COME AND KILL THE GAS PLANT !

COME AND KILL THE GAS PLANT !

Fresh from battering Scottish Power with a dazzling presentation to Cheshire County Council's 'Development Regulatory Committee', on October 16th, RAP appealed to supporters to turn out in big numbers, on Tuesday 23rd October at County Hall Chester at 10 am. Said Rap Chairman, John Halstead: "One more heave from the public, please, to back over 9,000 protest letters! Please be there with banners and placards, at County Hall when the Council decide on Scottish Power's proposals.

We need you for about an hour, from 10 am, to give good shots for the press and TV cameras, showing the whole country how much we oppose the gas plant." Halstead stressed that RAP hope the County will oppose the gas plant, but if Scottish Power appeal against the decision, then RAP is ready and willing for the long haul, completely un-deterred by the costs of being represented at a public enquiry.

Press Spokesman Dr John Edwards, added: "We shall fight to the end, so we're already drawing up plans to raise money, including approaches to major potential donors sympathetic to our cause. We've proved we can win a complex technical argument, and now we shall turn those same organisational skills to fund-raising." Scottish Power take heed - RAP is not going away.
