Design of bridges should consider the use of curved walls to increase safety and
reduce the ability of death by suicide. Underpasses should be well lit and feel
safe for uses at all times of day and night. Use of bright colours and designs can
also improve mental and physical health.

There needs to be awareness that not all health and emergency services can be
provided locally due to capital and revenue cost implications. The NHS 10-Year
Plan aims to provide more health service in communities and this will require a
strategic change for health facilities and where services are provided from
outside of the acute setting. This may be in a community hub or existing health
care facility.

To support move to Carbon Net Zero EEAST would request an EV charging
strategy is developed to enable public organisations to have access to
centralised EV charging locations. Local authority, health, social and emergency
vehicles should maximise usage of each other’s charging resources such as those provided by private providers and bus companies. They would need to be of sufficient width to accommodate these vehicles and be without penalty for
repeated usage

EEAST would also request ensuring modern building construction does not
impinge on phone/broadband signals – thereby requiring boosters which use
more energy. A policy which supports homes and commercial premises are built
for modern connectivity as the more equipment requires the use of
internet/WiFi.

EEAST would highlight the need for increasing demand for digital connectivity
for emergency services and direct links to hospitals. The ability for rural areas to have access to superfast broadband as this will help farm/rural live diversification and building of business that will help keep
employment local to smaller villages, hamlets and individual farms.

Modern Methods of Construction are able to utilise schemes such as Prisoners
Build Homes which have successfully reduced reoffending rates, provide skills
and employment post release. Similar schemes exist for those preventing and
entering the justice system.
