WE are very concerned that the addition of fluoride in our water is apparently to go ahead.

We have had communication with MP David Crausby in the past setting out our objections to this mass administration of a poisonous chemical.

We feel that enough chemicals are already added to our so-called "pure water", and cannot understand why parents and children cannot be educated in the proper cleaning of teeth and the reduction of sweets in the diet.

It is almost impossible to buy toothpaste or mouthwashes without fluoride in them. No consideration seems to have been given to the people who will be adversely affected by fluoride, with sometimes very serious consequences.
