I was pleased to read your article ‘Scientists will help to boost local economy’ (West Briton April 1 2010). The news that Cornwall is to become Europe’s first research hub to examine the relationship between human health and the environment is just what Cornwall needs. The new high skilled jobs, with hopefully a ‘knock on’ effect for local business, will help to stimulate our economy and hopefully ensure there are highly skilled jobs for local (and particularly our young) people.
The Green Party totally supports initiatives such as this, and the funding from the European Union shows how EU membership can be (sometimes) a force for the good. The Green Party’s ‘Green Party New Deal’ would provide investment and jobs in the ‘new economy’ such as these. Britain has the potential to become the leader in environmental research, research and development of renewable energy, and other ‘new’ industries. This would be a much better use of government investment and support rather than the UK’s current reliance on banking, the financial and service sectors- a reliance that has got us into our current financial troubles. Anyway well done Cornwall for getting this investment, and nice to read some good news for once!
