He is right, we do need to look at the facts, so let’s look at them. Firstly, he implied Labour councillors were somehow responsible for refusing the planning application – only two of the ten members were Labour that night, the rest were Conservative, Lib Dem and Highwoods Independents. Secondly, he implies Essex County Council is withholding information. As a non-elected person, he is not entitled to any information not in the public domain, so if he has such information, it is by definition public and he can reveal it. Thirdly, the decision to sign the contract with Alumno was taken by cabinet on November 21, 2018.
