More on the eco-towns non-announcement

Further to my earlier piece about the government not meeting a promise to publish key documents on eco-towns this month, neither opponents nor proponents are surprised. From both directions, it's seen as fairly typical. One developer said, "no surprise there then", while BARD says:

“If true, this latest delay comes as no surprise whatsoever. The whole process seems to mutate from stage to stage as it goes along, lending just further weight to the argument that the process has been flawed from the start. We have written to the Government to ask them to comply with the judge’s Order to offer up the various documentation on which they relied to compile their shortlist. We have also suggested they bring a halt the process until such time as the Judicial Review has been heard and determined. ”
