When the Planning & Environment Dep...PART TWO.<br /><br />When the Planning & Environment Department decided ,within their wisdom, that they were going to advertise locally to all homeowners in 2009 to have all these works done for free, they decided to employ members of staff who didn't have a clue what they were doing but put them in charge as it was the department who were in charge of any works.<br /> <br />So these members of staff who worked in the department thought it would be ok to instruct local companies and tradesmen to just go into these houses and pump the cavity if they had one, and hammer the loft with insulation if they had none.<br /> <br />BUT , what the department failed to do in their due diligence was to make sure the properties had sufficient ventilation and were suitable. So as many builders who are qualified would tell you , you never just hammer a house with loft and wall insulation, and especially old bungalows , without making sure that ventilation was going to be achieved.<br /> <br />Now this elderly woman has been complaining for some time and the department have been fobbing her off for 2 years , whilst finally admitting recently that it might help her if she looks at ventilating her home better ! But it has taken 2 years for them to admit what they have known for 2 years , they even went as far to turn up out of the blue to the lady's doctor with no permission in 2012 to try to make out that she was crazy , or something to that effect.<br /> <br />Going back to the wasting of tax payers’ money , the reason on why the department managers decided to pay for a new bathroom, new carpets, new kitchens floors is ?????? thats right , nobody knows , even one of the department managers was angry when she found out about it .<br /> <br />Now this is one home, how many homes have they done work in , hundreds, thousands ? How many elderly people or all round applicants of this service have not complained , how many of these homeowners didn't have sons and daughters who decided to take the insulation out- as what happened with one of the homes that had elderly lady's son make sure to have a check-up had to go to hospital complaining of breathing problems and headaches, but then miraculously gets better everything she left the house. The son spotted it straight away and removed all the works the department did.<br /> <br />What about dangers of damp and the negatives about cavity wall insulation.<br /> <br />this link, plus hundred others says it all- DON'T DO IT !<br />http://www.heritage-house.org/pages/insulation-causes-damp.html<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591695769525894359.post-37887587003855556442013-09-13T20:47:48.583+01:002013-09-13T20:47:48.583+01:00Part one.

Well let me tell you and be prepared to be disgusted with the incompetence of how our government spends YOUR money.<br /><br />But first , before i get onto the disgusting and arguably illegal wasting of tax payers’ money , i would like to talk about a 2 more worrying issue of what the Energy Efficiency service is doing in people’s homes without telling them. It’s one thing that some departments officers want to quickly spend their budgets , but planting the seeds that will arguably destroy parts of the homes in years to come, and immediately make these elderly homeowners have trouble breathing with respiratory problems is another.<br />On my brief investigation , on the small amount of people i know who have had works done by the department, i have come across 2 different homeowners who have had to make several visits to their doctors because of complaints to do with the quality of air in their homes.<br /> <br />One of these particular homeowners , who is an elderly lady who no one couldn't get nothing past , has been left so concerned about the now changed air condition in her home, that she now chooses to sleep in her garage as she is struggling to get adequate ventilation in her bungalow. It’s actually got to the point when she was advised that if she was waking up with sore throats every morning then something is definitely wrong, but her doctor couldn't immediately diagnose why as it was baffling him.<br />So, we all ask, what would be causing this ?, well it’s become clear after 2 years of stress for this lady!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591695769525894359.post-33998206894862651462013-09-13T20:14:57.702+01:002013-09-13T20:14:57.702+01:00Unreal, ive just heard about this case detailed in...Unreal, ive just heard about this case detailed in this post.<br /><br />The States cannot be serious ! its obvious there has been a big mistake here as it was the department who did the works. <br /><br />I should know, i helped with some of the works and its a well known thing amongst local companies that the department made a horlicks of the tender process, which actually was not a tender if anyone looks at what they did.<br /><br />Just shows when you you employ idiots in states departments, a story we hear day by day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591695769525894359.post-45554998141145640072013-09-13T10:34:27.599+01:002013-09-13T10:34:27.599+01:00

Unfortunately, Deputy Le Herissier looked at the "Review" Board system (now called the Complaints Board) some years ago and produced a report that simply failed to address the real issues. For some reason this government is terrified of tribunals that can actually have the power to strike down the decisions of departments and the Bailiff's Office resists such powers falling into the wrong hands because only "Judges" are supposed to challenge governmental decisions.<br />It is an ancient problem which people must challenge as best they can. In 1769 the people of Jersey (or at least several hundreds of them) overthrew the whole stinking mess for a few hours - but like the tide, it just came rolling back again.<br />In Jersey there is a desperate need for a Tribunal that is somewhere between a Scrutiny Panel and a Complaints Board but with very wide powers to initiate investigations (with or without an individual actually making a complaint) and to make decisions that are enforcable. It must be free or almost free of cost to complainants.<br />That such a Tribunal might look at other matters - such as the behaviour of Jersey lawyers, Doctors, the JEC or the Press - is something to ponder on. As is the question of various "ombudsmen" for specific activities - but for sure something very radical needs to be done and it is absolutely certain that our currently elected States Chamber is totally incapable of causing such reforms to happen.<br />28 September is Jersey Reform Day and hopefully will be celebrated for the first time ever at Reg's Garden but you must all try much harder, if you are really concerned about such matters....Tom Gruchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384387998228996741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591695769525894359.post-36627896875162808852013-09-12T14:35:10.435+01:002013-09-12T14:35:10.435+01:00I grown to think that there may be more reasons to...I grown to think that there may be more reasons to mistrust our Government!
