We believe this will leave the residents of Gainsborough and West Lindsey with an inadequate service that will put lives at risk

In a shocking 290m privatisation deal, Serco and G4S – the same two companies who were stripped of contracts for tagging prisoners because a Serious Fraud Office investigation revealed they were charging for tagging people who didn’t exist – are going to be trusted with the handcuffs by the Tory government. Essentially, the proposals would see G4S grunts given the powers of Civilian Enforcement Officers. That is, authorised officers/employees of Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service becoming vested with the power to seize and sell goods to recover money owed under fines and community penalty notices, and to execute warrants of arrest, committal, detention and distraint. The sticking point here is that although much of the recovery and enforcement arms of the Court service has long been outsourced to ‘Authorised’ Enforcement Officers (employees of various other private companies), the line has until now been drawn at outsourcing the power of arrest. No more. If the move goes ahead, it represents just another wave in the ever-pushing tide of private expansion into the public sector. In austerity Britain, the standard policy implementation goes as thus: cut funding to the public service, then privatise the public service for profit.

Scotland's publicly contracted ferry services carried over 5.5 million passengers and 1.5 million vehicles, including road freight in 2016. Audit Scotland estimate the annual subsidy to be around £153m. Lifeline ferry services are crucial links between remote island communities and the mainland, enabling people to visit family, work and access health, education and other services. They will always be needed, whatever the available profit levels. When the Scottish Government awarded the £243m 2012-18 Northern Isles Ferry Service (NIFS) contract for services between Aberdeen and Scrabster to Orkney and Shetland to Serco in May 2012, many thought that this would improve the service. In fact, despite a 10% (£18m) increase in subsidy Serco NorthLink and rising fares revenue, passenger and vehicle numbers have declined, along with punctuality and reliability of these lifeline services to remote Northern Isles communities. The Minister for Transport and the Islands, Humza Yousaf MSP announced on 2 February 2017 a review of ferry procurement policy, including the option of bringing all public ferry contracts permanently in-house, using a 'Teckal' exemption from EU competition and State Aid laws. In the short term, this has resulted in an extension to Serco NorthLink's current contract. The Scottish Government has also confirmed that a taxpayer subsidised fares scheme, Road Equivalent tariff (RET) will be introduced on NIFS routes in 2018, adding up to £4m per year in public subsidy. RET was rolled out on the larger, publicly operated Clyde and Hebrides (CHFS) contract in October 2015, driving growth in passenger and vehicle numbers on the lifeline ferry network serving communities and businesses off Scotland's west coast. A major programme of investment in new vessels and harbour infrastructure is also planned on the current £1 billion CHFS contract, which was awarded in May 2016 to CalMac for an eight year period. We want the best for passengers, staff, communities, businesses and taxpayers from Northern Isles Ferry Services and the only way to achieve that is to Nationalise NorthLink.

At the moment on a really good day we get 5.00 Mbps, at the moment i get 1.00 Mbps. By 2013 they said they said they would upgrade our WiFi to fibre broadband (about 30.00 Mbps)(which is about 5X better than it is now) which they never did.

The library is an important part of the community providing a gathering place for people of all ages. Providing activities for children of all ages and space for other groups. Removal of the library will also make it difficult for many people to gain access to books in the community of Desborough. It is also a vital access point to the council for many people with restricted mobility due to the help desk

Lost beds in Derbyshire could mean that people are sent home to recover from illnesses rather than being kept under observation. Let’s make sure that our NHS doctors can make decisions they think are best for patients. Our NHS is already being starved of funds. The percentage of Government spending on healthcare in 2015-16 was 6.6%. It used to be close to 10%. We are now spending about the same as Slovenia and Iceland and behind Greece and Belgium. While there is a need to join-up care in Derbyshire this is being done in the context of £22 billions cuts in the NHS and may well result in loss of nearly a third of hospital beds in Derbyshire. How can we afford to lose more beds? This continued degradation of the NHS will foster the call for further break-up of the NHS and selling off to the private sector. Created on behalf of the Derbyshire NHS SOS Campaign

Cllr Margaret Pattison, Cllr Janice Hanson, Cllr Darren Clifford and Cllr David Whittaker are very concerned with living in a seaside area such as Morecambe and Heysham that children should have a local pool to learn to swim. The pool has 54.000 visitors a year with 16 schools using the pool for swimming lessons and groups helping people to keep fit and healthy, if closed this would effect the health and safety of the people in Morecambe.

