Often especially in local elections people vote for the party not the individual. However too often councillors switch parties or lose the whip. This can change the balance of power on a council and often is against the wishes of the people who voted for them. We need to ensure the integrity of local councils and force a by-election for all switches of alliance.

By removing Abbey Wood's Crown Post Office you are causing the loss of good jobs and services which will hurt the local economy, as well as the rapidly growing numbers of people living in the area especially vulnerable groups - such as pensioners and the disabled. Many services - banking, passport and identity services- can only be provided at Crown (not franchised) Post Offices, and since the nearest, by public transportation, is at Dartford the loss of Abbey Wood Post office would place an unacceptable barrier to many people accessing these services.

The community needs a family friendly and drug free social hub, to enable them to socialise and unwind.

Starbucks are: TAX DODGERS http://fortune.com/2016/03/11/apple-google-taxes-eu/ UNETHICAL http://www.justmeans.com/blogs/starbucks-most-unethical-coffee-chain-in-the-uk UNHEALTHY https://www.organicconsumers.org/news/starbucks-coffee-and-your-health-bucking-starbucks-experience On campus services should focus on value for Students, fair and ethical trading practices and support for the local community. Not to support a company with a history of ethical and environmental abuses, one which aims to drive out local business and which profits from horrible foreign working conditions.

Temple Newsam Park is a free public park to be enjoyed by everyone. Should these plans go ahead, some areas of the park may be restricted, especially entry/exits to the equipment, the noise from participants will spoil the peaceful calm currently enjoyed. Parking is also an issue, especially at weekends - there just arent enough spaces to accommodate this - any new parking areas would mean taking more of the green available space of the park. Road access to the park will be put under further pressure. There is the issue of felling existing trees to make way for this, disturbance to the natural wild life and bird life living in the park. Temple Newsam is beautiful as it is, it does not need enhancing, please sign the petition in support.

Because he's a fucking legend and I believe that not only would he be an excellent addition to the festival, but that he would learn a great deal from it, and it would be for the weird weekends to get an insight into our culture.

It's important to every single young person in the Atherton community! Not only our community but to whoever else wants to use the skateparks facilities. The atherton skatepark has been home to hundreds of young and old people who are wanting to learn and develop new skills either it be on a bike,scooter,skates,skateboard or just to make new friends who are interested in the same sports! The skatepark has had a massive influence on the younger generation myself and others that I can vouch for, it's kept myself out of trouble and lead me to do something I love doing! Taking that away from us just because of a few bad individuals wouldn't be fair atall, TO SAVE ATHERTON SKATEPARK SIGN THIS PETITION! SHARE THIS!

SimSimi has quickly become one of the U.K.’s most popular apps. Yet, this chat-box is often used to bully others. In fact, it allows users to anonymously programme a series of messages – regardless of how abusive, violent or explicit these may be – so that they are received by the targeted victim as soon as s/he logs into the app and searches their name. Due to the anonymity of these messages, it is next to impossible to hold bullies accountable. For these reasons, schools and even police forces in the U.K. have had to resort to sending letters to parents in order to warn them about the app. Even though SimSimi is restricted to people who are 17 years old or older, many children who are much younger than that have been able to download it. Most parents are unaware of the fact that ‘Simi Simi’ is dangerous for their children and that they could be at risk of bullying, which is bound to have serious implications on them. SimSimi must be banned before it causes even more damage. A few years ago the website Ask.fm was banned – but only after a few teenagers had committed suicide following the bullying they experienced using it. We must be quicker this time to ensure the same does not happen again.

Houston Farm provides riding lessons and for all ages, including special needs and disabled children, many of whom have ridden with the Comries for years and very much treat the riding school as a second home. The Comries have provided a safe haven for many Adults and children where the horses have helped provide personal challenges, develop responsibilities and support in times of hardship such as bereavement. The Comries have provided work experience to Oatridge college students and equine experience for the many children and adult helpers. The Comries run regular Pony Clubs, fairs and Ceilidh’s and other fund raising activities to support the retired horses and other charities such as Red Nose Day and is very much more than just a business. Houston Farm cannot be allowed to close, it is too important and provides so much benefit to so many people, of which many are local.

Wandsworth Council is allowing developers to push through planning for this historic building to be demolished before Special Protection for pubs in the borough is introduced in August. North Battersea is already going through extensive change, with excessive development taking place. The local community demands that adequate amenities and services are provided. Otherwise the area risks losing its appeal as a leafy suburb and will become nothing more than a high rise dormitory.

This is not 'wasted, surplus or under-utilised' land - it is a well used, respected and important community asset. Local people value this green park very highly - it is a communal and vibrant community space offering safe play for children and offering calm, perspective and solace for people of all ages. It is part of Mossley's rich heritage and culture and was gifted to local people. If you take away our community there will be no community. No place to gather, to share, to enjoy, to engage with each other. No place for cohesion, for young and old to connect. Take this space off the 'for sale' list - give it back to the community where it belongs. We will sit in this space, we will talk and walk and play in this space. We will think and reflect in this space. We will be proud of this space and of our town. We will maintain it, preserve it and allow it to prosper so it can be enjoyed and appreciated by this and future generations. It is hugely important to us. GIVE COSGROVE GARDENS BACK TO US

It has come to our attention that the licence from GYBC to be able to park and run a soup kitchen on the market place has been refused as the "soup kitchen is not required". Yet, over the last 3 months the soup kitchen has helped out a large number of vulnerable people with both food and clothing. If they were to obtain the licence, that would provide a central point for the Tribal Trust to work from and help provide for vulnerable people to meet for food and drinks / clothing and a friendly chat. It is a much required service in our opinion. https://www.facebook.com/TblTrust/
