: "I've never seen anything like this before in 50 years of living in Prestwich." Mr Sidebottom said everything was "very, very eerily quiet"."The last [sinkhole] I saw like this... the road was closed for many months. "You want the community to go back to normal as soon as possible, the local businesses will be affected." 'It's a joke' Peter Collins, who owns a business next to the sinkhole, said his regular bus journey to work had been rendered impossible because of the diversions that had been put in said he had been forced to call a friend to pick him up and drive him to work. "Over the last week it's just been a joke," he complained. "We've not been able to do anything, we've not been able to get to and from work."Mr Collins said he was concerned the sinkhole, which residents said had grown massively since it first appeared last week, would expand to the road under his business premises."I don't feel safe as such because of the size of the hole," he explained. A Bury Council spokesperson said: "We are doing everything we can to resolve this problem as soon as possible."Our initial investigations have shown a sewer pipe to be in disrepair, with multiple cracks and slippages along 22m of its length."We are working with United Utilities to resolve the issue, and the road will remain closed for the next few days while investigations continue."The spokesperson said diversion routes would remain in place until further notice, and advised motorists to avoid the area wherever possible and to allow extra time for their journeys.
