Cheshire Gas plant 2!

Same as before with its hat turned backwards and its fingers crossed Following last week's meeting with Scottish Power and Manweb, RAP's technical team has studied detailed documents specifying the latest planning application for the Byley Gas plant. The team found that the "new" Gas Plant would be: Big Ugly Noisy Polluting Risky Wide open to Terrorist attack And totally un-necessary - except to make megabucks for Scottish Power. Said RAP Chairman John Halstead: "The County Council refused the last application because its 'scale and extent' were 'inappropriate within the open countryside'. This new application's just as bad so there's no way anyone could accept it." And RAP spokesman Dr John Edwards said: "The fight is on and the first major events will be the up-coming Press Launch of our Website, followed by big public meetings to rally the people of Cheshire. I can't stress enough that there is real danger of Scottish Power getting a quick 'yes' to this proposal, if the public fail to act because they think the fight's all over." But Ominously for Scottish Power, RAP committee member David Ord added: "Having studied Scottish Power's plans we will soon be challenging the fundamental viability of their Gas Plant project. Details to follow - so watch this space for hot news!"
