001 Mr I Haines Encourage and educate
Encouragement is good, most would respond, water for example should not go down drains unless it is not usable, educate
how to divert rainwater from roof gutters onto gardens and so back to the water table via soak aways and again perhaps
help finance such efforts or when front gardens are concreted over make sure surface water again is not allowed just to go
002 Mr & Mrs Hawes down the drain (could also help guard against property subsidance)
I don't know where our water supply comes from. So far as I'm aware, the only reservoir built in South East Essex is
Hanningfield in the fifties (I would guess). Must be realistic about electricity supply. It will keep growing with more houses
003 Mr A Cooper
and more gadgets. Therefore must have more power stations.
004 Mr M Cubitt Yes we should retain and rework materials.
Maybe some incentive could be set up to encourage residents to have solar panels installed. Perhaps the Council could set
up something for the supply of these panels in much the same way as the compost and water tubs. Sorry just noticed you
005 Mrs P R Byres
already do this - I will be contacting them soon. Great idea - very forward thinking.
We should do more. Too much wastage and complacency. Water meters should be mandatory and electricity/heating
007 Ms P Pemberton (especially in shops should be more controlled).
Any new buildings should be as self sufficient in energy as possible and should also be aswell insulated as possible. Water
008 Ms S Woolhouse conservation is important and I am in favour of legislation to enforce it.
010 Mr A Devlin Stronger encouragement is required for less energy and water use
Get your planners more energy conscious - wind power electricity from solar power, etc and encourage inhabitants to install
011 R F Wise
such appliances.
013 Etchells We save all we can, the Council should be planning for a drier future; more resevoirs, more sewage facilities.
014 D Hanrahan We could always do more and encourage we should come down hard on polluters and waste. Global warming again
More can always be done. However, all things affect others; some things may not be obvious eye saws. I for one would like
some solar power or solar heating, but do not know what to get or what laws there are, or even how to go about getting
permission for solar sells or even a wind turbine on my roof. As more companies persuade householders to by these things,
015 F A Robinson
perhaps it might be wise for the planning department and council think of this before it is too late.
Remove requirement for planning permision for silent wind turbines. Put a cap on the decibel rating that is allowed without
planning permission. Could fields near homes be allocated for wind farms ie local power supporting local houses.
016 Mr R Fuller
Encourage water companies to fit metres as compulsory - far too much water is wasted.
017 Mr L A G Dunford I think present arrangements are adequate.
018 Mrs Gaunt Help people with solar panels. Stop building where the water and sewage companies tell you they can't cope with any more.
We could do more to help. We could be less stringent and people would react more to save water if not being ordered to.
020 Mr & Mrs Appleton Also less building would help energy and water (more houses more water needed).
022 Mobbs Agreement on anything to assist with protecting energy and water resources should be encouraged.
Requirement by Government is the only way to get firms to build in renewable energy provision. Eg put solar panels on all
023 Ms C J Christopher new buildings - into building regs. I believe Sweden already does so.
