Perhaps the wrong information is being transmitted. Certainly, the closure of the facility in Germany does not allay public fears. Having been sold to councillors and the public as a state-of-the-art facility, a story appeared in the national and European press informing us that it had been closed down within weeks of a visit by councillors. This causes grave concern and anxiety among public representatives because they are the voice of the people, are accountable to them and must listen to them.
