And they're off!
Tuesday: Gordon Brown may have been off to Buckingham Palace to ask the Queen for a dissolution of Parliament, but for Stephen Phillips it was an ordinary day in the constituency meeting local people in Branston and Potterhanworth and paying a visit to Branston Potatoes to see the company's new anaerobic digestion plant. Work on the plant began late last year and, nearing completion, the project will see one of the constituency's biggest employers cut its carbon footprint by generating cheap electricity from low value potatoes and peelings. "This is a fantastic project from a company which is a good corporate neighbour and a real asset to everyone in the area," Stephen said. "Branston Potatoes are taking product which would essentially go to waste and generating clean carbon free electricity in a way which will also save them money. I have seen the future: and it's right here today."
