140 Mrs J Davies
If you are refering to the individual then if encouraging isn't working then maybe incentives are needed. Ie keeping the
boundaries around the house free of litter could save on council money. They could be given a small rebate for reducing
their energy usage and recycling water usage. This would also lower their bills and those on a water meter but not those
who are not on a meter. They the individual would need to apply for these rebates. This may be difficult to police however.
We think it should be a requirement and also consideration should be given to grants being made available to retro fit
141 Mr & Mrs Sarchet environmental solutions that would have a positive impact eg rainwater storage, solar panels etc.
142 D Tilley/R Bhandari Conservation should be publicised and made into a central policy issue.
143 J E Burfield People are not stupid. Talk to them and they will do the right thing.
Doesn't the South East have less water per head than Afganistan? Too many people or not enough water? People
watering grass in August are selfish idiots water should be more expensive in the summer. Motion sensors on street lights
145 Mr A Lysons
anyone!
146 A C Barton Encourage dawn to dusk lights, private and authorities. Cashback if water metering does not reduce the bills?
Yes we should do more, encouragement like recycling doesn't work, people are too lazy! The requirement is not too
147 Mr I Randall
stringent, at the very least houses should have storm water soak-aways and not be connected to the drainage system.
148 L F Wallace Too late
150 Ms N Saunders How can you build new homes when we already suffer the threat of water shortages?
If the area is to expand to accommodate more people/jobs it should be incumbent on the developers to make provision for
152 Mr S Crowther
an expansion of necessary services/infrastructure to accommodate them.
Conservation of our energy and water should be encouraged. Contractors/builders/water and energy providers should all
153 Mrs S Bradshaw play their part in the conservation of resources. It should not be left to the general public alone to make savings.
A wind farm is 100% essential. Could it not be built on part of Shoebury New Ranges? Tidal power could be dificult to
implement, however, requiring new homes to be water efficient is sidestepping the real issue. Too many houses chasing
156 J W Collins
too little water. Already we have hosepipe bans/water shortage. Why voluntarily make the problem worse?
ALL householders should be required to have water meters. Many appear to waste huge amounts of water, even in drought
conditions. Leaks in roadways must be repaired more quickly - if not this encourages householders not to take care of the
158 Mr & Mrs White resource.
Yes, get water from the North of England where there is an abundance. Yes there are other things that can be done and it
doesn't take a degree in science to work out, more housing, more water usage or does our Council agree with the idiot
woman councillor in Basildon who stated a couple of months ago in the Evening Echo, houses/businesses do not use water,
159 Mr & Mrs J Collins people do!
161 Mr S J Benee This should be an issue which is on going and encouraged both locally and national level.
162 Mr & Mrs Livens Solar panels, small wind turbines, rainwater for toilet systems. Encouragement will not be enough.
At the moment we seem to be ok with the water situation, but of course this may well not be the case if thousands of new
homes are allowed to be built. Long term energy supply may also be a problem. Would it not be feasible to up-date and
163 Mr S T Cardwell modernise Bradwell Power Station to ease energy supply to the district?
164 Mr I King This will be controlled by Central Government.
165 Mr G Searles Why don't you fine large buildings that are lit up all night and put everyone on the water meter?
166 G W Fleming Encourage with yearly reminders, new proposals and/or offers.
