• Palm Oil
    The devastating effect the farming of this product has on the land, environment, animals and the local population is heartbreaking.

  • No 4G mast in Llangwm/Burton, Pembrokeshire (Penelope Keith's Hidden Villages)
    The villagers have not asked for this mast. There is no proven need or demand for a Vodafone mast. Such a mast would be out of keeping with the area, an area of outstanding natural beauty on the edge of Pembrokeshire Coastal National Parks. It is within 500m of the local primary school and all the inhabitants including children and the elderly in between. We are all concerned about the potential and far-reaching health risks associated with this new technology especially for the many children and ageing population in Llangwm and Burton. We also think it will be an unsightly and unnecessary addition to our pretty Pembrokeshire village. Many tourists come to Llangwm (as featured on Penelope Keith's Hidden Villages) and surrounding villages to get away from things like masts and enjoy what a rural village has to offer. This mast will be in full public view on entering the village of Llangwm and visible from most of the houses situated within it and Port Lion. This has not been put to the public vote or any kind of democratic process. No planning supposedly necessary. The landowner lives elsewhere so he will just take the money offered and have no adverse effects to his lifestyle. Please add your supporting vote. We need as many objections as possible. Why should Vodafone be able to put these things anywhere they like? According to the National Planning Policy Framework Section 5: 43. In preparing Local Plans, local planning authorities should support the expansion of electronic communications networks, including telecommunications and high speed broadband. They should aim to keep the numbers of radio and telecommunications masts and the sites for such installations to a minimum consistent with the efficient operation of the network. Existing masts, buildings and other structures should be used, unless the need for a new site has been justified. Where new sites are required, equipment should be sympathetically designed and camouflaged where appropriate. In this case there is already a mast base station situated in Burton near the top of New Wells Road. This seems very close for another base station to be required. Also the position of this new mast and the minimal tree coverage mean that it will not be camouflaged at any time of year and only from one side during the summer months. The new design of this mast also means it will be a prominent feature during the winter months not in sympathy with the countryside at all. Add your vote if you agree and support us in keeping this ugly structure from dominating our village.

  • Update Musselburgh's Care Homes
    Claire says, "This is important because the people using these facilities are the friends and family of people from our community. With the amount of housing being built this problem can only get worse and it is our parents and grandparents who will be the ones to suffer. "The most vulnerable in our society deserve the best care and facilities that we are able to provide. The care provided by Eskgreen and The Hollies is second to none but they provide that care in spite of the chronic under investment made by our council and government."

  • Disband the Football Association
    Simply the FA needs to be fit for purpose to run the modern game. Sadly it is not. One example: Applying it's own unfair rules that bemuse most fans and put players at risk and allow the perpetrators of violent acts to escape justice. They should apply retrospective action in cases where the referee has seen an act of violent conduct but has failed to properly apply the laws of the game. At present retrospective action is only taken if the referee does not see the incident. This is clearly unfair as highlighted with some high profile cases recently. EG Tyrone Mings 5 game ban. Marcos Rojo no ban. The FA in essence is bringing the game of football into disrepute by not applying laws that are fair to all.

  • Keep hope church.
    The church leaders and trustees at Hope Church on Guillemot Lane have decided to give the church building and land and The Well away to a church network called Elim. They have given away everything that people worked for through being part of the church and volunteering in the community through the Hope Project. They said it was necessary because the responsibility was too much for them but they still have to pay money for repairs and to use the church and The Well. What utter madness. They told the church members they had to support the leaders in a vote which was held last Sunday. Some objected including one of the elders but their objections were ignored. They will now lose control of the buildings and land and if Elim wants to sell them they cannot stop them. This is not what the community wanted in 2001 when the petition was drawn up to stop the sale of the church then. Perhaps another petition is needed to show the church leaders what the community thinks of their actions. So disappointed with their approach to the community assets that God blessed us with. They will say it is to secure the long-term use of the buildings but they do not know this as they have simply given the buildings worth nearly half a million pounds away without protecting the future use by adding conditions to the deal. The leaders/trustees have refused to listen to anyone who objects and if not stopped, they will give away the property any day now. What about replying to this post with a 'like' or comment (don't be rude) and is anyone willing to sign a petition to hand into the church to ask them to stop what they are planning and instead put the buildings into a community trust to protect their future use? So many of the community have been apart of this church and been helped.

  • Toys For Disabilities
    This is an issue which needs to be addressed in order to help the development of children with disabilities. Having recently visited a store with my 7 year old nephew, who has down syndrome, we were shocked to discover that there was not a single section designated to children whose needs differ from normal children. They require sensory toys, often with lights and sounds to aid their development but all that is available in store is similar toys designed for babies and small children not for older children who despite having a disability still need to work on skills such as counting, just through different means.
