Employment
The welcome news of the reduction in unemployed today (19th April) must come with the caveat that it is only one month’s figures. However it does fit a pattern I have noticed in my constituency of more recruitment taking place.
The number of unemployed claimants in Newbury constituency in March 2012 was 1,300. This represents a rate of 2.3% of the economically active population aged 16 to 64, the 604th highest of the 650 UK constituencies. The number of claimants is 50 lower than in March 2011 and 19 lower than in February 2012.

Fuel campaign
You may have read of my work to highlight the increasing cost of fuel and what can be done to mitigate its impact. In the autumn I wrote to filling station owners to highlight the fact that fuel was more expensive in West Berkshire than in areas such as Reading and East Berkshire. They replied that this was due to a lack of competitive pricing incentives in this area.
OK, let’s create some competition!
Below you will find a list of the best places to buy petrol and diesel in or near the constituency and I encourage you vote with your wallet and create a real incentive for filling stations to compete for our custom. Please help by emailing me at

You need JavaScript enabled to view it with the location and prices of any cheaper petrol and diesel in your area you find so I can update the website, now and in future weeks. I am not advocating travelling long distances to buy fuel, but if passing any area where fuel is cheaper I am suggesting you fill up then.
