Theddlethorpe residents back anti-nuclear campaigners
Anti-nuclear campaigners have claimed victory in Theddlethorpe after last week's district and parish council elections.
Prior to the election, anti-dump candidates were elected unopposed for eight of the ten available seats on Theddlethorpe Parish Council. Conservative East Lindsey District Council leader, Craig Leyland, said his party was open to discussions on the GDF proposal, but it was too early to say. "We remain committed to working with the Community Partnership and will continue to engage with the local community and the local authorities on what hosting a GDF would mean for them," they said.
"Its role is to enable the whole community to give their opinion, at the right time and on this issue, rather than the range of issues people decide on in local council elections.""As reflected in the turnout, there remains a large number of people living in the search area, that haven’t spoken out during the election, and who may have differing views on a GDF, that were not fully expressed through the results," they said.
