Newcastle City Council are planning to remove the well loved play facilities at Elswick Triangle (Normanton Terrace / Kingsley Terrace) play park and replace them with an ‘alternative play use’ or ‘natural play’ area. This means an area with no facilities Our park is one of the few places where ALL residents are able to socialise safely and informally, at two little picnic tables, while the children play on the park equipment. It is much loved and connects many people in our community. In 2018 Newcastle City Council commissioned a report about the cities parks where our ward scored second highest on ‘need of use’ criteria. The report recommended restoring or replacing the play equipment in our Park. Despite this and despite the massive significance of the park in our community the Council have decided to remove it. It shows a complete lack of understanding about our community and what it needs. Please help save it by signing this, sharing it and writing stories of what this park has meant to you. We will send updates from here about the campaign. You can also follow on instagram @save_elswick_triangle_park

Majority of the congregation do not understand the current language used.

Charlies Corner is the only area that is self contained in Wylam and therefore safe for dogs to be let off their leads without worry. Over recent times this has seen the usage of Charlies Corner massively increase, and for it to become a truly valued village asset.

One Stop Shops provide essential support and advice to residents. Up to March 2020, before lockdown, there were eight full-time One Stop Shops serving their local communities. In addition to routine queries, the One Stop Shops advise and support people facing emergencies such as homelessness, or the stopping of benefits for essentials. To save money, the Council proposes to replace the eight community buildings with two One Stop Shops full-time, with a variety of part-time services being offered in other buildings. We are now facing a situation of unprecedented austerity. Many Liverpool residents do not have internet access, and others have complex situations which cannot be dealt with online. Others will not have the money to travel to a One Stop Shop at the other side of the city. We need the face to face service located in our local community.

The cost of parking for the day in the town centre is now £5.50. I believe that is extortionate. Alienating the town and businesses within the town because people are deciding to travel a little bit further to save money. It’s not even free on Sundays and bank holiday anymore - the cost is £1. I believe it should be a couple of pounds for all day. It is discouraging people from choosing Newton Abbot at a shopping destination, costing working staff within the town a small fortune weekly to just be able to attend their workplace. Elderly people will not pay it. It’s extortionate.

The Post Office is intending to close the Post Office Counter in the One Stop shop in Nether Heyford. This would leave many residents of the village, both young and old with no access to banking facilities. Many of them, including the most vulnerable have no access to online banking and would find it very difficult to manage their finances, pay bills, withdraw cash etc especially in the current covid crisis. They would have to make journeys by public transport, which is both costly and scarce, into Northampton to carry out simple monetary tasks. If the Post Office closes this counter, it will have a devastating effect on all our community, and we urge you to reconsider your action.

without it Elgin high st will get more and more quiet! Free parking in our city centre is vital!

Cars are racing through our villages killing animals and pets and before long will be a child or adult.A footpath is needed so as schoolchildren can walk safely to school instead of walking on the road or grass verge.

The road is overdue resurfacing as has many potholes and cracks.

We have to reward and recognise what every nurse has been through not only during lockdown but every single day. In addition how will we be able to encourage the next generations to work hard to qualify when they will be getting paid peanuts. Then the government will pay agency nurses or get people in from overseas again at a more greater cost to us the taxpayers.

For the health and well being of the community.

The pothole problem within Angus is costing the people who live there money with unnecessary car repairs that could easily be avoided if the council fixed the problem.
