Remove Wood Pellet Heating Systems from Mosside, N.I BT53

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

These systems were implemented in 2006 as a pilot scheme for Housing Executive houses in the area. It was believed that they would be a cheaper and more efficient source of heating for Housing Executive homes. Personally I have found this not to be the case. We spend almost £30 per week.

There are limited suppliers of the pellets for these systems. We have little storage for bags, so I only buy 8 bags a week. This provides my house with approximately 4 hours heat per day. This is insufficient for this time of year. The systems are no longer being manufactured, so it takes over a week to source parts when they break down. A number of houses have small children, and when the system breaks down it could be harmful to their health. I myself have been battling with various moulds.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Housing in Northern Ireland is the responsibility of the Northern Ireland Assembly, not the UK Government or Parliament.
