REMEMBER the fuel crisis last autumn? Well the issues raised then haven't gone away and the prices at the pumps are almost back to where they were in September.
Under Labour the average family is now paying £5 more a week, every week, to fill up with petrol.
Of this nearly £4 goes in extra taxes to Chancellor Gordon Brown.
Where does all that extra tax go?
Better roads? Not around here.
Improved railways? Sadly, not that either.
When will Labour understand the car is not a luxury? We need commonsense policies which address the needs of our community.
