Now fight taken to Ombudsman

Today we have sent an e-mail to the office of the Scottish Parliamentary Ombudsman in the next stage of our fight for justice.
One would have thought that with approximately 40 complainants disputing the flawed ballot in Largs that in a democratic society we would have been given a re-ballot. Derek MacKay MSP claims that there are not enough of us to significantly change the result of the BID ballot on 1st November last year. Well we all know otherwise, as does he, - the Minister responsible for BID is determined to prevent us having a fair and free vote here in Largs.
So our Freedom of Information request for the exact number and details of eligible businesses in the Largs BID is with the Commissioner for a ruling.
And now our appeal will go to the Ombudsman. Pity it is the Easter holiday, which will cause more delay. Perhaps that was deliberate. However we will fight on.
