Fife councillors are furious the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has failed once again to update them about Dalgety Bay beach radiation clean-up. Accusing the MoD of “dragging its heels”, local MP Roger Mullin will seek answers at a meeting next month. Mr Mullin aired his discontent at the lack of progress on tackling the problem, which first came to light more than 25 years ago. He said: “Indeed, my recent correspondence with the Ministry of Defence gives me no confidence that they are honouring earlier promises. “They have seriously slipped from commitments made two years ago. “That for more than 25 years this has been a known issue with no proper action speaks volumes regarding the extent to which the people of Dalgety Bay have been taken for granted.”