Our health is our most precious asset. Moves to close provision in South West Acute Hospital in Enniskillen will force patients to undergo an unnecessary and lengthy journey to facilities which may be up to two hours drive away. There has been a huge amount invested (wasted on PFI) in our new hospital - it makes absolutely no sense to be paying huge sums for a fine hospital but with no services in it. After huge demonstration of people-power in response to the 'sham' pre-consultation exercise on Stroke services and the WHSCT six week consultation on brutal front-line health cuts it is clear the people of Fermanagh reject further service closures. Now that the WHSCT has performed a u-turn on its proposed emergency cuts we want to see a similar u-turn on the threat to SWAH's Stroke department. We also demand that those services not mentioned in the cuts consultation such as ENT, orthopaedics and Respiratory are maintained as they are and that Neonatal services which were subject to a temporary downgrading in 2014 but one which has never been lifted are restored to full operating status. In Fermanagh we pay our taxes and we work hard - longer hours than most parts of NI. We demand and deserve local, quality health services and decent social care provision for our most vulnerable. We demand local GP services that we can see quickly when needed and quality medical provision close enough to make the difference when we need it. Health services have been provided in our county for decades without a problem. It is only a problem now - we fear a crisis is being engineered to open the door for private medicine to make us pay for decent local services when we should be able to access them through the NHS. Hands off our NHS!

The Directors of Airedale NHS Trust are about to transfer the staff who run hospital buildings, grounds and purchasing departments in to a private company. This private company can only provide cheaper services to the hospital if it cuts jobs and erodes and Terms and Conditions: pay, pensions and sick pay of existing and future employees. Lower wages and increased work will hit morale, make it harder for working families to make ends meet and hit our local economy. The NHS is not only a provider of health care for all, free at the point of need but an important provider of good quality, fairly paid jobs.

This will be detrimental to all of the stalls, financially and through loss of footfall. During the work we will be expected to trade on what will basically be a building site. Some of the older traders have been through this before and do not want to repeat it again. With this uncertainty those who want to retire are finding that their business is un sellable. The empty stalls are not being taken up as no one wants to invest in something that might not be worth anything if they make us move. A lot of traders have within the last 2 years invested a lot of money into their stalls. If we have to move there is no guarantee that we will own our stall, but more likely that we will have to rent it from the council, meaning that we all loss what is the biggest asset of the business. The chip, fish, meat, etc stalls have specialist equipment that is not sellable or moveable. It seems that the council officers are throwing away good money / tax payers money on something that has been shown by other markets that doesn’t work. As stall holders we would prefer that the money was used to regenerate the market in its current location, to pay for a reasonable cleaning and maintance schedule (which they apparently do, but we see no signs of it), and a competent market manager.

YOU USE IT - DON'T LOSE IT The accessibility to the estuary seawall via the path which runs alongside Bradwell power station is under threat. Although the area has, in the past, been maintained by the power station, the footpath has no official designation. To ensure it remains open and accessible, Essex County Council is being requested to officially designate the path as a Public Right of Way. There is a petition form in the village shop – which aims to demonstrate to Essex County Council that the path is sufficiently used to justify becoming a Public Right or Way. So if you would hate to lose this access, please sign the petition which asks how long you have been using the footpath. Additionally, you can comment on this post and/or share it with others in the Dengie who also enjoy the benefits of getting to the estuary via this path.

35 children’s centres are due to be closed and replaced by 9 ‘hubs’ in new proposals from Buckinghamshire County Council. Well established, ‘safe places’ like children’s centres are key in helping people access early help and support in order to prevent issues escalating. Other services this will affect include: Bucks Family Information Service Advice and support for young people through Connexions (Adviza) Early Help coordinators Families First Family Resilience Support for children who have lived with Domestic Violence (Refuge and Outreach) (Women’s Aid) Support for parents through Barnardo’s Young carers support Youth Services These existing services for 0-19 year olds and their families will be brought under one umbrella Parents of young children know they can come to their local centre for support and someone will be there to give them information and sign post them to the right help. Once again it is the most vulnerable who will be affected by these decisions. Barriers in accessing help can amongst other things result in more expense later on. Stripping the community of vital assets is completely unacceptable. Children's centres should remain open in their familiar, easily accessible locations. This is an issue of public health.

