  • Protect the Green Belt
    This is a national problem driven in part by developers with their land bank areas of green belt. The north of Bristol is no exception, where South Gloucestershire Council have proposed to build a total of 22,000 houses at central government behest, and 3,200 will be in Stoke Gifford/Winterbourne, 1,200 of which are being built at Harry Stoke and 2,000 are proposed on the green belt East of Harry Stoke ref: LEOHS. Filton Airfield and Cribbs Causway are brown field sites, more than capable of accommodating the majority of this requirement. There is serious vehicle congestion in and around Stoke Gifford and the proposal will only bring more traffic estimated to be around 6,000 vehicles onto the all ready congested road network

  • Cycle Track from Dumbarton to Helensburgh
    The A814 between Dumbarton and Helensburgh is the missing link in a network of cycle tracks in the area. It is a busy, twisting and narrow road and the pavement is in most places unsuitable for a bike. Cyclists are forced to cycle on the road, which causes delays and frustration to traffic and puts cyclists at serious risk of injury when vehicles do pass.

  • Protect Derby Carers' Services
    Carers usually carry on looking after other(s) until they drop. Carers services help stave off this for very modest sums. If they cannot care as they are doing, the financial costs fall on the NHS, Derby council etc. Carers are twice as likely to go to their GP's as the general population. Carers are adults as well as children and it's estimated there are 5,000 of them just in Derby. We need your help to demonstrate the community supports this campaign by 4th January when the Derby City Consultation closes.

  • Global Climate Change
    To date no country has actually made any serious attempt to reduce our Greenhouse Emissions. The Secretary of State and the Minister of State for Climate Change are currently attending the Doha Climate Conference. I received this email by the Department of Energy and Climate Change(DECC) today 6th Dec 2012 and it states the following... Yesterday Ed Davey has pledged £2 billion of new British aid money for projects to encourage green projects in the developing world. Each UK household will contribute £70 to schemes to tackle climate change in the developing countries before March 2015 under plan championed by the SoS. The SoS said the money should be spent because “climate change is a global threat and with every passing year, the nature and the extent of that threat grows clearer. We also recognise that the world’s poorest will be hit hardest by the impact of climate change and we need to help communities adapt to these changes.” He has warned that international efforts to cut carbon emissions have been excessively slow during the opening day of the UN climate conference in Doha. He “completely agreed” with an assessment made by Lord Stern that the world was being recklessly slow in combating greenhouse emissions. The 'world is being recklessly slow' is very clear, if we do not reduce our Carbon Emissions and reduce the effects of Global Warming, NOW... the outcome will be very grave! There are huge numbers of scientific reports, which support this and they are all outlining the importance of dealing with Climate Change! We 'ordinary people' therefore have an opportunity, to force our Leaders to begin tackling this most serious of all issues. Handshakes and verbal agreements are only useful, if action is taken. The reality is, nothing has been effectivley taken. Most ordinary people blindly believe everything will be fine. Our Leaders will sort it out! The facts state differently. The Kyoto Protocol with all its important intentions, has actually made no impact. Sincere intentions but with no actions! We must all realise that this World is our home. For human advancement to continue, we absolutely must look after it! So my plea is simple, do some research, and you will see an enormous amount of well researched journals by scientists stating the enormity of the task required to reduce our Greenhouse Emissions, is huge. This is our opportunity to ask our leader David Cameron, to take this issue on with the priority it deserves. To take this issue to other global leaders... but this time, to get an AGREEMENT which globally can be overseen officially, by independent scientists, showing that the countries involved, are genuinely meeting their Greenhouse Reduction Targets! Without this, there is no effective way foward! I am not going to exagerate the problems associated with Climate Change, the evidence is all to clear..Flooding! Droughts! Famine! etc, etc. It's pretty obvious, it's just a question of where we each indivdually prioritise the effects of the dangers of climate change. For me it's at the highest level of importance. If you agree... Will you please sign this petition so that we can ensure our Prime Minister David Cameron and Tim Yeo MP for Energy and Climate Change, hears our concerns.

  • Don't allow fracking to start in the UK
    I've been concerned about fracking ever since I saw the "Gaslands" film which showed what individual American citizens had experienced after allowing the gas companies to drill on their land. It's the chemicals they use with high pressure water jets to fracture the earth underground, that do the damage, and the film showed how the poison gets into the ground water, animals died and people became chronically ill and had no redress whatsoever in the States. We cannot allow this to happen to our precious water supplies in the UK.

  • Asbestos in Schools Wales
    Given the health risks associated with the presence of asbestos in public buildings, we believe parents and guardians across Wales have the right; to know if asbestos is located in their school to know whether, where asbestos is present, it is being managed in line with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 to access that information easily online.

  • Say no to Shale Gas
    Shale rock contains natural gas trapped in the ground and can only be released by building a number of wells on pads which drill deep underground vertically and horizontally. The rock is blasted using a mixture of sand water and some chemicals. Benzenes and other toxic chemicals are needed in the process to shatter the rock and release the gas. The water flows back and Methane that has been trapped underground as well as 'N O R M' Naturally Occurring Radon gas can escape. The process of flaring the gas can release the Methane and Radon. Earth quakes can occur and at least 50 small earthquakes occurred in Blackpool last year. The movement of rock can also cause subsidence of a wide area. France has banned shale gas exploration so far and many parts of North America have moratoriums in force because of the dangers to health and the environment. It is a fossil fuel and so is not carbon neutral. The government will fail in reducing carbon emissions and so the green agenda once hailed by the P M as important will fall apart and other carbon neutral energy sources such as wind, wave and Solar power will be neglected. It has been made known that the government will be prepared to give the Shale Gas companies tax breaks when the re start their operations soon. This is unacceptable when so much is at stake in the carbon neutral industry which does not pose health risks.

  • Cycle Routes
    We have just heard that Bradley Wiggins, victor of the Tour de France has been knocked of his bike on one of our roads. If he is not safe then who is? This would be a good time to bring this initiative forward. In this area of Wales there are wide margins on a number of roads where cycle/footpaths could be laid and the situation is similar in many other locations - this would be a start. It would reduce road casualties and allow children to go by foot and by cycle to school and so reduce the traffic of the school run. It would also create thousands of jobs.

  • Cut Housing costs
    This would bring down the cost of living across the board, but more importantly for people who can't afford rent or house prices.

  • Planning accountability
    Corruption in planning is rife, the system can be very biased. Currently there is no recourse to reports and advice that is clearly against the planning law, except by a very expensive legal route that the majority cannot afford.
