UK - Daily Echo - Act before it's too late, Mr Denham

Act before it's too late, Mr Denham
IT is now one month since I wrote an open letter to John Denham MP, published in the Echo, asking exactly what he proposes to do with regard to the fluoride in tap water issue.'
I appreciate that it is the holiday season but we are now one month nearer a situation where fluoride will be added to the tap water in thousands of local homes, unless the Government steps in to stop it happening.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown said this is something for local people to decide. Local people have very clearly decided that they do not want it to happen. We cannot put up with a situation where an unelected quango acts against the wishes of local residents, councillors, MP's and even the Prime Minister! Please Mr Denham, act now, whilst you are still in power. Put these plans on hold. It's an issue more important than your credibility and that of the Labour Government, it's whether we can claim we still live in a democracy.
