Friday the 27th Nov - Doncaster climate hearing, more like doncaster green wash! This event was organised by oxfam, some very good people attended and its fantastic that local people are addressing issues that we all face and talking about ways to be sustainable, unfortunatley there was 'a wave' of insincerity from a few but this doesn't matter working together does!

We love the earth centre campaigners went along to pose the question to our mp for climate change and energy -

Why has a multi-million pound sustainable living education centre been left to rot for five years?

From Mr Miliband's response it seemed strange that he showed very little knowledge of the Earth Centre, curious since we've contacted his offices and his colleague, Denaby MP Caroline Flint, neither has responded. Considering Milband's job title you would think that he would have recognised the significance and true potential of this amazing resource and beautiful space. Also you would think that he would be aware that the MOD are looking to aquire a sustainable living education centre in his area, however he is from oxford!!

Local community projects in Denaby struggle to access funding because the Earth Centre swallowed up the quota in the area and this still has reprecusions five years on. Resources were mysteriously flying out of the Earth Centre in the end and we would like to know where they went too as millions were spent on them.

We say reopen the Earth Centre and allow the community to benefit from its resources rather than having to watch the Police and MOD training with guns and dogs and wargame enthusiasts running about with pretend machine guns and smoke screens.

Ed Miliband this is a time for truth, no more greenwash!

Public meeting to decide the future of the Earth Centre all are welcome its to be held at the Denaby and Cadeby Miners Welfare Club, Tuesday 15th Dec at 7pm. Please come and have your say :
