Eric Robson invites people to talk about issues directly concerning them.
Braefoot Bay on Scotland's Firth of Forth has rare plants, a 12th-century monastery, an abundance of wildlife, and will shortly be enhanced by the addition of the world's largest natural gas terminal.
To most of us, North Sea oil means natural wealth. To many people around Braefoot Bay, it means living with the risk of an explosion many times greater than the Hiroshima atom bomb.
Objectors to the Braefoot Bay terminal believe that one of the lessons of the San Carlos campsite disaster in Spain is that no new petrochemical plant should be built near a populated area. Supporters point to a recent Health Safety Executive report which analysed the risk and concluded that the terminal should go ahead.
Many BBC Local Radio Stations in England are giving their audiences a chance to state their views on this issue - in phone-ins following Brass Tacks.

with A. J. P. Taylor
The fabric was cotton. The age-the great industrial explosion of the 19th century. Manchester was Cottonopolis - city of mills, machines and muck - the first working model of industrial capitalism.
A. j. p. TAYLOR , himself from a Lancashire cotton family, explores the rise and fall of this great merchant civilisation and assesses the importance of what really was ' Made in Manchester'.
