Dear Grapevine Reader
The Parish Council has now sent its detailed submission to DEFRA concerning the Southern Water (SW) revised draft Water Resources Management Plan, in which it asks DEFRA to reject the Plan as being unsuitable for delivering long-term sustainable, cost-effective and environmentally friendly options to ensure water availability for all even in times of drought. A copy of the Council’s submission is available to view: www.rowlandscastlepc.org.uk/consultations-on-important-matters-related-to-water-supply/
Residents are strongly encouraged make their own submissions as well by Wednesday 4 December 2024. Please do not use the Parish Council’s letter verbatim or cut and paste large sections of text from our letter because then your submission will not be seen as separate from that of the Parish Council. You do not have to make a large submission but just focus on a few key points in your own words if time is short.
