Many people, including my aged relatives use the red button to catch up on news/sports etc without having to change to news channels, and have limited or no access to computers/smartphones. This, on top of the removal of free licence fees for over 75's is another hit on the aged people who rely on TV for news and entertainment, with the BBC catering for the younger more savvy people who can access the internet on multiple devices.

mps are voted in the party who they were elected on

All kind if financial; manouveres are being made using our watter as collateral. Surely people in the UK can run our water service better than a bank in Australia; the middle eastern consortium and a Canadian Pension fund. Onstead of the profits going over seas I can think of several projects within Anglia Water catchment area than would benefit. England should consider this a service of vital importance to national security.

This is important because this is a hotspot for a school entrance/exit, entrance/exit to bowling green and adjacent to a elderly housing.In addition to this there is a bus stop where elderly will often get off the bus and walk out onto the road or be stuck unable to cross.

North Tyneside Council currently have a system of parking charges which unfairly discriminates against anyone who has not got/ is unable to use either a mobile phone or debit card to pay for parking. The council also charge till 8pm every evening which is later than all surrounding council areas. Up and down the coastal car parks the council are replacing coin machines with pay by APP or debit card payment only. This means that people who use cash only cannot park as many people do not routinely carry mobile phones or debit cards whilst walking dogs, exercising, using the beach etc.... This ridiculous ruling will also undoubtedly have an undesirable knock on effect of additional parking in residential streets by visitors to the area. People who do not have mobile phones & debit cards for payment are being unfairly discriminated against by the council.

It is needed by the community and is a key part of our local infrastructure - lots of people use it and it has easy access for the disabled and elderly. A lot of businesses in the town rely on the branch to do their banking and have business accounts there.

The assumption seems to be that anyone without a licence is abnormal and needs investigating.Their own website says 'we find one in six people that tell us they don't need a TV Licence actually do need one'. That means 5 out of 6 are wrongly pestered with increasingly threatening letters implying inspection visits and prosecution. I don't have a gun but I don't get letters about my lack of a gun licence. Even if you inform them of your lack of TV, and get on their 'register' it never lasts and more visits are threatened and prosecutions implied. The whole tenor is wrong with an assumption of guilt which is totally against UK common law and out of place with a revered public body.

Over the last few years, the number of events in Locke Park has steadily increased meaning more & more people enjoy what is a wonderful community space. However, that increase in footfall hasn't seen increased investment for parking & the recent double yellow lines on one side of the road has exacerbated the problem. On top of this, the council's decision to grant business licenses to residential properties on the road & the continued use of these homes as HMOs is adding more demand for the very limited amount of space.

It's very important for the" shut ins" especially those who live alone, some in that situation either have no family, or non that visit, the librarian calling once a month is a lifeline, they might not see another human face. This is especially important when many of them might loose their TV licence,it would be catastrophic for these people.

This is very important last year in June 2018 there was a very bad incident which is a cause for concern, a thug who slashed a drunken drinker's throat with Stanley knife in booze-fuelled pub fight. there has been numerous complaints about the above establishment, from A.S.B, Drunkenness Drug Dealings on a daily basic fights, noise pollution and lack of respect for the neighboring tenants around the areas plus we have to take note of the schools within the areas,

It is important for everyone in the Glasgow city council to understand, that you are about to impose an extra financial burden onto some of the most poorly paid people in the United kingdom. I live in dennistoun and I just manage to pay my way, and to ask for £85 per year to park outside my home is just another insult. I pay my council tax and I get less every year for my hard earned. This stealth tax may work in the West end where people can afford this. Make the permits affordable for the good residents.
