GEORGE OSBORNE
TO ADDRESS
RAP PUBLIC MEETING
Following the announcement that a writ has been served on the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, to enable a High Court challenge of John Prescott & Patricia Hewitt’s approval of Scottish Power’s Byley Gas Plant, RAP and Cranage Parish Council (who formally served the writ), now await the High Court’s announcement of a date for the hearing.
Meanwhile donations are still flowing into RAP’s fighting fund. Said RAP Chairman John Halstead: “We are immensely proud to announce that our fund now tops £24,000, representing the generosity of so many Cheshire residents, furious over John Prescott’s iniquitous decision to overturn the results of the Public inquiry – the inquiry which he himself set up – and which recommended the gas plant should not be built. The man can’t be much of a politician if he couldn’t predict the anger that this irrational decision would provoke.”
Meanwhile RAP announce a public meeting to be held in Byley Village hall, at 7 pm on Friday August 13th.
Speakers will include the Rt Hon George Osbourne MP
Light refreshments will be served and the meeting is the opportunity for RAP’s many supporters and helpers to get together for latest information, for the chance to ask questions, and for details of future actions.
John Halstead commented: “There must be thousands of people who hate the gas plant, and who have protested, and written letters, and contributed funds, but who may feel they’re standing alone in the fight against Scottish Power. Well they’re not alone! They’re part of a team: thousands strong, standing shoulder to shoulder. So come and join us on Friday August 13th. And yes, Friday the 13th is indeed unlucky … it’s unlucky for Scottish Power and John Prescott.”
