We have seen an increase in Antisocial behaviour in Bridgwater being reported. Young people are being moved from one area to another but the antisocial behaviour moves with them. Youth Clubs in Bridgwater are being bombarded with more young people but they haven't got the resources to cope. Youth Services have been slashed and underfunded and we need to see an increase to deal with the problems we face. We need County Council to increase funding to enable dedicated youth workers to work with these young people to reduce antisocial behaviour and help make Bridgwater and its people feel safe.

Shop owners and their shops sorely affected, The community living in fear, peoples cars and properties being destroyed.

Bridgwater is a small market town and the town centre is the heart of the community. Many local independent stores have complained about the behaviour of this group of teenagers effectively impacting on their businesses. Locals who live in the town centre have said they do not feel safe. Bridgwater residents in general have had enough of a small group of teenagers ruining what is usually a peaceful town centre. Many have said they avoid going to the centre now, especially if alone. A prolonged police presence would deter this group from congregating and inflicting their anti-social behaviour on innocent passers by.

Last month our respected community elder, Ras Judah Adunbi, was tasered by two police constables while peacefully taking his dog on a Saturday morning walk through our neighbourhood (Easton, Bristol). The police stopped Judah near his home, demanded to know his name and address and when Judah politely refused, which is within his legal rights, they tasered him in the face and wrongfully arrested him. Judah did NOT break any laws or rules but was treated violently and with no respect. Judah felt like he was going to die and has since suffered from a number of health complications. The incident was covered my media outlets across the Globe, including Washington Post, New York Times, CNN and BBC World News. Avon and Somerset Police dropped the charges a couple of days later and are now being investigated by IPCC. ** Ras Judah wants everyone in the community to LEARN their legal rights! If a police officer stops you and starts to ask you questions you DO NOT have to stop or answer any questions. That’s the law. The Police should stick to it. ** Key facts: - There have been at least 17 taser-related deaths in Britain since 2003, including the death of Dalian Atkinson, the former Aston Villa footballer, who died after being Tasered by police officers in August 2016. - People of African descent are three times more likely to be tasered and six times more likely to be stopped and searched than white people. - According to government figures, use of Tasers has grown over recent years, with 1,921 Taser discharges recorded by police in England and Wales in 2015. - Judah was taken to the Bristol Royal infirmary in a Police car with the Taser still dangling from his face. After being discharged later that morning he spent 10 hours at Patchway police station (Bristol). He was allowed to leave just before midnight and had to make his own way home. - On Monday 23rd Jan, Bristol's police federation chairman said the police officers involved were 'doing what the public expect of them'.

This is important because so many lives are ruined by domestic violence, this violence impacts on the lives of women, men and children, some children grow up to believe violence is a normal act and go on to become perpetrators themselves. Lives are lost to domestic violence everyday, stop the violence. On average the perpetrator will assault their target 36 times before police are called. The reluctance to call the police is born out of extreme fear and shame.

Children are still dying from playing in the polluted area. Shortly after the leakage Union Carbide sold the plant to Dow, to avoid meeting their obligations to the people of Bhopal. Upjohn Polymer have recently sold their Isocyanate plant to Dow. Dow chemical is aiming to expand its business in PU in India. Polyurethane (PU) foams use 50% isocyanates in their manufacture.

Our Government, its Institutions, Politicians, Local Councils are NOT trusted to conduct their affairs with efficiency and integrity. The same applies to most corporations and many businesses. Legislative and self-regulating bodies are often self protecting, evasive and shamelessly lenient to their members. A robust and free ranging system of external investigation and whistleblowing is often the only way large institutions are held to public scrutiny and account. Current Law Commission proposals criminalise these investigative activities across an extensive array of issues and activities - in both public and private spheres. Recently revealed scandals such as HMRC sweetheart deals with accountancy firm Goldman Sachs, MOD's cover up of the failure of Warrior armoured vehicles, details of EDF's deal with the government over Hinkley Point, overcharging by contractors on the Government's Work Programme ....... anything deemed to be "sensitive economic information" will be subject to the new 'Secrecy Laws" and subject to a 700% increase in prison sentence up to 14 years. With increasing likelihood of NHS privatisation deals, can we risk these details being held secret under such threats? In an ultimate act of cynicism, the closing date for the consultation is May 3rd. .... World Press Freedom Day. Two fingers, anyone?

Because it's for the safety of everyone involved. Plus it's dangerous and also crime rate will now rise.

Because there are thousands of people in leasehold properties who cannot get out and are stuck with these villains. I am currently having this very problem. A friend has come to the rescue so I am getting into a freehold property. It is not always an option to go for the right to manage especially if the other lessees do not want to get involved or sub-let

In my opinion as a Driving Instructor with 16 years experience this is just as dangerous to life. Day in day out I see vehicles parked on zigzag lines totally obscuring the view of the crossing. Only this week I caught on my dashcam a traffic police officer driving past a transit size van parked fully on the zigzag lines without even stopping. My pupil as she drove past said I can't even see if anyone is on the crossing. Maybe it will take a serious injury or worse before something is done but then it's too late. If you've taken the time to read this please sign and share it as you never know it could be your child or parent or yourself who might get killed. Thank you.

The Fire and Rescue Services are there to provide humanitarian services, without any judgement on any citizen in the UK. Grouping that service with an enforcement authority will damage the good reputation the fire service has with the public at a time when they need to decern between the two. The obvious choice would be to create stronger ties between the Ambulance service and the fire service but for some reason this is not even a consideration. It would surely be better for fire crews and paramedics/technicians to be sharing working skills than that of fire fighters and police officers.
