Hide AdCrowhill Wood is near Dalgety Bay, where radioactive particles were found last year. Mr Brown has made two requests for a meeting with Defence Secretary Philip Hammond, and has called for “urgent action” to clean up the bay.
In response to his parliamentary question, defence minister Andrew Robathan said the MoD had received a report from the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency in December of
radioactive concentration levels at Crowhill “which do not appear to be naturally occurring” and the MoD was trying to establish whether any MoD activities were undertaken there.
