MP Hilton Dawson issued a statement last week saying that it is in the public interest that the full story of the Crinkley Bottom affair is heard.

How odd.

Firstly because that is exactly what this paper has been arguing for years now and secondly because we have been assured that the council has already provided the definitive guide to the Crinkley Bottom fiasco in a report issued by the former chief executive -- what more could there be to tell I wonder?
