I haven't answered the survey directly as it leaves little space to explain but I said to one person who contacted me that I would put my answers to the local questions on my blog. Here goes...
1) Sea Eagles
Approximately £1M of public money is being used on this project which I think could be better used, or indeed not spent at all, at this time.
I am not against sea eagles per se but I am concerned about how the project is being implemented. I have met briefly with the RSPB and we have agreed to continue the discussion if I am elected. A full consultation is due but the current brief with the farming community is how to mitigate the risks of introduction, not whether the risks to local farming and businesses is acceptable in the first place.
2) Sizewell
I have voiced my support for Sizewell, unlike the Liberal Democrats who oppose nuclear power.
There are concerns about the impact on the community but this is more about the construction phase rather than Sizewell itself. That should be considered and there is a stakeholder group already and the local councils will be involved.
3) Heart attack care
Yes, there should and can be more available at Ipswich. Consultants also want to see more services available at Ipswich and that would be backed by the Conservatives. We are the only party committed to real increases in NHS funding for the lifetime of the next Parliament.
4) Local housing trusts are one solution to the question of affordable housing.
