We would like to congratulate our Lib Dem MP,Steve Webb, on his appointment as Minister of State in Works and Pensions! Well done Steve!
We would also like to thank him for his continued support in our campaign to remove the Shepperdine site from the NPS for nuclear
Steve has provided us with the following quote:-
"My judgment is that recent political developments improve the chances of fighting the inappropriate siting of a new nuclear power plant near Oldbury. The coalition agreement specifically talks about a new and more democratic planning process which should hopefully mean that local objections are given more weight. It also confirms the joint view that there should be no public subsidy – something that EDF among others have called for. Whilst the two larger parties are still in favour of new nuclear, the chances of fighting specific unsuitable sites now seem better, and there will be many Lib Dem MPs in and around government who share that view”.
