Closed Cancel the smart meter roll-out

Closed on

We call on the Government to cancel the smart meter roll-out, on the grounds of:
1) Health-they emit microwave radiation, a Group 2B Carcinogen
2) Safety-can cause fires
3) Privacy-consumption data can be tracked/sold
4) Security-can be hacked
5) Cost-reports suggest £400+ per household