This is a very important issue for the OAP's and disabled members of the communities affected. These people use our bus service as a way of staying completely independent for as long as possible. These changes to this bus route will leave the most vulnerable members of our community alienated. A short while ago, an elderly relative of mine walked home with a couple of bags of shopping. This is around the same distance as he would be forced to walk to and from his now closest bus stop - if these changes go ahead. Unfortunately due to this he suffered a heart attack. Thankfully he made a full recovery. My worry is that the people like the relative I speak of will just give up and stay at home. They shouldn't have to do this. We have had a bus service to Afoneitha for as long as I remember, having grown up there. It's important to our OAP's and disabled folk that this service isn't taken away from them. Stop the changes to service 3 and 4 - let Rhostyllen, Garden road and Afoneitha keep their vital bus service.

We believe in free childcare as a step toward a poverty-free Britain. The government must do all they can to get adults living in deprivation back into education and into work. Free childcare is therefore a MUST. Currently free childcare is available for all regardless of income for children over the age of three. As a teacher in the further education sector (not university based) I have had women either not show up to classes due to lack of childcare, quit a course or not show up all together for the same reason. Often, these women have been in need of support in the array of ways only a classroom can provide. As I am a lecturer in teaching English to speakers of other languages, I specialise in catering for the needs of refugees, asylum seekers and migrants. Often facing social isolation, the classroom is not only a place for learning but a place to feel like a human being again. It isn't fair that I have had to turn women away from classes because they need to come in with their young, screaming children. Other further education teachers will know what I am talking about! I have done what I can in the past, but it is the other students in the class that often have to put their foot down and say they can't concentrate when there are children in the room. It affects the material of discussion and in the past I have even had to provide under 5's with things to do to keep them occupied. The mothers often have to leave the room, dragging their children to the bathroom, disrupting class discussions or the kids play on their mum's mobile - music blaring, guns firing. Us adult ed. teachers do our best but we shouldn't have to play nursery nurse too. There is a proven link between poverty and inaccessible childcare especially for single parents. A child raised in a single parent household is twice as likely to live in deprivation as a child raised by a couple. Current early years provision is just too expensive for those on lower wages. Furthermore, lack of funding for established nurseries means that there are extremely limited places available, often on a first come, first serve basis. So if a parent doesn't get their child into the creche on time, the parent doesn't get to attend class. For equality between rich and poor, parents and non parents, single parents and coupled parents, free childcare for all, regardless of income, must be made available. Without it, these groups of people are not getting equal rights to education and employment. Educate to Liberate is calling on the government to make it pay to work. We ask them to make it pay for people to go back to study. Anyone would think they wanted to keep people in the poverty cycle not help them out....

Bield care homes provide care for more than 160 people in Scotland, all of whom are about to lose their homes. Most of these residents are elderly and have complex needs, including Dementia. My own Grandmother, who has just celebrated her 87th birthday is a resident in one of these care homes. This has been her home for the past 18 months. Leaving her house of over 50 years was a massive wrench. The thought of her having to find new accommodation, and go through another settling in period, particularly with her Dementia as advanced as it is, doesn't bear thinking about. The impact on her mental health would be catastrophic. For a person living with Dementia, having familiarity of surroundings and staff hugely contributes to them feeling safe and secure. How sad that for so many of Bield's residents all that they know is about to be taken away from them. Bield's overarching values include "Dignity" and "Caring" for all of its residents. I fail to see how making over 160 older people homeless is in anyway upholding these values. We implore the Scottish Government to take action against these closures in order to spare these residents further distress.

Traffic is fast and constant flow and very near misses with pedestrians. Cars are parked everywhere making this area dangerous for pedestrians to cross. For the safety of the community and safety of pedestrians and school children.

In 2011, residents voted against a merge of the councils in a referendum. If the conservatives want to now merge, they must seek a mandate to do so. To go ahead without properly consulting would be a betrayal to local residents. Whether you think it's a terrible idea or a good one, residents must have a say.

Sandfield house is a beacon of hope in our community for people who struggle with mental health issues, over the years it has helped countless individuals also their families have piece of mind knowing their loved one is safe and looked after.

The EU referendum represented a low point in post war UK democratic politics. Only now are problems coming to the fore that were not considered in the referendum and not debated at the time. Oeople did not know the consequences of them and Brexit impact reports are being unacceptably hidden from the people. This is unacceptable and we need a final decision when we know exactly what Brexit means and that means the full terms of an any deal.

