Hospice visit and Windfarms

I visited St Marys Hospice today and was impressed by the dedication of the staff and their positive attitude. As with so many of organisations of this type they desperately want some stability in funding and worry that as the belt is tightened they will lose out. I think, given our support for the third sector they will see their role expand under a Conservative Government rather than decline.

Following this I joined many others for the official ‘ribbon cutting’ on the Walney Offshore Windfarm. This will see some 102 wind turbines, delivered in 2 stages, erected out to sea from the coast of Walney producing electricity. Like many I am sceptical of some of the claims made by wind power proponents, but I do believe that they have a role to play in diversifying our energy suppliers so I am fully supportive of this important project and look forward to the fierst electricity joining the national grid on 1^st October .
