"So many questions remain about PRSA"

Whatever the ruling Bypass Independent Party way wish, the issue of the Princess Royal Sports Arena is not going to go away.
Their approach to sweeping the issue under the carpet following the decision to write off almost two million pounds of taxpayers' money was to ridicule the walk out of Conservative and other opposition councillors who demanded greater investigation of the whole affair by describing them as a "rather bizarre, dysfunctional coalition of opposition councillors" and sending their sanitised version of events to the editors of the local papers.
Now, Wyberton's Independent Councillor John Storry has hit back in an open letter offering his own "expanded explanation for the actions of the 'offending councillors.'"
Councillor Storry, a one-time member of the BBI who quit to become an Independent , and who interestingly is the joint representative for Wyberton with none other than the council leader Richard Austin, says:

"Last week's peevish, ill-informed letters about the councillors' walk-out over the PRSA's financial situation provides dramatic evidence that the town cannot handle the truth. "It's odd the majority party voted down the opposition's exit strategy because writing off the £1.9m won't be the end of it!
"For a start a £200k loan repayment is missing, as well as the ongoing running costs and yet another bill for delayed repairs before any third-party handover occurs! "Questions which need to be asked include :- Why were the Charity's audited accounts mostly not published until 9-10 months after each year-end, which made accurate profitability assessments almost impossible to achieve?
"Who didn't do their homework and lost £600,000 worth of sponsorship overnight?
"Why have no third-party donations been received since 2005? ... but perhaps the most important secret of all is that the Opposition Councillors recently convened a special meeting of the Audit Committee to uncover the truth!
"What happened next?
"BSI Directors politely declined their invitations to attend!
"So now that the moaners have had a go at the Independents and Conservatives who were actually trying to protect the town's interests by limiting the write-off to a specified amount, how about some public disapproval being pointed in the other direction if only to level the playing field?
"Who's going to be brave enough to demand that the Audit Commission (7, Lewis Court, Enderby, LE19 1SU) and/or the Charity Commission (PO Box 1227, Liverpool L69 3UG) convene a Public Enquiry to settle the argument once and for all?!"

Boston Eye says bravery shouldn't really enter into it, as this whole affair needs exposing to the daylight of an open and transparent (recognise the phrase?) investigation.
We understand that the Interim Chief Executive is also playing some sort of part in the internal wranglings of the council, and look forward to hearing something by way of progress soon.
