Lib Dems Softening Approach to Dungeness C?

Interesting article on Romney Marsh Times about the Lib Dem plans for an 'Eco-Tourism summit' on the Marsh.

Shepway Lib Dem leader and Parliamentary Candidate Lynne Beaumont is quoted as saying 'This is not an either/or situation whether or not the Government decides Dungeness C should go ahead, but to run alongside any decision that is made.'

This could signal a softening of the Lib Dem line to on a new power station on the Marsh. Two weeks ago the Lib Dems generated a lot of publicity claiming that Marsh residents were not being told of the decision to store intermediate-level nuclear waste onsite.

Whilst individual councillors have often stated that they are not against nuclear power in principle, the Lib Dems have not given support for a new power station. The source of much debate locally, this could be a key issue for Marsh and Shepway voters when casting votes in the upcoming national election.
