More good news.  We have today received a letter of congratulation and support from our local MPs, Mike Rumbles MSP, and Sir Robert Smith, MP.  Their letter points out that Mike Pringle MSP introduced a Members Bill in the Scottish Parliament calling for a levy to be introduced on plastic bags, and said that that the Liberal Democrats are very supportive of initiatives such as ours.

 I have also had emails from Rebecca Hosking inviting me to join a nation-wide, on-line forum of the leaders of Plastic Bag Free groups which has been running for some time and which has been a means by which advice and support can be shared between different towns.  It is an excellent idea and I am more than happy to join.
