DAISY SAYS - Pardon me for asking, but if there are thousands of houses being built in and around Herstmonceux, where are all the infrastructure improvements? Daisy wonders if Wealden's policies as to fossil fuel investments, and the promotion of executive housing over affordable homes, is un-sustainable? Daisy wonders if the increasing number and frequency of potholes, is caused by the lack of roadway improvements to cope with the increase in traffic. And, Daisy has a sneaking suspicion that all that untreated sewage being discharged into the sea illegally, has something to do with not having the capacity to deal with all the extra waste from all of those new-build executive homes?
THE CLIMATE CHANGE ACT 2008 (2050 TARGET AMENDMENT) ORDER 2019
(b) took into account representations made by the Scottish Ministers, the Welsh Ministers and the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs in Northern Ireland in accordance with section 3(1)(b) of the Act(2),
The Secretary of State considers that since the Act was passed, there have been significant developments in scientific knowledge about climate change that make it appropriate to amend the percentage specified in section 1(1) of the Act.
1. This Order may be cited as the
Climate Change Act 2008 (2050 Target Amendment) Order 2019 and comes into force on the day after the day on which it is made.
2. (1) Section 1 of the
Climate Change Act 2008 is amended as follows.
So, what has changed with the Greens and Liberals at the helm? No change at all, if the members do not rein in aberrant officers, who perhaps, are not giving councillors the full picture, to enable them to do the right thing. The lack of transparency in local government is astonishing. They appear to be doing all they can to cloud where your money is going. Such as not investing in land for social housing, but investing in land for factories on green belt.
2024 - Herstmonceux in Sussex is not what it used to be. Villagers are being forced to rent in towns, rather than being able to live where they were brought up - at reasonable prices. In modern England, councils are operating against the interests of young families. Rents for new builds in Herstmonceux are exorbitant. The rich get richer and the poor, poorer.
INVESTMENTS IN OIL
Word has it that Wealden's officers have been investing your tax dollars in oil companies. If that is the case, and with oil set to devalue progressively as diesel and petrol vehicles are phased out, should the council not think about re-investing in renewables, and cutting their (our) losses?
Your taxes have been used to perpetuate reliance on fossil fuels, with petro-dollars being used by Russia to invade the Ukraine, does that make Wealden fossil fools?
We wonder if your CIL payments are being used to provide fat pensions for council chiefs, rather than going to improve access roads and other facilities. What do you think. And what about all those potholes. Why do we pay so much for our Road Fund Licences, when only 5% goes on building and maintaining roads? Presumably, that leaves 95% for payments to contactors who give virtually untraceable kick backs. Procurement fraud is a major issue in the UK.
