Another attempt to get to the bottom of the decision-making over the ultimately abandoned Norfolk incinerator will be made on Monday.

It has also emerged that incomplete information was provided to this newspaper when we submitted a Freedom of Information request for all documents relating to a scrapped independent report into the conduct of councillors during the saga.

When the contract for the proposed incinerator at King's Lynn was cancelled, it left the council with a £34m bill because of compensation to contractor Cory Wheelabrator.

And, at Monday's full Norfolk County Council meeting, non-aligned councillor John Dobson will put forward a motion calling for further investigation.

Mr Dobson wants a report to specifically explain why the chief officers at the time had apparently ignored advice from Defra (the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) that the time-scale allowed for securing planning permission was too short.

And Mr Dobson wants to know whether measures are now in place to ensure such a warning in future is heeded and why the council's own audit committee and external auditors have never passed criticism.

Mr Dobson said: 'I'm not optimistic about the motion's chances, but we have to do it. If we don't do it we will be letting the public down. We have to continue to give it a good airing. It's outrageous that we lost £34m.'

A previous independent report from a QC cleared officers of taking undue risk when entering into the contract for the burner, but a report into the actions of councillors was never published.

Former council leader Stephen Revell started putting that together in 2014, but, with some key people not agreeing to be interviewed, he eventually told the authority he felt he could not produce a report.

A Freedom of Information Act request by the EDP recently showed the council's anxiety over the lack of a report and how the authority approached former Norfolk coroner William Armstrong to complete it, although he felt unable to do so.

However, the council admitted this week there were other documents which should have been released as part of that request which had not been.

It said it had 'tracked down' additional information as part of a subsequent FOI request.

That included a 2011 letter from then environment, transport and development director Mike Jackson in which he stated the council did 'not share the same assessment of the future prospects for the planning process' as Defra but that action to 'mitigate' concerns was taken.
