INTRODUCTION OF SMART METERS
I suffer from an invisible disability that increases my propensity to become one of the increasing number of people affected adversely by electromagnetic waves.
There is a significant amount of evidence that public health is being affected by such equipment as mobile telephones, Wi-Fi and the like.
It is important to the public to be able to choose to avoid the potential effects of smart meters by retaining choice. The same ability to gain the information required by energy companies and other utility bodies is available through fibre optic cables so there is no need to foist smart meters on people.
