Listen to what people are saying

In a previous post (see 31st December 2008) I set out my views on adding fluoride to the drinking water supplies. This article also appeared in the ward newsletter distributed to about 7000 residents of Ashton-Upon-Mersey ward in Trafford, Greater Manchester. In the newletter article I invited residents to let me know what they thought about this issue. Many responded and while some favoured adding fluoride to the drinking water, I can report that a massive 94% of those who responded were opposed to the proposal. The NHS bodies responsible for making the final decision on this matter need to take note!

  1. Let's have a vote on whether we should add vodka to the water supply, eh Councillor?

    That'll make Trafford a happier place all round!

  2. Fluoride in the water, what a socialist, interventionist nightmare! Maybe we should all have social workers to come round every night and brush our teeth? Nanny state, nanny Britain! I say: less PC, more focus on individual RESPONSIBILITIES not individual RIGHTS! I blame Europe, Blair and the Human Rights Act!

  3. Anonymous doesn't add much to this important debate with her frivolous comment about adding vodka to the water supply.

    Binge drinking concerns me. Seems we're becoming Binge Drink Britain. Don't you agree, Councillor?
