A Day of Action..In Pontefract 26/4

This Saturday looks to be one of the hectic ones. The Pontefract Wind Farm Action Group are holding an information session at Pontefract Market on the 26th.

The South Pontefract Wind Farm is widely acknowledged as just too close to peoples homes and lives and myself and Trevor our local Labour Councillor declared common cause back in 2007 to oppose the development. Now you will know that the 1st of May is local election time and traditionally we should be making our seperate cases and delivering election addresses, but for the bulk of Saturday morning Trevor and I will be manning the PWAG stand to support our community in resisting what is a Central Government approved initiative.

Later in the day I will be collecting more signatures and support to be able to oppose local post office closures. Phil Thomas and Mark Crowther will be around and we hope to add to the growing list of people who want to support the elderly and vulnerable threatened by these closures.

See you their? If so say hello.
