Petitions
Debate between Ian Liddell-Grainger and Robert Walter
Mr Ian Liddell-Grainger (Bridgwater and West Somerset) (Con)
The petition states:
The Petition of the residents of Woolavington and others,
Declares that they are concerned about plans by EDF Energy Renewables to develop a new wind farm at Withy Farm near Puriton; about the implications for local residents of noise from the turbines; the intrusive nature of the wind turbines and any possible additional power lines associated with them on the unique landscape of the Somerset Levels; and the potential damage to wildlife and their habitats.
The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to take all possible steps to take the impact on local communities and the landscape fully into account when considering plans submitted for the siting of wind farms and the provision of energy generation through renewable sources.
And the Petitioners remain, etc.

Mr Robert Walter (North Dorset) (Con)
I present a petition in the name of the Blandford community hospital in Dorset.
The petition states:
The Petition of Mrs Jacqueline Stayt and Mrs Josephine Seath, residents of the North Dorset community and others,
Declares that they are concerned about the future of Portman Ward at Blandford Community Hospital, Dorset.
The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Secretary of State for Health to encourage NHS Dorset to consider seriously the impact on the local community of proposed cuts to services at Blandford Hospital, in particular the proposed closure of Portman Ward, and to ensure that decisions affecting the hospital's future reflect the concerns and needs of patients, staff and the community at large.
And your Petitioners remain, as in duty bound, will ever pray.
