As well as making a major contribution to a clean, reliable energy supply for the nation, the construction of the new Hinkley Point C power station would deliver at least 5,000 jobs for Somerset people, many valuable contracts for local firms and a huge investment boost in an area which has suffered from years of underinvestment. These considerable benefits would be particularly welcome in the current economic climate.
I therefore fully support the development of Hinkley Point C and in the first instance urge West Somerset Council to approve EDF Energy's application for Site Preparation Works without further delay, so that that this important project can be progressed and its many opportunities realised for the community.
The feedback from local workers has been relentless lately and I am working through the correspondence as quickly as I can. This project is a grind but the potential for our area keeps me putting one foot in front of the other.

Get it built. Clean energy is the future and the local economy is desperate for a kickstart.

Finally some investment in our area. About time! Everyone is always complaining about no jobs but then they moan about every single project.

Stop holding everything up. The local economy is dying and we need these construction jobs like yesterday.

Just build the damn thing. It will do wonders for local contractors who have been struggling for a long time now.

We need the work around here. My cousin has been looking for a job for ages and this is the best shot we have in years.
