You have cut back on staff and made your service hopeless for those who need to query you - from personal experience those on low income and having to take agency or multiple jobs in a short space of time are assumed to be tax dodgers and put on emergency rate when they are those who can least afford it, yet you neither investigate or prosecute those who are dodging thousands of pounds in tax. Use money to provide a better service not a pointless additional information exercise.

I feel this is important as people with autism are just as capable of serving their country as their neurotypical counterparts (even more in some cases)

Carers do NOT have sufficient time to do the simple tasks & I can tell you mistakes are made SO how can they be trusted to deal with people's tablets over & above TRAINED Dispensery staff in Doctors surgeries? It I is ludicrous to say the least!! this was taken out of their regulations recently & I cannot see or know the logic of why? IT IS UNSAFE PRACTICE

This will lead to unsafe and dangerous staffing levels being further depleted in future and put existing resources under further pressure. Those attracted to the profession and wishing for a career change will be placed under further financial strain.

The council plans to cut £2.5million from the youth service budget leaving less than one million to work with some of the most disadvantaged young people in London. We have 13 youth projects in the voluntary sector which could suffer as well as 8 youth centres as part of this 73% cuts. What will be left for young people in this Borough? The council promised not to cut front line services yet this is being proposed. We would also lose experienced and specialist workers in the sector as the services would transfer to the Environment and Leisure department. This will de-professionalise and de-skill professional youth workers leaving little to no varied provision. They are planning to delete ALL 122 full and part time jobs and replacing them with 42 part time posts. Southwark News report: 19.11.15 Richard Taylor, founder of the Damilola Taylor Centre after his ten-year-old son was killed on the Peckham estate, said this was no time to cut youth services as serious knife crime continued to blight the borough. “Bearing in mind the level of killing, stabbing and violence, this is not the right time. This is the wrong approach and a bad decision for the council. As Jeremy Corbyn has said 'austerity is a political choice'. Southwark must not abandon young people while sitting on millions of pounds of reserves which can be used to support the local community along with the fight to get more money from central government. Southwark Trades Council will be campaigning with the local government unions and community to stop these cuts. We will be lobbying the Council Assembly and have asked for a deputation at the Cabinet on Wednesday 24th November. Please join us.

So many services are under threat and not always from an inability to fund, but more often from an ideological battle where money is wasted on vanity projects the public never asked for. From Libraries, Museums, to Respite Services ... there is a tendency for people to feel their single issue is more important than another, but all have their own importance, so this is a petition to include some issues not already covered by individual campaigns against a common threat to our daily lives.

Not only are you making a large number of hard-working people redundant, but also these cuts are affecting the residents living within the boroughs and the way that they access council services. For example; The decision to close cash-offices in councils means that, for our older generation, it it now much more complicated to pay their rent and council tax...they have to have a suitable bank account (using unfamiliar technology) and be able to access and understand the new paypoint system. There is a lot to be said for the human-touch....face to face customer service will always be more efficient and effective than automated systems as less errors will be made by the residents and more help available from the council employees.

Many pesticides used in towns have been linked to serious illnesses like cancers and birth defects. Children are particularly vulnerable. Hundreds of towns around the world have already gone pesticide-free It’s time that Cornwall took the initiative and did the same. We need to protect our children from the harmful effects of pesticides. The French government have brought in a law to stop the use of all non-agricultural pesticides by 2020 - so it is possible. If Cornwall were to stop their use it would help protect our children and provide wider social and environmental benefits to all the citizens of this great county.

It is not necessary to control crowds by the use of horses to intimidate them. The horses are in danger as are the humans in the crowd and the riders. There are cheaper and more efficient and more humane methods available. Horses should not be put in dangerous situations.

because they shouldn't be privatized for personal profit and the risk of public crime rising, and police brutality rising due to more armed police force on the streets.

This means local people with local knowledge,there to help when the NEED arises ! Sign this petition to demonstrate the strength of feeling AGAINST a business whose only care is "how much profit"can we make ? G4S have proven,on more than one occasion that they are not a "fit and proper" business to be trusted.

G4S are a shady company trying to muscle in on the public sector and have been known to give large donations to right-wing think tanks such as 'Reform', trying to further their position in the prison industry where they already run 5 prisons in the UK. In 2012 G4S were employed to provide security for the London Olympics, in which they did a poor job which resulted in the army bailing them out. costing the tax payer £1000's Among the Olympics shamble they have been in many other controversies such as u the unlawful killing of Jimmy Mubenga in 2010 and being accused of fraud allegations in relation to overcharging for for tagging criminals in England and Wales. It is vital we don't allow a incompetent company like G4S to run a service which could ultimately mean life or death for 1000's of people, it's too risky.
