LATEST NEWS from TSLM . . . . . Update January 2012:

Now is YOUR chance to tell the IPC what you think about the road scheme.

Lancashire County Council (LCC) submitted the application to IPC (Infrastructure Planning Commission, the new planning authority) on 6 December 20911. IPC had 28 days to consider it, but rushed the decision through by 23 December 2011.

This does not mean they accept the scheme, just that they will examine it.

The next stage is for EVERYONE WHO IS INTERESTED IN THE SCHEME to register with the IPC between 11 January and 20 February. Do this on the IPC website, follow link below:-

http://infrastructure.independent.gov.uk/projects/north-west/heysham-to-m6-link-road/

and give brief reasons why you oppose the scheme. You can give more detailed reasons later.

We hope that as many people as possible will register and tell the IPC why they oppose the scheme. This is very different from telling LCC. The County Council is the promoter of the scheme, and has never listened to those who opposed it and pointed out better alternatives. But the IPC is an independent body and is obliged to listen to our concerns. Click here to see TSLM's notes about writing a letter. [End of this message from TSLM]

West Lancashire Vegan Fair

Lancaster Friends Meeting House, Saturday May 12th from 11am till 5pm. The venue is next door to Lancaster Railway Station.

Whether you are a vegan, or a vegetarian or omnivore who wants to learn more about veganism, the 2012 West Lancashire Vegan Fair is an excellent place to do so, as it will be the biggest vegan event which has ever been organised in Lancashire.

After 2 successful events near Blackpool in 2009 and 2010 which were featured on BBC Radio Lancashire and in 2 local newspapers, and which were each attended by several hundred people, West Lancashire Vegan Fair moves to a much bigger venue, 2 floors of almost the whole of a building, which gives us a lot of extra space for more stalls, a separate room for a vegan cafe and children's area, and a separate room for speakers.

This year's attractions include:
50+ stalls over 2 floors
Free vegan food
Vegan cookery demos
Speakers
Free recipe booklets
Vegan cafe
Children's area
