Labour's candidate to stand in the Avon and Somerset police commissioner election, Bob Ashford, has withdrawn - because of a criminal conviction when he was 13.

He says being fined for trespassing and possessing an offensive weapon in 1966 means he's ineligible.

The commissioner will oversee the chief constable and control the budget for the force.

Former Somerset County Council leader Ken Maddock is the Conservative candidate - and the Lib Dems have put forward Bristol Councillor Pete Levy.
