I refused to accept the decision from the allocated officer at the Office of the Ombudsman, as I believed that it did not address the relevant issues re Largs BID. I am still awaiting the outcome of the subsequent review by the Ombudsman. To date I have only received an apology, on 17th August, for the delay.
Meantime we are meeting next week with representatives of the Federation of Small Businesses, FSB, in response to our complaints of lack of action re the scourge of BID.
WE WILL NOT GIVE UP.
In a supposedly democratic country, we will not accept a `rigged` ballot with 82 known to have been deprived of a ballot paper in order to declare a "yes" result for BID.
I did not expect to be still calling for a re-ballot TEN MONTHS after the event.
WE WILL NOT GIVE UP.
