You cannot have failed to read in the
papers or seen reports on the television that there has been a staggering
increase in the number of metal thefts in the last year. We would encourage
all residents to sign an online e-petition, which would cause a
parliamentary debate on the subject of moving towards a cashless business
model for scrap metal dealers. You can sign the petition here: http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/406 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Many people helped us force the scrapping of the 5p fuel duty rise and made George Osborne become the first Chancellor for a decade to reduce duty. YOU MADE THAT HAPPEN. Believe it or not, prices would have been 6p even more on the increasing levels we have been seeing since the Budget. So, while we managed to get the government's undivided attention to the Budget day, they have failed us since. The miserable 1p reduction in duty was swallowed up overnight and proved that tinkering round the edges and making empty political gestures achieves nothing. In fact I'd say the government made themselves look very foolish during the budget. Fuel duty is out of control. All our dire warnings are coming true. The £1.50 litre of diesel is probably only weeks away and the IMF agree that rising crude oil prices are a serious threat to UK growth. £2.00 a litre for diesel could become a awful reality. Our new plans are set out on our website below. Fuel is cheap, its the tax duty that's villainously expensive. So contact as many people as you can and let's start multiplying those numbers. Only together can we make this absolute insanity stop. Thank you, Quentin Wilson ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Click here to read about the charity fundraising efforts of the FVRA Click here to return to the Local Directory.
