Members of the New inn Action Group expressed concern by the guidance given by the Borough 's Chief legal officer to Borough Councillors that they should not attend a briefing that was given by NAG on the use of the old Re-chem site for a domestic waste treatment plant.

NAG are to complain that this view is partial in favour of Shanks plc who recently had their planning application approved by the Council on 5/2/08.They argue that no such similar advice was given to members of the council who visited the Shanks plants in London last year  and were free to listern to the arguments put forward by the company and ask questions.
