New Year Message from Andrew

January 1, 2007 1:00 AM

Andrew Stunell head and shouldersI am very pleased to wish you a very happy New Year.

As Parliament is taking a short break I've had the chance to get round the constituency more and meet people, and to listen to local views. It's a time when many of us look back and review the past year, and promise ourselves we'll do better in the next one. What's your New Year resolution, I wonder? Dieting is always popular - for the first week, anyway!

Nationally we need a few new year resolutions, too, and they need to last longer than a week. Looking back, the chickens have really come home to roost on the illegal invasion of Iraq, and sorting anything at all out from that catastrophic blunder will be a long-term job. Britain isn't doing too well on climate change, either, with more Carbon Dioxide pushed into the air in 2006 than before, when it is supposed to be less.

I think the country needs to go on a Carbon-free Diet - and stick to it! As it actually saves on fuel bills and petrol if we do, there are all-round benefits - fatter wallets, more comfy homes, and a cleaner planet. It is just that, like a real diet, it takes a bit of work and thought. I'll be doing my bit to make it happen down in Westminster in 2007, and I hope you will here in Stockport, too.

Finally, my thanks on behalf of us all to those who haven't been able to take a break this Christmas - especially those who provide the vital services we just take for granted as we snooze and party!

    If you are a resident of the Hazel Grove constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
