Seven Green and Liberal Democrat councillors have disassociated themselves from an Uttlesford District Council decision to invest £35m in a headquarters being built in Gloucestershire described as investment 12 .
At Thursday s meeting, Councillor Alan Dean said there had been a lack of full disclosure, that information provided on the investment was only about the design of the proposed building, the building contractor and financial matters.
Cllr Geoffrey Sell said he had searched for the company online, saw the company was involved in the defence industry, and had raised ethical issues.
Responding, Cllr Neil Reeve disputed the claim that members had been unaware of the nature of the company.
