Reading between the lines of the North Norfolk statement, it doesn't seem to put the MHR in a good light, however I'm sure there are valid reasons...
Have they all gone to sleep at Ropley MPD or Alresford offices? Lol. It seems that last week's Wednesday blog has gone AWOL as it certainly hasn't...
