With other countries now pulling the plug on this project due to inaccurate billing and health-related issues, why are we still pushing forward with it?? They are not accurate enough and definitely not safe enough for a forced roll-out.

More research is needed into FCC regulations which allow 100x more RF than most other countries. FCC regulations permit higher levels of RF than any other industrialized country in the world…even China. Smart meters also violate personal privacy as apparently they interact with chips on newer appliances and mechanical devices and create a profile on usage of user in violation of privacy and liberty rights. Various places around the world have reversed their use of smart meters. Their benefits are limited in the face of the disbenefits. The home is a place where children should be safe from the toxic modern environment not bombarded further. Much more research is needed before these are blindly pushed into more homes.

Dangerous and unnecessary. I for one will NOT have one of these attached to my property. Do more independent research on the safety aspects.

My mother has been diagnosed as being electro-sensitive and as such we have had to remove all wifi and microwaves devices from our house which has restored her to full health. To impose this on everyone is wrong and there is no way we will be having one in our house. Please make it a voluntary option and think of those who's health this will effect if you make them have one fitted in their homes.

The poorest man may, in his cottage, bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England may not enter; all his force dare not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement. William Pitt, in the House of Commons, 1766. The word is curtilage. Curtilage is an important legal term to define the land immediately surrounding a house or dwelling, including any closely associated buildings and structures. It defines the boundary within which a homeowner can have a reasonable expectation of privacy and where “intimate home activities” take place. The U.S. Supreme Court holds that the Fourth Amendment protects homes and their curtilage from unreasonable searches without a warrant. The question that needs to be answered; Are wireless utility meters a 21st century King of England - Do wireless utility meters constitute an illegal breaching of the curtilage?

My neighbour had a smart meter installed,I felt unwell from the day it was switched on,she asked me to ring the provider and tell them,they asked if I was sensitive to electricity and said they would exchange the meter for a normal one as soon as possible.This was done in a matter of days,the engineer told us of a colleague who experienced symptoms from working with smart meters,when he told the company they took him off smart meter work.I am now unable to have wifi or use a mobile phone,the smart meter triggered this sensitivity and it seems the service providers are well aware of the effects.

I object to "smart" meters for a number of reasons: - vulnerability to cyber attack - monitoring of habits of occupants - possibility of time of day billing - question as to accuracy of metering which was never a problem with analogue meters - they will not last as long as the analogues - I have never seen it stated what the power consumption of these meters is as against the former analogues, and what about the power consumption of the communication networks and centres which process the data? This must be factored in too - the analogues are metal and therefore more robust - the "smart" meters have a relay in so that power can be disconnected. Why introduce a possible fire safety hazard, as in the contacts of the relay which must be hefty to carry 100A? Such a component was not present in the analogue meters. The main reason I object, however, is that they emit pulses of microwave electromagnetic radiation which is not proven safe and which many studies have found harm for, even though the State denies that there is evidence of such. As we are bioelectrical beings I see it as a sensible assumption, until proven otherwise, that they may interfere with the human system.

Don't want a spy in my home constantly emmiting radio frequency that's damaging to the health of humans and pets and house plants. Got too much wireless apparatus within the home already. With mobile & cordless tech. Wireless Internet etc etc. I will refuse to accept a smart meter at every opportunity and juncture.

I would like you to take into account all the evidence about the carcinogenic and other effects detrimental to human health of these metres being in our homes. Also the track record from America in this respect, including court cases.

People sensitive to EMF are not going to want these. I for one do not want them eithrt.
