046 Mr & Mrs J Cripps
See 1.0 - why create an increased load on something we already struggle to combat/cater for? It is so basic, we despair
with the way the world is heading.
Energy conservation is vital to the continuation of this planet. An example of how RDC could do more is that there is a
street light outside my neighbours home (26 Riverview Gardens) that has been on continuously for the past 4 years (all day
047 Ms J Colbourne and all night) I have tried to report this on several occassions - this is light pollution and a waste of energy.
Yes. There should be penalties for not complying, eg why does my neighbour at No. 24 have 2 bins, and why do the
048 Mr S Reeves
dustmen take them?
Yes. New things that can be done should be to include more resevoirs that can have the dual purpose of storing water while
049 Mr & Mrs Kitchen providing facilities for increased leisure activities plus wildlife conservation.
Enforce water meters. Electricity and gas is so expensive particularly with added VAT people probably do their best to
050 Mrs J Samuels conserve energy. The Council should continue its policy of helping poorer residents to putin loft insulation etc.
Water - ensure water bursts are attended immediately renew old watermain pipes. Ask for details from water co's and make
051 Mrs D Langdon sure carried out maintenance and renewal. Offer subsidies on solar panels etc.
Water/sewerage rates are very high. Cost could be brought down and the public shown how to be more conscious about
052 Mr & Mrs D Lench overuse, emissions, windfarms and how to save all round.
053 E Winn Make the water companies do more from their vast profits.
054 Mr & Mrs Todman Just encourage
055 Mr V Hawtree Windfarms on Foulness Island and Maplin Sands
Collection of plastic for recycling. Perhaps the Council could make its own compost from garden waste to be sold to make a
056 Mr S Lee
profit for the cultivation of the area.
All new buildigns should have renewable energy provision as a requirement. I welcome the idea of rainwater storage.
However, there are two further issues. Firstly, the recycling scheme should be expanded and improved - too much of our
waste is going into landfill sites. In addition, if we have new housing we must ensure that there is an adequate energy
057 Mrs J Williams
supply - power cuts are already frequent in the area in which I live.
058 M J Jackson Solar heating should be installed in all new housing.
059 Garfield No need if population stays the same.
060 Mr S J Herbert Encouragement is the best policy
061 Mr G W Slaughter Leave it as it is
Many of the questions asked assume that the population of the area is to expand. The area is overcrowded, and it's this
that puts demands on energy and water. Generally the support for energy efficiency is a good one. Power could be
generated by the tidal power from the Roach and Croach using possibly Bradwell as a centre after closure of its nuclear
062 Chris Taylor
role.
063 Mr B A Stammers Not too stringent to keep the cost of new homes at a level that people can support.
The requirement is not too stringent. Are all new builds adequately insulted? Water will be a problem if there are many
064 Mrs S Smith
years of low rainfall. Construction of another resevoir.
The saving of energy in all its forms is a modern and absolute requirement. The new "housing department" building, which
will be required in the hope for "yes" verdict on Rochford housing association should be an opportunity to demonstrate the
065 Mr T Bennett
advantages currently available.
If further development is carried out then there will be shortages of water, drainage systems, and energy supplies. Even
066 Mr G Langhorn more congestion on already crowded roads, greater pollution levels.
