Great to see our neighbouring candidate JohnDuckworth4HighLegh supporting Knutsford Solar Action Group in relation to the Tabley Hills development.

It will impact Knutsford residents as well- many of our residents were at the community meeting a couple of weeks ago at Knutsford Methodist Church.

Good to see JohnDuckworth4HighLegh finding out the issues that matter to residents. Don’t think we are surprised that bins, potholes and pavements are the biggest things- after Labour/independents have mismanaged Cheshire East for the last 7 years.

Esther McVey has written to the Minister after our new Manchester focussed Prime Minister removed finding from a University of Manchester programme.

Jodrell Bank is a world - leading astronomical research facility in Cheshire. And the Lovell telescope is a very familiar sight for those of us who live in the area.

Data from Jodrell is used by researchers across the globe and many hundreds of physicists have used the facilities since it was established nearly 70 years ago as part of the University of Manchester.

The government have just announced they are removing the £2.8m funding that goes to the e-MERLIN programme, whose UK Headquarters are at Jodrell Bank. That clearly has significant implications for the future of the observatory, the staff based there and the local economy.

I have raised my concerns directly with the Secretary of State and asked questions about how the decision was arrived at and its implications, given the Prime Minister’s focus on the North.

Clearly there is widespread local support for Jodrell Bank and I will work with whoever I need to, to ensure the funding is reinstated.

I also support Ben Fletcher for Cheshire & Warrington and his pledge that, should he become Mayor next year, he will ensure that the funding is found for Jodrell Bank and e-MERLIN.

There is nothing to recommend this pipeline which will see us become a dumping ground for other countries CO2.
We are literally storing a problem for our children and grandchildren to deal with.
Please sign the petition.

If you are worried about the potential impact of Peak Cluster, please sign the petition today. I will be presenting it to the Government, alongside my request for a debate on the issue.
