Right now, plans are going through parliament about the future of our energy. But George Osborne is blocking a crucial element: a watertight target for the UK to produce carbon-free electricity by 2030.
Tim Yeo MP, the former Conservative environment minister, has put down a green amendment to the the government’s energy plans. It’s exactly what’s needed to make sure a firm target is in place.
MPs have a choice. Do they stand up for a cleaner, greener Britain, or do they side with Osborne and his dirty fossil fuels? It’s up to us to persuade them to side with Tim Yeo. Can you email your MP now to make sure they support the amendment?

OIL GROUP
You are probably aware that by buying oil as a group you can enjoy cheaper rates.
I am prepared to order oil for people living in Ferryside
However, there are certain conditions:
I use J E Lawrence, whose rates are very competitive, and if you pay the driver or send payment to them within a week of delivery you qualify for a discount.
By ordering oil this way the company sends out less tankers, which in turn must be kinder to our environment.

Cross party support for the continued provision of public toilets in small tourist villages in Carmarthenshire
A meeting took place today in the CAVS building in Carmarthen to build support for the continued provision of public toilets. Present were Simon Hart MP and Angela Burns AM (Conservative ), Rhodri Glyn Thomas AM and Jonathan Edwards MP (Plaid Cymru) and Nia Griffiths MP (Labour) along with representatives from a number of affected Community Councils.
MPs, AMs and Local Councils working together
Mike Evans and Les Jones from St Ishmael Community Council were there along with Delme Bowen Ferryside resident, Ferryside Village Forum member and organiser of the public petition opposing the closure of the toilets. The community council has recently rejected the latest offer from the County Council to take over the running of the toilets as it would impose a disproportionate financial burden on local people. Delme Bowen presented a 300+ name petition to Jonathan Edwards (MP) and Rhodri Glyn Thomas (AM )on behalf of the residents of Ferryside.
Their was unanimous agreement from the MPs, AMs, local councillors and residents to oppose the proposed action of Carmarthenshire County Council to close toilets unless they are taken over by community councils. A meeting with members of the executive board is sought as a matter of urgency to encourage them to withdraw the proposal from a forthcoming budget package. MPs and AMs all promised their full support.
Everyone present was urged to petition their County Councillors to oppose closure and to encourage them to vote against the proposal at executive board and in full council.
