If a conversion house has 3 flats it now has 6 bins, 3 black and 3 green. There is little or no room to store them off the street and now the bins that are there are full or overflowing rubbish with various bags on the ground that foxes have clearly been in. It is an unsightly mess. I agree completely with recycling but in conversion flats this new regime is not working and there have been very many complaints about this from residents Hello

]]> Comment on Reduction in Feed-in-Tariff by Sorcha http://mhsgroup.org/2011/10/reduction-in-feed-in-tariff/#comment-539 Sorcha Mon, 20 Feb 2012 11:06:44 +0000 http://mhsgroup.org/?p=1333#comment-539 Interesting comment. We're a local company providing energy efficient products and services including solar PV. Although, it still is cost effective to install PV, even after the severe reduction in tariff, the general public is confused and understandably mistrustful.The government's move has indeed damaged public opinion and seemingly led to a new wave of apathy.It would be good to share info with any other companies about reassuring customers. We have noticed that our market is not necessarily within the 'green' communities at the moment but more within those domestic households who spend money carefully, plan ahead and have access to finance. Accountants make up a significantly high percentage of our client base! Solar PV still allows home-owners to be the king of their own castles, in charge of their fuel destiny. Interesting comment.
