This is important because tax payers money once again is being used on vanity projects when they are making savage cuts to public services in Warrington. Cuts to children centres, cuts to youth services, cuts to disability services and many more. We do not want Warrington Borough Council to give 3 million public money to Onside the charity that is behind the proposed development of Warrington Youth Zone. The overall cost of this proposed youth zone will cost the tax payer at todays money and inflation around 7 million pounds. We want the council to reject the proposals and tell the private sector if this is something they want then they should pay for it themselves.

Barts Health NHS Trust is the biggest hospital trust in England, running six hospitals including Whipps Cross, Newham University and The Royal London. It has the biggest health PFI and the biggest deficit. We the undersigned note that: a) Barts Health NHS Trust is in financial crisis with a £93m deficit, the Chief Executive recently resigned, and pending reports on the quality of care and worsening A&E waiting times soon to be released; b) Barts Health NHS Trust is paying £43m a year in interest payments to private investors on the PFI contracts; c) This is a main cause of Barts Health’s deficit and its £58m of cuts last year, including the loss of 10% of posts and the downbanding of staff; d) The PFI contracts make our hospitals outsource key services (like domestics services and catering) to private providers; even when it is more expensive. Barts Health saved 7% of the costs of some services provided under the PFI (or £4m per year) by bringing them in-house. - Learn more about Barts PFI at www.peoplevsbartspfi.wordpress.com - Learn more about PFIs at www.peoplevspfi.org.uk

All the Labour councillors said they were against the cuts, and then voted for £20 million cuts to social care. They told campaigners they opposed these to their faces, and then voted the other way. The opposition councillors even put forward amendments to stop them and the Labour ones voted them down! If they don't resign I will never even consider voting for their party in the future.

Mental health services in Sefton are currently provided by Inclusion Matters, a locally run company. Their staff provide a high-quality service. South Sefton CCG and Southport & Formby CCG have decided to commission the service from cheaper providers from April 2015. The contract for the service has been awarded to two organisations based outside Sefton: Cheshire and Wirral Partnership and Insight UK. Staff have now been informed that the new providers plan to make staff redundant. This is despite previous assurances being given by the providers to the CCGs that they would provide a service of the same consistency and quality. South Sefton CCG and South Formby CCG have made a poor decision based on cost, not quality of care. The decision will impact on jobs and on the accessibility and quality of the service. For the good of vulnerable people, committed staff and the local community, the CCGs should reverse their decision and put care before cost.

Four outstanding grammar schools in Southend (Southend High School for Boys, Southend High School For Girls, Westcliff High School for Boys, and Westcliff High School For Girls) are facing an urgent funding crisis as budget forecasts show that they will not be able to cover costs of all their lessons in the next few years due to loss in government funding. This means young adults of high academic ambition and excellence from all backgrounds in the local area are having their education negatively affected. These four schools, as well as many other successful schools around the country, have long accepted a lower rate of funding because of their grammar school status. All schools have regularly received 'Outstanding' Ofsted reports and this success is in jeopardy. These schools are facing severe cuts and have had to introduce cost cutting measures including increasing class size, reducing class equipment and staff and reducing the number of subjects taught to pupils. These schools have survived and prospered for over a century and through two world wars. They have produced some of the brightest talents in the country in various industries. We must fight to keep up this prestige and continued excellence in some of our best schools. Forti Nihil Difficile (To the brave, nothing is difficult)

This is important, because the false guarantee swayed members vote to support the Governments position. It is important to uphold the position that ministers that mislead the house should be sacked.

Duncan Place Resource Centre has been an active and thriving community centre for over 3 decades. The centre has a large and diverse user group which accommodates all ages, abilities, sexes and ethnicities despite it's lack of capital investment from local authorities. The centre has offered training opportunities to locals since being built in 1915. There are no other centres anywhere else in the capital, and Duncan Place Resource Centre is almost the last community asset in Leith, with many having succumbed to development and regeneration.

