• 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.

  • Reinstate Hibbert Elders Heating & Lighting Core funding
    We, the ZADA elders, have been members of, and attending functions including our own coffee mornings at Hibbert Community Centre for many years now. All voluntary groups that use the centre raise their own funds for all their various youth and community activities. The only thing that we have relied on from Bolton Council since 1997 is our core costs which go towards heating, lighting and insurance costs. In late 2016, Bolton Council decided that it would stop funding these basic costs for our thriving community centre based in one of the most deprived areas in Britain. As a result, it is making it harder for our elderly members to attend as frequently as they did given how the cold disproportionately affects the elderly and taking away a vital lifeline to challenge loneliness. Outside of summer, gloves and hats have had to be worn and this makes it harder to participate for so many.
