"What a pointless, stupid, criminal waste of money all that doubled-up bureaucracy is in a recession"
In their favour, our MSP's are amalgamating all the current Police Services in favour of an all Scottish one with the Fire Service next in line. Do not be surprised if soon after that, the many pointless District Councils we were landed with (by the last Conservative Government) in 1997 go. With an Edinburgh Parliament, there's not a lot left for them to do.
BTW SEPA apply the Law as it applies across the UK. The issue at Kinloss is over land already sold by the MOD and doubt that required procedures were carried out to render it usable by others. This differs from the problem at Dalgety Bay in Fife where surplus WW2 aircraft had been dumped and radium particles are now being found on the beach.
