Respondent: Mr Jeremy Martin

Representation Summary:

Electrical infrastructure needs strong provision to ensure that growth can occur. This should link to the recently launched TriLEP Energy Strategy and a waste to energy plant should be provided for with sites identified clearly in advance. Providing for electricity generation and heat provision through a heat network from waste top energy will provide increased electrical resilience, will reduce the pressure on the grid, will provide low carbon heat and power to sections of the town. At the same time, it will lower vehicle emissions from slow moving, large vehicles, improve AQ and provide for increased recycling if implemented well