The tubs get stolen and the rubbish gets blown all over the streets. We want N E LINCS council to realise we do want to recycle but the tubs are so impractical

People in receipt of benefits are generally, by their very nature of having to claim a benefit, in a vulnerable financial situation. The changes to the benefit system as JCP centres roll out the Universal Benefit programme is causing considerable and maybe severe financial disruption for some of our most vulnerable members of society. These persons SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FINANCE the rollout by having to pay 55p p/min to make a call with a query they have about the changes that are affecting the fabric of their lives. Many people end up on hold - AT 55P PER MINUTE! It is immoral to charge people to use this helpline.

As there has been footage of violence at both Arsenal's and Tottenham's football grounds, it is only a matter of time before someone gets hurt.It is a public right of way on match days to pass through, however when the potential of trouble is imminent local residents are denied this access. There have been many incidents of abuse and threats made on social media which I find childish and classless. If they have paid dues like every other filming body to the local authority then so be it, however it is a public space for use by all. I am writing to the club to establish who funds the security of the said people and only ask, not that they stop, they have the right to an opinion, but that it moves for safety reason into somewhere more suitable as they did in their beginnings .

We need Linaker as it stands, the same building, all day every day access and the same friendly staff! Southport children centre's saves lives! Anybody can become vulnerable at any time in their life, childrens centres, family support workers and other professionals based at centres like Linaker are nothing less than real life superheroes! The community, the children, the parents and the professionals ALL need the local childrens centres! Stop tradgey happening and help save our local childrens centres!

The Royal mail depot on Wynne Road, SW9 operates until midnight, and starts at 4am. New flats have been built opposite (completed April 2017) and sold to young Londoners on the HTB scheme, the land was sold by Lambeth council itself. Residents are now being woken up daily due to the noise made by loading and unloading during these unsocial hours. The engines are kept running, trolleys rattled on the road, reverse beeping from the vehicles can be heard, as well as loud loading noises. Royal Mail refuses to use their car park at the back of the building and instead use the loading bay at the front of their building, and double yellow marked areas directly outside the flats.

At the moment I am going through a tough patch with anxiety and depression and I find myself feeling scared. I increasingly feel that I want to go to hospital, but am aware that it is much harder to become an inpatient than it was 20 years ago. An issue I saw on the Government petition website made me think. If long term sufferers like me, or their families, phoned 999 they could be put through to a person trained to deal with these issues. They could provide immediate support or intervention or a referral. This would free up the police and ambulance services. If another emergency service needed to be involved, this could be assessed and coordinated. Equally, one of the other emergency services could contact the mental health team for advice or to require a physical presence by one of the team. This has been inspired by the following petition: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/172423

On the 4th December, 2013, the government announced that children who were in foster care would be allowed and supported to remain with their foster carers until they were 21 years of age. There was much celebration amongst campaigners when the announcement was made. However, those celebrations did not extend to children and young people in children’s homes. Children in residential care are not included in this change even though arguably the residential sector cares for possibly the most vulnerable and disadvantaged young people who may be unable, or indeed choose not to be fostered. ECLCM is a campaign group, without funding or political affiliations with any other group, formed to stop Government discrimination against children in residential care who want support to 21, the same as those in foster care. One young 15 year old in residential care said: Just because foster children are settled in a family environment does not mean that young people in residential are not. I would love to live here until I am 21.' Children in children’s homes will still face being discharged from care at 18 (or even younger) and facing the savage disadvantages that life can bring. We know from the feedback we received that these young people were not celebrating last week. It is our view that increasing the care leaving age for fostered children and not those in other residential settings will have unintended consequences. It will: • create a ‘two tier’ care system, in which children in foster care receive longer aftercare support than those residential settings; • create an ‘underclass’ of children in care who have to leave care at 18; • reduce real choice for children as they will be compelled to accept family care in order to gain better aftercare; • create serious issues for social workers when family placements are breaking down. Instead of considering a residential care option, they may repeat family placements in an effort to protect aftercare; • have an impact on the self-image and confidence of children in residential settings other than foster care, who may feel undervalued and discriminated against by a change which excludes them through no fault of their own. We welcome the change in leaving age for fostered children to 21 years of age. We congratulate the campaigners who achieved this and acknowledge work that took place over several years. However, we feel that to accept this change whilst excluding other children in care is discriminatory and not sufficient. We ask that the government support all children and young people in care to 21 years of age. We ask all those who share our view to support our campaign for equality. It is the least we can do for our children.

