Uttlesford District Council is not investing in the arms trade but false rumours are being spread by political agitators according to political group Residents for Uttlesford (R4U).
Councillors Neil Reeve and Neil Hargreaves have robustly rejected the claims about property investments. They have suggested that misinformation is being spread for political reasons, as local elections are taking place in May.
Uttlesford District Council has said the company’s use of the new building, which will be owned by the council, will be as a global facility for research, development and manufacturing, specifically for the aircraft control components sector.
