PAUL STAINTON: Fed up with the current price of petrol? Fed up with being ripped off at the pumps? Fed up with putting £60/£70 worth in your car? Fed up with seeing the price go up and up and up? Well so is our MP Stewart Jackson, so much so that he’s written to the Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne asking him to review the Conservative Party Manifesto pledge for a fuel duty stabiliser. It comes as the price of petrol is at a record high, oil is going through the roof, over $100 a barrel, and around Peterborough many stations now over £1.30 a litre. It really is hard for your every-day folk. Morning Stewart.
STEWART JACKSON: Good morning Paul.

A summary of the Peterborough Breakfast Show from BBC Radio Cambridgeshire broadcast from 06:00 to 09:00 on Thursday 16th December 2010.
Topics:
Peterborough MP Stewart Jackson says that yesterday’s woeful SATs results for Peterborough, with so many schools failing to meet the required standard, probably indicate a systemic failure within the Education Department at Peterborough City Council. Leader Marco Cereste blames the influx of immigrants, and says that new initiatives are in hand to rectify the problem.

Leader Marco Cereste rejects the argument, reports that in his area as many as 15 or even 20 people turn up to meetings, and says that one or both of the councillors raising the issue may have a personal axe to grind.
Yaxley Parish Council is fighting to save the Community Shop and prevent the reorganisation of the library. They suggest that the desired savings could be made by amalgamating the service.
