Secret service

DAVID Lochhead, chairman of Cranshaws, Ellemford and Longformacus Community Council quite rightly stated this week that "the point of a public inquiry is to be open and transparent".
So why then is there so much hush hush activity involved regarding the outcome of the Fallago Rig Wind Farm Public Inquiry?
Could it be that the Scottish Government are trying to do a deal with the Ministry of Defence to be able to approve it and thus step closer to their renewable energy target?
If there is new evidence which has come to light after the public inquiry then surely those who took part in the inquiry should be notified of it.
Given that discussions are taking place behind closed doors surely questions have to be asked about the transparency of the whole public inquiry process.