Quite clearly Ava Joliffe requires a carer to be with her for a significant period of each day. Her mother estimates that she currently cares for her daughter for approximately 128 hours a week. It is important that this child gets the care and support she quite clearly requires to have a fulfilled life. http://www.itv.com/news/granada/update/2015-03-02/the-8-year-old-at-the-centre-of-a-benefits-row/

One of Britain’s oldest surviving prisoners of war faces being forced into a care home against his will after Brent council refused to pay for his home help. Robbie Clark, a 96 year old War Hero and ex POW, has spent almost all of his life savings to pay for 24-hour care at his home in Burnt Oak, North London. Now the veteran, who was one of the British soldiers who survived Hitler’s 1,000-mile death march across Europe in 1945, only has enough money to last another three months. Mr Clark’s son Mike, 58, has been in a two-year battle with Brent Council over funding his father’s care since the pensioner lost the use of his legs after a heart operation in 2012. Brent Council solicitor Fiona Bateman said in one letter: “The local authority believe it is entirely correct that residential care remains the preferred option to ensure that Mr Clark has access to 24 hour care and support that he requires. His family said he may have to sell his home and they fear being in a care home would kill him. Mr Clark, a father of two with four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, said: I have been in my own place all my life. I have got everything here. My family are near and my friends are near. I am nice and comfortable here and I’d not get that in a care home. It would remind me of being a prisoner of war.

Snibston Discovery Museum is a fantastic educational resource where children can experience hands on activities related to the science curriculum. It is situated on the old site of the main Colliery in Coalville where the remaining two colliery winding house wheels still stand tall for all to see as a reminder of the historical heritage of the area. The site includes a large exhibition hall where there are numerous interactive activities and transport across the ages, colliery tours given by miners who previously worked on the site, outdoor science activities, train rides and many other informative galleries. Snibston is also the home for the Century Theatre - Britain's oldest surviving mobile theatre and is still used for performances and lectures. There are amazing woodland walks to the rear of the building, fishing ponds and places to have picnics. It is a great day out for the whole family and at a very reasonable cost, £7.95 for an adult, £5.50 child or £24.50 for a family ticket. Snibston also organises many themed days for school holidays such as 'Lego Day', Craft Days, Miner's Gala and many more. The 'Friends of Snibston' recently went to County Hall in Leicester to fight against the decision to close the museum. Despite putting up a valiant attempt, County Hall refused to listen and stuck to their own decision to save money, close the exhibition hall and propose that houses be built on the site. The council say that a small mining museum will remain on the site but even this is not definite and it is not a good enough conclusion. Coalville has no need for any more houses. It is a town that desperately needs regenerating and once Snibston has gone then the amount of visitors to the area will be greatly diminished. Numerous school visits from within the area and further afield will have to stop and the children will miss out on a fantastic learning experience. Snibston gives a lot back into the community. Last year visitor figures rose by 15% and the museum was worth more than £2.4m to the local economy. The facebook and twitter pages show how outraged and upset people are at its closure and it means a lot to the town. To see what the museum offers for yourselves log on to www.snibston.com and also visit the Friends of Snibston Facebook page to see the webcasts of the council meeting where you will clearly see how unwilling County Hall is to give any leeway to the proposals. County Hall has proposed that Snibston will close at the end of July. Surely it is not too late to put up a further fight, gather more support and hopefully come to some kind of compromise and resolution with Leicestershire County Council. Please pledge your support and help the people of Coalville fight against this very unfair decision. Thank you.

The proposed cuts to bus services in Brighton and Hove will detrimentally effect some of the most vulnerable areas of Brighton. Particularly the Meadowview area which is home to many low income families and pensioners who will be left completely cut off from the city. The cuts are to affect mostly evening, bank holiday and weekend services leaving many members of our community completely stranded after dark, unable to safely return home, or forced to walk a badly lit and sparsely populated stretches of road. Many of us who regularly use the bus services to Meadowview are disabled and are unable to climb Coombe or Bear road. We strongly oppose the proposed measures as they will affect some of the most vulnerable people in our area leaving them further disenfranchised and segregated from the wider community. Cutting bus services in a city which takes pride in its stance on social inclusion and sustainable development is reprehensible and will have a detrimental affect on some of the most vulnerable members of our community and our environment. We urge you to reconsider the proposed cuts and seek and alternative.
