Safe Water Campaign for Avon, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire

This is a non-party political group I helped form several years ago - we still meet monthly - usually in Stroud - to build our campaign - over 1,500 signatures locally - and a member who regularly comes up from Bristol where he has a group of local supporters.

Todays' meeting we updated ourselves on the latest info, planned more for our next newsletter and AGM in Spring, planned another stall in a local town to collect more support, completed a submission to a review of water fluoridation - plus refined a lengthy letter that challenges key scientific health personnel re fluoridation - we are lucky to have three members in the group who have more than a little scientific knowledge - they completely loose me when they are off on the details - great to have them - especially as they are able to challenge directly info we have been given.

Our website has been, to say the least quiet - and no reflection on what the group has been doing - I am hoping to keep it a little more up to date - do feel free to leave comments:

More info can be found at the NPWA website. One bit of news of concern was that Professor Bedi who has led the charge for fluoridation in the UK has retired now but the news is that he ahs now taken a top post at UNESCO looking at child health - not good news if he plans to further push fluoridation.
