MP says Route Partnership scheme "politically undeliverable"
25/8/09Andrew George MP has told the Route Partnership that he believes their proposal to build on Battery Rocks beach is now “politically undeliverable”, and has offered to assist in negotiations with the Shipping Minister and the Department for Transport in case the funding timetable needs to be reviewed.
The comments were made in response to the publication of the RP's report into alternatives to building on Battery Rocks beach. He describes Cornwall Council's 11th hour approach to decision-making as "unacceptable" and cautions against rushing into a decision that will leave "a legacy for future generations to regret at their leisure."
The report acknowledges that each of the options considered are "workable solutions" and Andrew George describes the rest of the reports content as "open to both reasonable interpretation and to calm debate".
