Suffolk: Liberal Democrats condemn Tory refusal to protect rights of local people
At today's Full Council meeting of Suffolk County Council, Councillors debated a Liberal Democrat motion which called for the county council to protect the rights of local people to question the need for and locality of nuclear power stations. This is the same right that our community enjoys with regard to any other large-scale development. This has been put under threat by the Governments recent consultation on New Nuclear Build, which proposes to take away these rights and aims to have key decisions made in Whitehall without public consultation.
