THE grieving parents of a boy killed at a racetrack have accused a council of "incompetence at the highest level" for failing to complete a vital report two years after the tragedy.
Andy and Pauline Buchanan say they've been left "living in limbo with no answers" since their son Millar, 11, died in an off-road bike crash at the East of Scotland Kart Club in Crail, Fife.
A delay in the submission of a health and safety report by Fife Council is stalling the family's plans to push for a fatal accident inquiry.
Millar's parents say they need the council report before there's any chance of an FAI taking place.
Andy, 52, said: "It's now two years since Millar died and we've been left living in limbo.
"Fife Council still haven't finalised a health and safety report on the incident despite promising us again - that it would have been published last October.
"We need this report before we find out if an FAI will be held so that we can finally get some answers.
"All we get is excuse after excuse. It's incompetence at the highest level and feels like we are in a living nightmare." Millar, from Larbert, in Stirlingshire, had been training at the track when an issue with the brakes on the pal's bike he was riding caused them to fail.
