From a brief scan of your communication (it's all I can be bothered with) it sounds like you had about 250 replies to your last public consultation, which is hardly representative. Most of the people who respond to such things do so because they have nothing better to do and, in this case, probably don't want anything to change at Havant Thicket. Personally, I couldn't give a toss, so long as the tap keeps running when I'm at home. If you want to fit a water meter, fine, because it will probably cost me less, but I'm not particularly exercised by it. I think you will get more support if you fix the existing leaks in the infrastructure and amend our bills accordingly.
