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.

A controversial £35m investment in land that will result in a building being created in Gloucestershire IS ethical, a meeting heard.
Uttlesford district councillors on Thursday (February 25) expressed frustration at press coverage and social media comments over a deal with Moog, who will become the tenants. It has been claimed the company has links to the arms trade. Oxfam has expressed concern, speakers addressed Tuesday s meeting, and a public petition on the council s website now has 348 signatures.
Moog Inc is a worldwide designer, manufacturer, and integrator of precision control components and systems. Moog systems control military and commercial aircraft, satellites, and space vehicles, launch vehicles, missiles, automated industrial machinery, and marine and medical equipment.
