Hastings District Council
Utilities and services
Councils are responsible for a wide range of utilities and services that we all rely on, from rubbish and recycling to street cleaning. Councils are currently also responsible for managing waste water, storm water and drinking water infrastructure – the ‘Three Waters’. But that may be about to change, with central government seeking to shift the delivery of Three Waters services to four new larger entities, which could borrow enough to upgrade the country’s water infrastructure.

Consider whether development contributions should be removed. Currently these are charged against new additional dwellings on farms.
Keep up with the refusal to stop the government Three Waters campaign.
Expand our very successful rural recycling stations.
Ensure value for money for animal control and especially dog licensing.
Fight Three Waters. If this fails, push to have the entity headquarters in Hastings so that if we lose our assets at least we get some jobs.