The Council are planning to demolishing this Historic community building. [1] Right now, the building is being used by various youth groups including Scouts and providing a vibrant local community hub. This historic building has been a school, a community centre, and seen generations of children use it and learn in it. CADW, the Welsh government body that conserve the heritage of Wales, are considering making the 122-year old Bodlondeb school a listed building. Over the years, numerous architects have been cautious to preserve the building as much as possible. An archeological report warns: “The impact of development would result in the loss of a heritage asset of at least local significance.” [2] We believe it would be a shame if the Council were to just demolish it. We, the undersigned, want to see future generations be given the same opportunities to use Bodlondeb school for community activities for all ages, from spinning classes to knitting.

These are amazing carers who maintain and promote independence for people who have various and complex care and social needs. Our assistance dogs care for us 24/7 who should be legally recognised by the government and save the government millions a year in care charges. The government needs to offer people the right to be able to claim for these costs to be able to keep us independent and motivated and socialised within the community. The average homecare cost is £200 per week the average cost of an ADUK is about £50 per week. Some more progressive councils allow for these amazing carers to be honoured and covered by a direct payment, whilst other councils take the guideline discriptor of carer ( meaning human ) as literal- this should be addressed to show the change since it was written. It will also help with the crisis in the health and social care situation.

The cafe lost its community feel, the prices were extortionate and it felt unfriendly. We NEED to have a place once again the locals can gather around and meet up on an afternoon with the kids. Somewhere ALL people from the community feel welcome and can enjoy. When Tula ran the cafe we had this kind of place, I spent my childhood there and would love for my children to spend theirs there also and the elderly would be welcomed to have a cup of tea!

The night care component of Disability Living Allowance (DLA) or Attendance Allowance (AA) is awarded on a national level by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to those deemed to require support during the night. Enfield L.A. have no rightful claim on the night care component of DLA or AA since they do not provide these people with night care. The new charging policy from Enfield L.A. indicates that it will add £27.45 per week (the night care benefit) to a disabled person’s charge for day services without any justification. In reality, this night care is mostly provided by families, at no cost to Enfield L.A. We all know that these caring families actually save the Local Authority considerable sums of money and as outlined above, there is no logical basis for this money being charged.

There are no toilets at any park in Oxfordshire that have facilities suitable for disabled children. Other counties have them! • The replacement of toilets in Abbey Meadow is a fantastic opportunity for including toilets suitable for disabled children! • In terms of their utility for the community using Abbey Meadow, the new toilets will actually be worse than what is there now… there will be only four individual cubicles compared with the seven toilets there now. • Spending money on inadequate and unsuitable facilities is fiscally irresponsible. • Not spending money on toilets for disabled children is morally indefensible. Here is a full list of the issues with the new toilet designs 1. No facilities at all for disabled children and adults who cannot self-transfer. • At last! There is an inclusive playground in Abingdon. This has been extremely popular with families with disabled children from across the Vale this summer and with Kingfisher special needs school, but visits are time limited by a lack of toilet facilities. Why build an inclusive playground without inclusive toilets? 2. ‘Accessible’ toilets are not actually accessible. • They are very small and based on the minimum standards for a standard ‘hospital-type’ wheelchair. They do not consider electric chairs or the larger, specialised chairs used by most disabled children. They do not consider mobility scooters. There is no room for any kind of carer assistance. 3. Too few toilets. • We are going from 6 toilets in traditional stalls plus disabled loo to 4 individual cubicles. 7 to 4 is a massive downgrade. 4. Child safeguarding and safety Two of the toilet doors are on the unobserved Mill Stream side and will be further obscured by decorative screens. What is to stop and adult forcing their way into an individual cubicle after a child and locking the door? No-one can hear or see what is going on in there. 5. Health issues • What if someone becomes ill in an individual cubicle, or has a fall? • How will anyone ever know? They could be in there all day. 6. False alarms • The two ‘accessible’ toilets will need emergency pulls. • Oh what fun it will be for children pulling on those irresistible red handles! 7. Nightmare logistics of taking multiple children (and yourself) to the toilet • With the individual cubicles, the logistics of taking multiple children becomes a mathematical logic puzzle. Which child shall I leave outside on their own? 8. Children getting locked in… this happens surprisingly regularly. • How do you extract a child from an individual cubicle which does not have a lock you can open from the outside? 9. Nefarious activities • A nice private unisex cubicle… unobserved, quiet and discreet… what could people possibly get up to in there?

