Laura Sandys Welcomes Conservative Action to Freeze Fuel Duty
******************************************************
Laura Sandys, MP for South Thanet, has welcomed Conservative Chancellor George Osborne's decision this week to freeze Fuel Duty until the end of the year. Thanks to this Government's repeated action, including this week's delay, Fuel Duty is now 10p per litre lower than Labour planned, and motorists will save £159 on filling up the average family car by the end of the year.
Laura said: "Thanks to the extensive lobbying by myself and other Conservative MPs, Fuel Duty has now been frozen for two years. This is good news for motorists, families and businesses coping with tight finances and shows that the Government is actively listening to the views of hard working families.
"By taking action on fuel pump prices, freezing council tax and cutting income tax for millions of people, the Conservatives are providing real help to people with the cost of living and a boost for Thanet's economy."

I heard on the grapevine that Shell is to reintroduce what they call 300 'garage angels' by the end of the summer. Their aim is to promote a free customer-friendly service to encourage loyalty. How refresing for service quality to fuel change - as long as there's no extra costs to the driver. - Brian Dixon
