Recently at St Clements Lake in Greenhithe, wildlife was senselessly attacked by youngsters with catapults. This is sadly not a one off in this borough and animals have been cruelly targeted causing injuries to birds, water fowl and other wildlife. From a duck being left with half it's beak hanging, a heron with a shattered wing and a squirell with a bloodied eye 💔 I was sickened to read about an online trend that has evolved where people are posting the maimed creatures after harming them. These injuries often prove fatal, either drawn out in the wild or one of the wonderful recuse groups making the awful decision to put them to rest. I am in awe of the wonderful volunteers in Dartford who have done so much to highlight this appalling wildlife crime and giving their all to try and protect innocent creatures. Catapults are weapons and it's not only animals that are being targeted, with property and even walkers by being hurt by launched missiles. However, shockingly catapults currently have no restrictions and are easily available to buy, with anyone being able to own one! The government responded to a recent petition calling for them to be banned on May 2025 👇 "catapults are also routinely used by members of the public, enjoying legitimate pastimes...the Government has to balance the entirely legitimate objective of the petitioners to see catapults and catapult ammunition kept out of the hands of individuals who will misuse it....we therefore do not intend to accept the petitioners’ proposal at this time, but we will continue to keep this issue under review" In my opinion this simply isn't good enough and the situation can not continue, with the police only having limited powers under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 to deal with this! I am now pushing, not for an outright ban, but to make catapult ownership licensable and to stop under 18s purchasing them. This will strike a balance and ensure that there are restrictions - only adults with licenses can have them in public for genuine leisure activities and anyone else will be breaking the law. I implore authorities at all levels to stop tinkering around the edges and bring in legislation in now to protect our wildlife and communities. Let's use our collective voice to say enough is enough! ✊️ Please sign and share widely! ✍️🦆🙏

The Prevention, Action and Treatment initiative is a groundbreaking programme, giving our children, including the poorest people in our community, access to an NHS dentist, providing daily supervised brushing, twice yearly fluoride varnishing and treatment of dental issues to the children and the families of our children who otherwise would not the means or access to a dentist. Thirty two thousand children from 143 schools in our area currently benefit, increasing their life prospects, self confidence and general health while reducing tooth decay, illness and time off school ill.  Our school is the only school to have withdrawn from the dental programme and our children deserve more.

Sir Keir Starmer is considering a mandatory digital ID scheme called “BritCard” that would make us all reliant on a digital pass to go about our daily lives. Mandatory digital IDs give the state enormous control and treat the population with suspicion. Introducing one in Britain would fundamentally change the nature of our relationship with the state, eroding our rights and freedoms. We all want to be able to prove who we are safely, privately, and conveniently but while digital ID can be helpful for some people in certain situations, it is not a magic solution for all scenarios. People in marginalised, vulnerable and minority groups are more likely to have reduced access to online services (e.g. people with disabilities, low income or the elderly), particularly where digital identity is a requirement. That is why we’re fighting to protect your privacy rights by calling for this dangerous proposal to be scrapped. Britain has a long and proud history of rejecting proposals for mandatory ID, and we should reject this one too. We can win this fight again, but we can only do it together. If thousands of us sign this petition, we can make Starmer reject the “BritCard” proposal.

This Is a Moment of Moral Clarity This is not about politics. This is about humanity that's why over 50 MP's have already signed an open letter to you requesting an emergency medical evacuation scheme for injured Palestinian children.  We ask you, Prime Minister, not to look away. Let the UK be remembered as a country that stood on the side of life.  We request an urgent meeting with your office to explore the practical steps needed to make this vision a reality.  With resolve and hope,  [Add your Profession before your first name eg Consultant, Nurse, Dr, Paramedic, Phlebotomist]

I need you to join so I can get support for when I bring it to government. Your help and your signature would improve it massively and would give me solid proof of the scale of your concern on road quality. Once government see this, road quality improvement could be possible. In Citizenship at school we are trying to make a change somewhere in the world. I need you to sign my petition to help me bring my matter forward. I am aiming for at least 10,000 signatures to get this matter into Parliament.

This guidance is out dated, legally questionable and deeply traumatising to individuals experiencing losses. The surveillance and accusations aimed at grieving women and birthing people is a gross betrayal of public trust, lacks empathy, substance, justification, and needs amending. It is deeply rooted in patriarchal views and reinforces worrying views around policing female bodies. We petition for the NPCC to review and amend the guidance with urgency.

Peers who break the rules get to keep their titles and return to the House of Lords to make our laws. They may serve a suspension, but then simply walk back in. This includes peers found guilty of bullying, inappropriate lobbying, and other serious breaches of the Code of Conduct. Meanwhile, MPs who commit serious breaches of the rules have to resign or face being chucked out by the voters in a by-election. We think peers should be banned for good if found guilty of serious breaches of the Code of Conduct.  Those who break the rules should NOT have the power to make our laws.    Sign the petition today to send the Lords Conduct Committee a clear message: if you seriously break the rules, you lose your seat. No exceptions.

Because the current tax burden is hindering the growth of small businesses and therefore hindering economic growth.

We are deeply concerned that this residential area, currently subject to the national speed limit of 60mph, has been excluded from the initiative—despite lacking pavement provision and being home to families, children, and elderly individuals. In contrast, we note that the Inverboyndie Industrial Estate, which contains no residential properties and is also in a 60mph zone, has been selected for a 20mph limit. This disparity is both unfair and unsafe. We believe our road clearly meets the intention of the national strategy to protect communities with higher footfall and residential activity.

Chyngton Primary School has grown significantly over the decades and now has a roll of nearly 400 pupils. Over the same period the number of children being driven to school has also risen dramatically according to government figures. As a result, the residential roads around the school have become increasingly congested and dangerous at school drop-off and pick-up times. Existing safety provisions such as zig-zag lines and the voluntary one-way system are difficult to enforce and ineffective. Children are at risk crossing the roads near the school, this means fewer children are walking to school, and more come by car, even for short journeys, exacerbating the problem. Access for emergency vehicles is severely impeded, and local residents frequently have access and driveways blocked by inconsiderate parking. More needs to be done to keep the children, parents and public safe around Chyngton school.
