The Latest Private Eye Edition of "Rotten Boroughs"

Rate this item
(12 votes)

Regular readers of our Website and e-bulletins will recall two earlier articles published by Private Eye under their regular 'Rotten Boroughs' feature. Both articles were highly critical of Surrey County Council's persistence, contrary to all the scientific and economic evidence, in going ahead with the installation of an incinerator at the Charlton Lane Recycling Centre.

The earlier PE articles (see entries for 11/12/13 and 23/1/14) made specific reference to SCC and the Charlton Lane Site. The latest article of 9th July is more generic and, whilst the Sunbury site is not specifically mentioned, the arguments are the same; and have been precised with the customary brilliance so characteristic of Private Eye.

We can only hope that this satirical periodical is read by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government who has yet to decide whether to 'call in' SCC's approved planning application for public inquiry.

    I was just trying to find if PE had ranked the "Rotten Boroughs". Thanet District Council has nearly concluded conning people about Compulsorily Purchasing an Airport and Ramsgate's Seafront is still blighted by dodgy contracts, a landbanker and a building company that is simultaneously planning building on a flood plane in Lowestoft. A tale of two dodgy 'cities'. A ranking would really help the general public know where they stand!

    Maybe they should do a soap feature on the kempton park houses saga !
