Free open space is important for everyone, for town dwellers and those living outside towns. The Green Belt provides that free open space between built up areas. Surrey has areas of outstanding natural beauty which will be destroyed by excessive development around towns that will happen if Green Belt land is released for housebuilding

UCG is dangerous to the land, sea, air and people.

Golborne Road is one of the few remaining authentic markets in West London. You can still get a bargain antique, a good piece of vintage and a tasty meal from the food stalls and cafes. The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea wants to gentrify it by widening the pavements and adding a complicated drainage system. A long period of disruption will harm people's livelihoods and could change the area forever. All of us love this unique place for its friendliness and sense of community. We refuse to see this spirit replaced with chain stores and expensive boutiques. If you want to save Golborne Road as we know it, please sign this petition.

It means that there will be less winners on Lotto and more roll over jackpots. I want people to voluntarily stop buying, and or boycott, the purchase of Lotto tickets, until the lottery company put their number of lotto balls back to 49 from the 59 that they updated it to on Thursday 8/10/15. This is a rip off as a few years ago lotto increased the price of a ticket to £2 from £1. The increase in the number of balls means less winners for all prizes including the jackpots and more roll overs.

Any alternative locations in the High Street are too far for the majority of residents to walk. The current location is centrally located for the majority of residents and the co location of Post office and Pharmacy, next to the doctors surgery is what is needed.

Victoria Embankment Nottingham is "not for profit land" has been given to the Citizens of Nottingham and the Locality (and visitors from further afield) for their mental and physical health & well-being, somewhere to escape all the pressures of life, including time and financial pressures. This Breathing Space should remain an oasis of unpressurised serenity. Despite some cars abusing the facility there is still plenty of space for Park Users to park up free and enjoy the simple Green Spaces. This highly protected Covenanted Land, all Gifted to the City, must be preserved from becoming another Income Generating Scheme.

The proposals being put through would be drastic for the pub and club trade, they are already in decline and not having the ability to source sport from other mediums other than BSKYB would no doubt close 1000's of pubs as SKY's prices are extortionate, SKY actually charge circa £70 per month to put there system in "your home" they will then put exactly the same system in a pub for anywhere up to £1500 per month, this in itself is terrible, pubs can't afford it and BSKYB and the Premier league are trying to push this Parliament change through, it will destroy the UK pub trade for the sake of their greed.

This game is of complete bad taste, an irresponsible game imprinting the idea that 'war', i.e killing is a an 'game' to play in both its suggestive name and in the nature of this game. 'Game Of War' is desensitizing the players to real life actions such as War and killing. This theory has been tried, tested and proven on numerous occasions and yet these games still carry suggestive names and through the bad nature of these games which can and has for some transpired into real life events. In this case War.

Hackney has its eyes on growing land values in this fast gentrifying London borough. It plans to demolish three primary schools and carve up the plots, building private homes for sale on designated education land - selling off the playgrounds and digging up the trees to build luxury flats. The new schools will be rebuilt on a fraction of the original sites, some with twice as many pupils squeezed in. The number of private luxury flats crammed in doesn’t leave room for much else. At the first proposed school, the play spaces are on the roof, in permanent shadow of the towers. The residents will be able to look right down on top of the school. As for the classrooms, there aren’t many windows. The corridors are internal, artificially lit rat-runs. The first proposed school is opposite a park, but south-facing, high-rise residential towers will block all the natural daylight. Ironically, residential towers on this site were demolished 20 years ago as a sign of progress. My son’s current school, Nightingale Primary, is not perfect. But it has dignity as a school, and room to play: There’s a grassy hill with enough bushes and trees for a game of hide and seek, plus a bee hive, kitchen garden, football pitch and three surfaced play areas, one for nursery, one for reception and one for everyone else. All of this will be sold off to build flats that likely will be sold for 'investment' - it may be that no one actually even lives there. Children spend 30 per cent of their life in school, with profound effects on their health and development. A 2007 Danish study showed that fresh air ventilation rates are linked to pupil performance. In a study of 2,111 Spanish schoolchildren, time spent in (not near) green spaces reduced behavioural and emotional problems, reducing hyperactivity and improving ADHD scores. A six-year American study on 905 Massachusetts elementary schools found pupils in schools with more ‘greenness’ scored higher in standardised tests. Chinese scientists discovered a 23 per cent reduction in shortsightedness among children who spend an additional 40 minutes in the sun. In a wealthy city such as London, there is no excuse for such poor stewardship of a land asset that, once sold, will be gone forever. With the shortage of school places, we will need education land to build on. We once battery-farmed hens until it was found to be too cruel. Are we going to battery-farm our children? Please help us stop the Hackney Learning Trust.

ITs. important because the BBC is now having to make up the shortfall in income from the over 75s instead of the government, so more cuts in the BBC services to meet this cost. Many pensioners are strong supporters of the independent and wide ranging services provided by the BBC and many could easily afford the monthly DD of about £12.

Writers who are not white men have contributed hugely to our understanding and appreciation of poetry, and it is unforgivable and unrepresentative to exclude them from a national celebration of poetry. Women and people of colour have been consistently ignored, sidelined and poorly treated in academic and arts circles, often not being taken as seriously as white men doing the same things as us to a similar or even lower standard. As TV licence fee payers, we have a right to be fairly represented and to see ourselves - and a true reflection of the arts world - in the programming we pay for.

The wealthiest Englishman in this country, the Duke of Westminster, whose property company, the Grosvenor Estate, made half a billion pounds gross profit in their last financial year, want to redevelop six small independent galleries on the Pimlico Road, London, two of which have been trading from the same galleries for 50 years between them. The proposed redevelopment will oust many from their homes, demolishing their small 19th century galleries, retaining the facades, to create three vast showrooms by incorporating a 175 year old timber yard, the last remaining timber yard from the early Victorian period still in use today for its intended purpose. -- Please see attached articles: www.thepimlicoroad.com/newsons-yard NEW ARTICLE: http://www.antiquestradegazette.com/news/2016/jan/27/pimlico-dealers-protest-against-redevelopment/ https://londonhistorians.wordpress.com/2015/07/23/sigh-more-luxury-flats-pimlico-this-time/ http://homesandproperty.co.uk/property-news/news/duke-westminster-gives-pimlico-small-shopkeepers-boot-make-way-large-stores-and-luxury-flats http://www.thepimlicoroad.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Pimlico-Development-A-Traders-Point-of-view_edited-2.jpeg World Of Interiors article on the Timber Yard by Phillip Davies 'Logging the Past' October 2015 RELATED CONTENT: http://spitalfieldslife.com/2016/02/02/the-creeping-plague-of-ghastly-facadism/
