Reader's letter: Energy fears

It seems Nottinghamshire County Council is to invest in a start-up energy company (Council To Invest In Energy Firm, Advertiser, December 17).

Bruce Laughton, councillor for the area, says he is all for this.

So they are going to put our council tax money into this when councils are saying they are struggling for money.

Robin Hood Energy had over £38m losses when it collapsed.

I hope the councillors know what they are doing. ­— D. HINCHLEY, Acacia Road, Balderton.
