Secret judge saga - Protestors "refused to listen to what we have told them"!

What do you think of this?
I cannot understand this. Why judges for a park award should be kept secret?
Cover up so there must be
something to hide ?
And accusing protester's of
misinformation is appalling, the
judges should have arranged to
meet them and not excepted that
as true. Judges told ...Protesters
"refused to listen to what we
have told them"! And the judges
asking for advice...!!!

One of the judges says "having a
wobble about whether of not to
enter the fray! I would be grateful
if you could give me a bit of a
steer about how delicate the
situation is or not.. as i don't want
to get embroiled in a political
muddle. Is this a big issue for you
and your team?
I like a challenge but would
appreciate a heads up so I can
make a more informed decision
about whether to come to Bute
or not. Are we likely to be lobbied
on the day? A girl needs to know.

Any help or advice advice you can
offer will be much appreciated.

so the judges are Wined and
dined by the parks department!
