| Message | We sympathise with Article 6 on waste collection, but not the rest. President Simon Crossley |

| Message | I only fully agree with articles 2 and 8. Article 3 should have the same (if not slightly stricter) treatment as article 2. The use of private cars (refering to article 5) could be reduced by having a carpool lane placed on any road with 3 or more lanes. |
