Hugh Sandeman
Conservative Councillor for Bell Hill ward, Petersfield

I was amazed to read in the Herald, that a well known company from Petersfield - and I am pleased to say from the Bell Hill Ward! has recycled just under 10 Million gallons of water over the past couple of years.

Petersfield and Reliance Launderers and Cleaners of Rushes Road have been using a revolutionary Clearwater filtration system that manages to refresh used water from the laundering process so efficiently that upto 85% of the water that enters the filter can be reused again in other stages of the cleaning process.

Initiatives like this have so many clear benefits to both the environment and savings for the Laundry that it makes sense for other similar industries to sit up and take notice.

The Conservatives are particularly keen on such environmentally friendly ideas and more can be read about our concern about water shortages here.
