Delays in cleaning up radiation-hit Dalgety Bay beach have come under fire from Gordon Brown.
The MP, who has talked of “two wasted seasons” has tabled an urgent parliamentary question after correspondence with Dalgety Bay Community Council chairman Colin McPhail.
Mr Brown has asked for an explanation of what he calls “slowness” in implementing a clean-up plan being agreed between Sepa and the MoD, while Mr McPhail has complained directly to the MoD.
Mr Brown has challenged the MoD to come up with a clean-up timetable by Monday, when the community council next meets and wants to have a summary of remedial options.
He added he has yet to receive news of a planned meeting with the key stakeholders that the MoD had said was being held this month.
Mr McPhail has told the politician he expected the appropriate steps to address the contamination problem between the MoD and Sepa to have been finalised by now for consultation.
“I am conscious, as Mr McPhail has said, that we are almost into the 24th year since the contamination was first discovered in 1990,” Mr Brown said.
“It is time, as had been said, for the community council to receive remedial options to progress final closure on the matter.”
