181 Mrs M R Hutchings
What do you mean by "encourage"? Of course energy and water are important. Water is the wine of life, you should do
more to save water, build another reservoir or two.
182 Mrs V Wisbey Water meters, the repair of underground pipes. Offer people incentives.
183 Tomassi The balance is correct.
Requirements and bans may become necessary. Maybe supplying cut price rain water barrels, similar to the compost bin
scheme, could be useful. Collecting water this way can be useful for gardens, car washing and in some cases toilet

flushing.
185 Mr J K Mills I agree that energy should be produced green renewable means and that a requirement is necessary for new housing
186 Mr & Mrs J Halliday Stop sewage being used to top up the drinking water supply
Yes, we should do more. New developments should be energy efficient. Public places should be given grants so they can
improve their energy efficiency. Householders should be encouraged to make their places more energy efficient by
providing clear information and grants where applicable. Recycling should be encouraged at all levels - households,
187 Mrs K Jesty
schools, businesses and industry far too much is wasted.
If you are serious about conserving energy and water in any county in this or any other country you do not increase water
and energy demand by developing housing and industry. I think this council and the government should enter the strange
world of reality here - look up the moaning of the words conservation - and development. Once the two are fully understood
188 Mr A Mackay
maybe we can stop this madness.
189 Mr G Gooding Reducing energy consumption is a priority which could be achieved by more "green" initiatives.
190 Mr G J Tinsey I concur, all new homes should be to the Government's code for sustainable homes. More kerb-side recycling.
191 Janice & Alex Brining Should have requirements and encouragements. Education via schools. Incentives for homes and businesses.
Energy and water issues are so widely discussed on the media and pointed out by the water/energy providers that money
192 Ms B Mean
could be better spent elsewhere.
This is the most pertinent issue of all in view of global warming - NO planning permission should be given on any new
housing or other developments unless they incorporate suitable provision for - Solar heating panels and under ground water
194 Mr C Hutchinson storage tanks, from roof rainwater duly filtered for use on toilets! See 8.
Encourage where necessary. There are too many new laws being introduced in this country. General public are beginning
to ridicule the law in general as a result. Requirement is another term for law. Remember, "the law is there to serve the
195 Mr B M Gilbert
people not the people serves the law"!
Infrastructure is of vital importance to any future developments, thermal efficiency and water saving measures must be part
196 Mr A E Hodges of future housing specs. Encouragement to install water butts and rainsaver devices is important.
If we are to help protect our planet we must do more and not waste. Industry is a major factor in creating green house
gases, they should be required to tow the line and if they don't fine them. Give people big grants to have solar panels and

the more energy efficient they become take money off their council tax.
The district council can not do enough to encourage saving on energy (reduce lighting in offices when not in use). Possible
198 Mr J Clamp
use of long term (unused) farming, areas for a new reservoir.
199 Mr & Mrs Crockford We need more reservoirs for the extra population that’s alerady here.
Unfortunately I do not think encouragement will work. Requirements are needed but they should not become too 'big
brother' but if we all move to a wetter place and allow no further development down the 'Thames Causeway' we won't have
200 Mr T O'Shea
a problem.
