PRESS RELEASE SIZEWELL PARISHES LIAISON GROUP
The Group was formed in May by 24 Parish & Town
Councils that surround the nuclear EDF Sizewell New Build Site. The
Group is not committing its participating Councils to an acceptance
of New Build but rather getting the best for our communities should
nuclear expansion take place.
The Aim of the Constitution is to act as a co-ordinating
Group-“To encourage investment by EDF and government in the local
infrastructure.”
The Objectives of the Group include the following
infrastructure concerns -Transport (Road, Rail & Sea);
Education & Training; Health & Social Welfare; Housing
& Leisure; Security & Conservation; and Preservation of a
Rural Identity.
A Social Contract- The Group recognise that with the
impending expansion of the nuclear industry at Sizewell, an agreed
social and economic contract is now required between the local
community, the nuclear industry and specific government
departments. Current Government policy is to expand urgently the
nuclear power programme and EDF will ultimately profit from the
sale of generated electricity. Therefore, a binding contract can
ensure funding is provided from several sources to support local
infrastructure needs. The Group believe commitment and co-operation
is essential at this time to enable the community and its citizens
to benefit from improved public, environmental and cultural
facilities.
