In my mind, that's not a fair way of going about it. I might be naive but surely an investigation shouldn't be done by friends and colleagues of the people who made the decision in the first place.

If it was an independent enquiry surely it should be representatives from outside the area, perhaps a different council, to review it, or council officers at the very least or at the very very least equal members from both sides.

I'm sorry but that doesn't sound like it's going to be an unbiased review at all.
