We need your help!  Milngavie Football Club (MFC) delivers grassroots, community-based football to hundreds of players on a weekly basis. The club is run for the benefit of the local community and is managed entirely by volunteers. We would like to take on more players in all sections and particularly expand our growing girls’ sections, mini kickers and ASN football, but the lack of local facilities and lack of all-weather capable pitches is severely limiting our capacity to provide consistent and regular training sessions and match day experiences year-round.    What we need    Key to supporting more players in all age groups is the ability to offer reliable training and match day facilities all year round. To achieve this objective, we need investment in a synthetic pitch in Milngavie which can be used to increase player participation across all levels, all year round. At the moment, the grass pitches in our local area become mostly unplayable during wintertime due primarily to the West Coast weather and persistent pitch waterlogging. About Milngavie Football Club   MFC’s aim is to develop footballing and social skills through coaching and enjoyment of football and being part of a team. The club follows the Scottish Youth Football Association (SYFA) Player Pathway, beginning with our Mini Kickers section, progressing through to Fun Fours, and onto 7-a-side football for 8 – 10-year-olds, then 9-a-side, before finally moving onto full-sized 11-a-side football. The club currently has around 50 teams over all age groups, from the mini kickers right up to the Walk Football group.    Milngavie Football Club believes in equality, enjoyment, and participation in football for everyone and the club has recently won the The Herald and GenAnalytics Diversity in Sport Award for 2024.

Milngavie Football Club is also a Scottish FA Platinum Accredited Club, a Scottish FA Disability Inclusive Club and MOR+ accredited club with East Dunbartonshire Council - https://www.edlc.co.uk/sport-leisure/club-development/minimum-operating-requirements-mor-morplus/.    Our primary activities include regular training and matches for all age groups to improve the lives of all those that participate.

Leisure Centres in Powys are not just a place to swim or play sport, they are a hub for communities. Leisure Centres are vital for all communities and without them it will cost Powys Country Council, Powys Teaching Health Board and Welsh Government more money on health provisions in the medium to long term. Where is the prevention is better then sure with any other approach then option 1 ? And what about the future generations act? Mental Health in rural communities must be a priority and it is proven that exercise and being in a sociable environment improves wellbeing and mental health.

Leisure Centres are not just a place to swim and play sport they are a hub for communities including plays, concerts, luncheon clubs, back to health classes. These are so important for all communities and without them it will cost Powys more on health provisions. Where is the prevention is better than cure with any other approach than option 1? And what about the future generations act?

This is so important to supporting local drummers, supporting the local store so it doesn’t disappear forever!  We’ve lost so many drum stores around us throughout the years… The only one left is Play Music Today Norwich… We need this to be the reliable place where everyone can see someone face to face for advice, the things you need right at your finger tips and not rely on the web/online, which is becoming so easy to do now. But, by doing this, it adds to returns, not being able to try products out before they buy or even see them in the flesh! It brings the community together and we can start talking face to face once again! 

For too long pedestrians, cyclists and motorists have had to deal with traffic approaching and leaving Rugby at high speed along the A426. The number of pedestrians trying to cross the road has increased in recent years as more development of residential areas along side this busy road has taken place. More children are walking down the side of the road to get to school, and the number of cars and lorries using it has increased as more logistics depots have been built in Coton Park and Rochberie Heights. There are frequent minor accidents at roundabouts along the length of the road as road markings have worn away and drivers do not observe lane discipline.  Pleas from local councillors to Warwickshire County Council Highways for action to be taken have fallen on deaf ears. We are now calling on the County Council to take action to reduce traffic speed along the section of the road that is currently 60 mph to 40 mph and to review and repaint the lane markings at the roundabouts.

In the last financial year car park charges brought in a staggering £1.161m for SKDC. Despite Stamford only representing 14% of the district's population, the charges for parking in Stamford make up 72% of this figure, over £800,000. Meanwhile parking remains free in Bourne and Deeping. Visitors to Grantham can also park for free for 1 or 2 hours in Grantham's council run car parks. Stamford is therefore subsidising free parking across the rest of the district. Currently visitors to Stamford can park for free from 6 pm to 8 am and all day on Sundays and Bank Holidays. SKDC plan to introduce overnight, Sunday and Bank Holiday charges across Stamford car parks in April 2024. This is unfair and will impact district-run services such as Stamford Arts Centre, whose visitors use Wharf Road car park for free when attending evening classes, rehearsals and performances. This will have an impact on several of the churches in Stamford, many of whose parishioners drive into Stamford to attend services. This will also impact the restaurants and bars in Stamford. It will also add to the parking problems faced by residents of Stamford who rely on limited on-street parking. Please sign if you care about supporting the residents, businesses, churches and visitors to Stamford.

This is crucial to allow residents to make decisions on protecting their homes from further flood risk in conjunction with their insurance process. Flood warnings continue across the county, we need action NOW to help protect our homes. Funds have already been available, the council is simply being slow to act. Please help us to push them to act faster!

The Wivenhoe Public Floating Pontoon was built in 2016. It has seen limited use since it was built. It falls short of a useful / useable length and it still remains impossible to launch small boats. After a pre planning enquiry with Colchester City Council about extending the pontoon with an 8.3 metre launching ramp, they said "we would have no objections to the proposal in principle". Because the pontoon is owned by Wivenhoe Town Council It now falls on Wivenhoe Town Council's Estates Committee to either pursue with a full planning application or not. The launching ramp would give river users an extra 4 hours on the water, safer and easier launch of vessels and offer less abled people access to the river. Please support this venture.

St Helens Labour Council have made the decision to close our library and relinquish the lease in January 2024. Now a listed building, originally dating back to 1588 let's just hope that Diocese of Liverpool retain and maintain the building for the benefit of generations to come. Our libraries do more than simply loan books. They provide events for children, internet access for the elderly, book clubs and more. They’re places for the whole community to come together and learn. Libraries are a door into the world, we need to protect them for future generations.

Its important that we stop this ridiculous charge as it will only increase year after year and we are yet to see anybody from the council maintaining these garage areas.