It’s essential that Tylorstown and the wider community of the Rhondda Fach Keep this pool. We have seen closure after closure a loss of services and amenities. We have very poor transport links so it can be difficult to travel to other pools. The loss of the the pool will be detrimental to the children and residents of Tylorstown- other options must be considered.

HGV drivers keep the whole of the UK moving. Parking charges of between £20-£40 per night is overpriced. Drivers are being forced to park in laybys and industrial estates at night. Services in countries across Europe offer free parking for HGV drivers. We need to take breaks and relax in places where we have toilet and shower facilities so that we can work to our maximum capabilities and be fully refreshed before spending 9 to 10 hours a day on the public roads. Drivers (who are being paid not much more than minimum wage in some cases) cannot afford to park in motorway services this is affecting their health and their rights to good working conditions. More and more companies are refusing to pay for this as soaring fuel costs force them into making cut backs. The motorway services are already over charging for other services with some not even including a free shower in their prices. It is time the minister for transport stepped in along with the RHA (road haulage association) to find a solution to the problem

This is the biggest attack on the NHS you've never heard of. For the last few years the news has been full of winter and summer crisis in the NHS, with A&E's closing their doors and ambulances unable to discharge their patients.(1) Now the Chief Executive of NHS England, Simon Stevens, has created a plan to solve this by CLOSING more A&Es. He thinks if you close hospitals people will stop using them. (2) Called Sustainability and Transformation Plans he has split the country into 44 areas - called 'footprints'. Each 'footprint' was told in late December last year that they must have a plan by 30th June this year to completely change the way the NHS works. To work they have to be able to prove they can clear their massive debts within a year. To do that they have to close services and sell land and hospitals. Has a hospital closed near you? Is it under threat? Simon Stevens says that to make the NHS affordable we, the public, must get used to no longer having a major hospital within easy reach. This was planned in 2013, but shelved until after the 2015 election as being 'politically sensitive'. It looks like the STP has taken that off the shelf and that is very bad news. In 2013 there were 140 full A&E hospitals in England. We could be be left with between 40-70 A&Es. Closing A&Es is very bad for your health. (3)   There is a link to TTIP. Jeremy Hunt hired Simon Stevens to take over NHS England in 2014. Before that he was President of global operations for United Health of America where he was a lobbyist for the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. He didn't oppose it. He fought to open up public health services like our NHS to US private health corporations. We know TTIP and the NHS are top campaigns for 38 degrees members. (4) Now he's in charge of our NHS! He is driving through a change which will eradicate our NHS and replace it with a US style health service. These new organisations could even be run by US corporations, holding the budgets and deciding what care will be provide and who can get it. This is what the Sustainability and Transformation Plans are doing to our NHS. See blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2016/08/05 and Updates, below. TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE THIS A MILLION SIGNATURES FOR THE NHS! We think this is the last big battle to save our NHS. If you want it to be there for your children and grandchildren in their time of need then fight now.

Because it's correct.

We are a commuter Town between Dundee and Aberdeen with a growing population, we need better links to the outside world to help the local economy flourish !

People are and have died due to bed shortages and closures of Accident and Emergency departments within our NHS hospitals, The Government keep promising extra beds and staffing levels, so lets get them to prove it.

Cars have been speeding round these streets at break neck speed something needs to be done before someone is killed

