Election candidate reports objections to his planning application to police

An election candidate in Oldham claims he's been the victim of 'hate speech' after comments made about a planning application - and has made a report to police.

But Errock claimed the comments were part of a “smear campaign” and reported one resident to police for “malicious communications”. GMP have since said the investigation has now been concluded and “no suspect found”. But in a message to the M.E.N., Mr Errock said: “These ‘objections’ were received following a post … on Social Media, which is in clear breach of the Malicious Communications Act 1997."

“My own application does NOT breach any Greenbelt whatsoever, and this is simply a smear campaign seeking to score points by spreading malicious, false communications, which is intended to cause harassment, alarm and distress.”
