A thread from a story I wrote a year ago, based on a whistle blower from 2019 as we investigated #famrgate. I am busy going through today's findings but if anyone thinks this is all over, they are surely wrong. Hickford may have been the transgressor but who allowed it?
“A whistle-blower within Shire Hall, Cambridge, explained to me how they had been shot down whilst querying a farm tenancy being awarded to deputy leader Roger Hickford.
“We all felt awkward when we discovered Roger had applied for the tenancy,” the whistle-blower told me.
“We all felt awkward when we discovered Roger had applied for the tenancy,” the whistle-blower told me.

“We were told to treat him as another applicant.”
The whistle-blower said: “He became a familiar figure in the county estates dept.
“