Why? -To reprint the existing design on Vitreous Enamel (which is harder to deface with graffiti than the current panels) would be considerably cheaper for the supposedly cash-strapped council. -B OUR GUEST was the result of a community collaboration by youth groups accross Brixton (see below) - which allowed young residents to contribute to the local environment and community, rather than design/branding agency. -The design has become a recognisable feature of Brixton, appearing in artwork, photography, and local, national and international publications. -With Brixton changing and local landmarks at risk, it's important than preserve the history of the the local area. History of the B OUR GUEST project: The BOURGUEST design was a result of a Community Art Project facilitated by artist Jason Gibilaro, to have a design that was clearly visible from all travellers entering by bus, on foot and by car as a welcome to Brixton. The B was designed as part of the B Electric campaign to promote Brixton - The 8 other letters resulted from a series of Art Workshops from 8 different Youth Groups across Brixton. Each Youth Group was given the task of designing a letter, with the theme of reflecting the local character of Brixton. 80 young participants took park from than the follow groups to create a letter each: O Papa Papa's Park Community Playground U Loughborough Adventure Playground R Angell Adventure Playground G Max Roach Adventure Playground U Tulse Hill Adventure Playground E Windmill One O Clock Club S Popular A credit sign has been installed under the bridge giving details of the project and acknowledging all the participants. The BOURGUEST design was used for the invitation card for the showcase of Brixton’s Creative and Cultural Community held in the City Hall in March 2004.

The proposed closure of the Millbrook Unit has serious implications for the health and wellbeing of thousands of Cheshire East residents across the entire borough and threatens to damage the lives and treatment of so many. Government and council funding cuts have left our local health services stretched to the max, with mental health provision now dangerously poor. The closure of the Millbrook Unit would mean patients and families having to drive over an hour to access the care and treatment they so desperately need and deserve in Chester or on the Wirral. At a time when we are facing a crisis in mental health, we cannot allow this to happen. (Petition organised by Rob Vernon on behalf of Macclesfield Constituency Labour Party)

Cranbrook is a vastly growing town with a huge population of children under 5. In fact we are in the top 5% of the country and to take away a service that has been offered for nearly 5 years at this thriving group is a huge blow. Our group is inclusive and caters to children of all ages up to preschool and so is much more suibale for parents who have children of various preschool age. This group supports families old and new and helps people forge friendships in what can sometime be an isolating time in new parents lives, especially if they are new to the area. Baby weigh and health services were a big lifeline to new parents as they could meet other new mums and dads and often their children will grow up with the group and stay with us until they start preschool. Now we have lost this vital service, we have lost a lot of babies coming to group which in turn may mean we will not have the toddler's coming along when the babies grow up. We are aware there is a Tuesday session available but by all accounts this day is not suitable for all and by taking away the Thursday session it will put more pressure on the Tuesday group with waiting times and maybe not being able to seek the advice needed from the health worker in attendance as so many people will want the same.

This station is on the mainline route from Swansea/Cardiff to Manchester and Holyhead, and serves a huge area of Monmouthshire and South Powys, the Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains as well as the town of Abergavenny. There are 2 ways to reach the far platform at Abergavenny. One is by a steep footbridge which has 45 steps and is difficult to negotiate, especially in bad weather. The other is to cross the line, accompanied by a member of staff. If you wish to do the latter, then you are expected to phone to notify your request to travel at least 24 hours beforehand. If you wish to travel out of office hours, there will be no members of staff at the station and you are dependent on the guard or the driver of the arriving train to accompany you across the line. So much for spontaneity of travel for many people! We want a bridge with passenger lifts to give full access for disabled passengers, older people and those with heavy luggage. 30% of the population in Monmouthshire is over 60. We were granted the money and planning permission for the bridge about 5 years ago. It never happened because Network Rail could not work out what to do about the position of the signal because the driver’s view of it would be blocked by the new bridge. We demand that Network Rail solve this problem, find the resources and, either replace or resite the signal in order that work on a bridge and lifts can commence. This is not just important to local people; Abergavenny station is used by visitors to major events such as The Food Festival and the Green Man Festival, the Hay Festival, and the 2016 National Eisteddfod. All these events bring visitors and revenue into the area. If you believe, like the organisers of this petition, that this situation is not good enough and that there should be equal access for all at the station, please sign this petition.

We are requesting that Leicestershire County Council make changes to their street lighting policy to keep our street lights on throughout the night. Everyday, after midnight, our streets are plunged into darkness. This has increased the incidence of crime including house and car burglaries within the area. As residents of Oadby Grange, we feel that switching certain street lights off after midnight, results in extremely vulnerable areas that are targeted as they are totally unlit. In addition to the actual increase in break ins, the part-lighting scheme, also poses a huge risk to the well-being and safety of residents. With many residents being shift workers including hospital doctors, nurses, police officers etc, it places these individuals at great risk when entering their homes late at night in complete darkness especially since many of whom would be fatigued after working a long, late shift. As residents, we can supply a series of personal CCTV footage displaying such crimes, specifically in these unlit areas, to support our claim. It is not safe for us and we have had enough of living in fear! SWITCH ON OUR STREET LIGHTS!!!

