News: Nonsuch Secrets Revealed

Fairly modern secrets rather than anything historical, I'm afraid. From the Epsom Guardian:

"The secret Surrey County Council report into proposals for Nonsuch Mansion has only just been released under the Freedom of Information Act.

It has taken 14 months for Surrey to react to the request even though a leaked copy has been widely publicised by the Stoneleigh and Auriol Residents Association (SARA).

The report for which the consultants charged £26,216, is expected to have finally cost the tax payer more than £100,000 in officer time and expenses, a cost which Surrey will not confirm."
