GEORGE OSBORNE BACKS RAP And we're still asking WHERE'S THE SALT

RAP are delighted to announce that their campaign to stop Gas Plant II - Scottish Power's get-rich-quick scheme, despoiling rural Cheshire - has the full backing of Tatton MP George Osborne, one of Parliament's youngest members, and a rising star, whose vigorous and well-briefed performance in debates has made ministers tremble. George Osborne will speak at RAP's first public meeting at 6.30 pm, March 15th, Goostrey Village Hall. RAP are also organising a separate meeting the following night at 6.00 pm, March 16th at Cranage Village Hall Said RAP Chairman John Halstead:

We welcome George Osborne to the growing band of people who have taken a careful, considered look at Scottish Power's proposals and found them deeply flawed. A man like George does not lightly give his support to any old cause, and his support is a key piece of evidence that Scottish Power are just plain wrong in what they are trying to do. Added Press Spokesman John Edwards: Scottish Power's response to our Where's the Salt' campaign, highlighting that there's not enough salt for safety around and under their planned gas cavities - is laughable. They just say all's well' and don't answer the key question: why are they planning only a few metres of salt under their cavities, when UK expert British Gas Storage, say there should be at least 100 metres? This is frightening and people should be worried.
