Chamber Of Commerce Demands Answer To Supremo For Dounreay Run Down Question

17th January 2007

The Caithness & Sutherland Chamber of Commerce is urging the lead Agencies in the decommissioning of the Dounreay site and the economic regeneration of Caithness & North Sutherland to make clear without further delay their acceptance or otherwise of the proposal, put forward six months ago at a Meeting of the Dounreay Stakeholder Group, for the appointment of a 'supremo' to oversee and drive the process forward.

If the proposal has been rejected by the Agencies what are the objections to it and what plans do the Agencies have to take matters forward?

Whilst acknowledging that the lead role is the responsibility of the Agencies concerned the Chamber considers it essential that any proposal/plan has public confidence and support.

The Chamber also wish the Conference, proposed after the publication of of the socio-economic strategy document, to be held as soon as possible.
