Why do the residents in the 3 tower blocks: St Annes, St Oswalds and St Georges have to suffer with hugely expensive and outdated electric storage heating as the only means of warmth in wintertime?
We are some of the poorest people not only in Chester, but in the country; the majority being either pensioners, or people on Income Support!

Why has Chester & District Housing Trust (C&DHT) installed Gas central heating in Heygarth Heights, yet has no apparent intention of doing the same work in the 'Saints' area?
I asked this same question of the Trust when I moved in, in February 2007 and was told "there is no gas over here". Oh really?

How is it then, that the residents in Wellington Place use gas cookers and have the luxury of gas heating? Wellington Place is overlooked by St. Georges and St Oswalds, and it would appear that someone from the Trust was telling me 'porkies'. It is not fair and not right, that we should be treated differently from other residents in similar circumstances. This is known as discrimination!!

On August 13th 2008, Dave Soothill at C&DHT Property Services Said: "I am aware that when the St Blocks were rewired, the storage heaters were upgraded to the most energy efficient models available at the time, the storage heaters currently in place have approximately 8 years left on their life cycle."

In a report to the Scottish Office on the impact of CCTV, Jason Ditton, Director of the Scottish Centre for Criminology, argued that the claims of crime reduction [due to the camera surveillance] are little more than fantasy. "All (evaluations and statistics) we have seen so far are wholly unreliable"
