Hinkley C – French union threatens strike action
PARIS (Reuters) –
“One of EDF’s (EDF.PA) unions has threatened to launch a strike if the French utility decides to go ahead with its project to build two nuclear reactors in Britain.
Force Ouvriere (FO), one of EDF’s smaller and more radical unions, said in a statement it would call a strike if EDF management schedules a board meeting to decide on the 18 billion pound Hinkley Point project before the May 12 EDF annual general shareholders meeting.
“If a board meeting is scheduled, we will launch a strike to demand that the Hinkley Point project is delayed,” FO union leader Jacky Chorin told Reuters. …
… Strikes at EDF typically reduce France’s power output by several gigawatts – one gigawatt corresponds roughly to the output of one EDF’s 58 nuclear reactors – but the utility can import enough power from neighbouring countries to offset this.”
Tonight’ Cabinet 5.30 pm – a humdinger?
Relocation … devolution … Cranbrook …
Fireworks? Red faces? Mumbling? Bumbling? Anything could happen …
Agenda here:
Boo- hoo, Bovis still too poor to provide affordable housing in Seaton, and yet …
Poor, poor Bovis – literally.
Their housebuilding is going too slowly in Seaton and time is running out on their S106 agreement that reduced affordables on the 300+ housing site from 40% to 25% to 0%. So, they have to put in another submission showing that they simply cannot afford them and EDDC’s “independent valuer” agrees. Officers agree too and it just remains to be rubber-stamped at a forthcoming DMC.
BUT
In the meantime, councillors on and off the DMC, particularly in Seaton might want to think about it before jumping on that ” too poor” bandwagon:
Guardian 16 February 2016:
“Bovis Homes predicts further growth after record profits
Housebuilder increases annual dividend by 14% to 40p a share after pre-tax profits for 2015 jump 20% to £160m”
Bovis Homes has predicted another year of growth after reporting record profits, which were helped by rising house prices and the government’s help to buy scheme.

Yesterday, it was considered a “Buy” stock by Hragreaves Landsdown and Dautsche Bank and HBSC agreed:
Goldman Sachs agrees too:
Terrible to be so poor isn’t it …
