DM Colcomb has shown the dangers from electromagnetic fields to record office staff and users if the proposed new record office is built next to the large electrical substation in Cocklebury Road.
What he has not pointed out is the County Council's double standards on this issue.
In response to another electromagnetic radiation issue, airwave masts, the County Council approved the motion: "In pursuit of the Wiltshire Strategic Board objective to become the 'healthiest county' by 2012, the County Council would like to seek assurances that this technology is safe for these residents and would also ask that the Wiltshire Police Authority adopt appropriate locational policies to alleviate these actual or perceived concerns."
Yet when the north Wilts cronies who dominate the county cabinet want to move the record office to the Cocklebury Road site, in traffic-choked Chippenham, next to a major source of electromagnetic radiation, the need for such "appropriate locational policies" are ignored.
First they propose to put the record office there, where it is inaccessible to the majority of its users, now they totally disregard a health hazard to both staff and users! To add insult to injury, they expect Wiltshire council taxpayers to pay over £50 per household for the privilege!
