Electricity price postcode difference 19/10/14
Sir,
Oh dear, more politically-
The regional variation of energy prices is no secret at all:
why else do you have to give your postcode before you get details of the various
tariffs available.
If you want to know what the price differential is like, all you
have to do is give a postcode for Dundee or somewhere of that ilk and you'll know
straight away.
Cllr McCormack is of course asking Central Belt consumers to subsidise
those of us who live in areas that are more expensive to serve: in short, to add
to their bills.
Do you think they'll be expecting us to pay a levy on our cheap island
land/houses to make housing in the Central Belt more socially just! What would you
think to that?
The problem with Cllr MacCormack's approach to issues like this, is
that they are blinkered and selective, making much of those issues where we in the
islands are in some way disadvantage, whilst remaining eerily silent on matters where
we are better off. This approach does us no favours with those whose support we wish
to recruit.
Stop whinging -
