So important is this battle that Michael Gove, the Levelling up Secretary, has called in the planning application which was rejected by the local Tory-controlled Buckinghamshire council and appealed by the MoJ, sparking a public inquiry. “It was definitely David vs Goliath,” he added. “I know this is strategically the wrong place to put a prison of this size and mass,” said Mr Hayes, whose expertise was so valued at the public inquiry into the plans that the local council’s barrister asked him to help cross-examine the MoJ witnesses.
They are led by Edgcott resident Daniel Hayes, who is well-qualified for the role: he worked for 28 years in the criminal justice system, first in the prison service, then managing offenders and as a consultant in designing jails.
