King's Lynn Incinerator: Politicians at War

Link to Eastern Daily Press

"The leader of Norfolk County Council was behind an email which appeared to undermine the leader of another council in the midst of controversy over the King’s Lynn incinerator, an investigation has revealed.

"The damning conclusion of an independent probe was that county council leader Derrick Murphy had asked his publicly-funded political assistant to suggest questions BBC Radio Norfolk might want to put to West Norfolk Council leader Nick Daubney, a fellow Conservative.

"An email sent by Conservative political assistant Kevin Vaughan stated that Mr Daubney was facing a leadership challenge, and was struggling to come up with an alternative technology to the proposed waste plant at Saddlebow."