We all saw the brave police tackling the terrorists at London Bridge, the firefighters rushing in to tackle the Grenfell fire, the paramedics running to help the people caught up in the Manchester terror attack. And every day nurses working round the clock to keep our NHS going. Our public sector workers keep the country ticking over, from the emergency services who are there when we need them to the teachers who pass on knowledge to future generations. These people shouldn't have to worry about whether they can pay their rent or the electricity bill at the end of the month.

Everyone wants to go on your big ships around the Carribean because of the beauty of the islands and the SMILES and warmth and love of the People. It’s what the World needs NOW!

The traffic on A6097 is too heavy during rush hour, and even with a 40mph speed limit, oncoming traffic is travelling too fast to stop and allow vehicles to cross the road to turn right. The lack of traffic lights at this junction creates a dangerous situation for both the vehicle trying to exit the village and any moving vehicles stopping to allow vehicles to join the A6097 towards Lowdham. The school run being the worst time of the day and with queuing traffic behind, drivers are put under pressure to take risks so they can join A6097. In addition to unnecessary danger, the extended time it also takes to exit the village is currently putting new parents off joining the school.

Notting Hill police station serves all of North Kensington and is situated less than a mile from the Grenfell Tower area. It has been, and still is, an important support centre for the residents and communities affected by the most devastating disaster this nation has experienced in decades. By closing the police station and relocating its staff 1.3 miles further south, people in the north of the borough will feel even more alienated. In addition, Portobello Road, the home of the world’s largest antiques market, is a few blocks from the station. It is visited by millions of Londoners and tourists each year. Also, Kensington and Chelsea has the second highest crime rate of all London boroughs. and of the current 73 police stations in London, Notting Hill is the 16th most visited by the public for reporting a crime. As the borough commander, Chief Superintendent Ellie O’Connor, said at a hastily organised public consultation meeting on 15 August: “If ever there is a time when we should be supporting this borough, it is now” – and keeping the only remaining policing station in the north of the borough is critical in achieving this. And what will happen to the old Victorian police station building if it is closed? The Chelsea police station was sold in December 2015 to a tax haven company for £40 million, which within just a few months sold it on to an investment company in the UAE for at least £50 million (the exact sales figure is a secret). That company plans to turn the site into yet another luxury flat development. We foresee a similar destiny for Notting Hill police station if it is sold as planned. Please sign this petition to save Notting Hill police station! In response to government cuts to the Metropolitan Police budget of £600 million since 2010, the number of police stations open to the public in London have already been reduced from 149 to 73. To resolve a further government budget reduction of £400 million during the next four years, it is now proposed to reduce those 73 to 32 – and Notting Hill police station is one of those proposed to be closed down and sold off. The Kensington police station would then be the only remaining police station in the Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. According to the budget cut proposal, all boroughs except Westminster will only retain one police station each. The loss of police stations is to be compensated by the creation of a better police website and by providing each ward with two patrolling ward officers instead of one. However, these will only patrol their wards during office hours. We therefore demand that the RBKC Council lobbies central government for funds to keep Notting Hill police station open.

Public libraries across Warrington are under threat in Council proposals under consultation right now. Plans propose that some libraries are closed, others replaced with “lockers” and others moved from their current location to shopping centres. Libraries offer easy access to books and information to all of us, and a priceless space for young people to be absorbed in to the world of books. But libraries are about more than books. They also act as important community hubs – spaces in which the community can come together for events and spaces to meet, open to all no matter who they are or where they come from. They are a treasured and valuable asset to any community. Let’s be proud to be a town with fantastic, community libraries.

Southways Nursery School plays a vital role within the local community.The nursery offers an excellent level of care and attention for children aged 2yrs to 5yrs of age. Without this nursery children will have to face the upheaval of being moved to a new nursery and these nurseries adding more pressure to both the nurseries and the parents as they have to travel further to get their child to nursery each morning. This is an excellent nursery with lots of history and ample space to support children during their early years. A closure of this nursery would have a devestating effect on the community around it and the children and parents that use it. Please sign the petition and lets stop this closure and save our chidren, parents and other nurseries undue anxiety and stress.
