Mazars speak out

I've received a lengthly reply from Mazers, the external auditors for the Town Council. They have gone out of their way to be helpful as they could have just given me short shrift, with the accounts being closed and all.

I just want to clarify some subtle detail, but to summarise, my interpretation is that they have distanced themselves from the actions of the Town Council.

With a bargepole.

Meanwhile, the story isn't just confined to this blog and has propagated somewhat over the blogosphere. See here, here, here and here.

Not forgetting here as well.
