LETTER: Why is duel fuel in Cheshire more expensive?

Dear Editor
I contacted you about this on 14th October 2022 and also copied in our MP asking him to contact Ofgem and provide a comment quickly to his constituents through Nantwich News.

The question was – why Cheshire had to pay for Duel Fuel £121 more than the cheapest area?

READER’S LETTER: Councillors should lobby for better broadband in Crewe

Dear Editor,
I am calling on the local Labour run Town and Borough Councils and the Tory MP to lobby the Government hard to improve broadband speeds in parts of Crewe.

READER’S LETTER: Disappointed over MP’s sewage vote “bluster”

READER’S LETTER: Disappointed over MP’s sewage vote “bluster”

Dear Editor,
I was disappointed by the irrelevant bluster that Dr Mullan threw at us as justification for his voting to allow water companies to dump raw sewage onto our rivers and on to our beaches.

Under current laws many water companies have been fined for just this practice.

Dear Editor,
Parliament has just voted to tie its own hands on future trade deals.
