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.

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 .

Please consider these points 1) Any train journey from Carlisle to Edinburgh would be quicker than any bus journey. 2) Trains will improve accessibility in the Borders, link communities to key markets through strategic transport routes such as the Waverley Route or Borders Line. 3)This extension will improve access from the Scottish Borders to key markets in to Edinburgh, Carlisle and Newcastle. 4) The track bed should not be another A66 or other road, it should be a reinstated version of a remodelled Waverley Route. 5) Consideration for potential rail freight on this route: Rail freight has soared by 60% over the last ten years and one freight train can carry up to or over the equivalent of 50 heavy-goods vehicles, which is great for the environment. 6) Extending the Borders Railway could have a huge effect on the region, improving transport links to major markets and boosting the economy. 7) Corbyn's re-nationalisation policy will threaten the re-instatement of the Waverley or Borders Route, because after the railways have been re-nationalised their will be less money and projects will take longer due to bureaucracy - relating to a system of government in which most of the important decisions are taken by state officials - over-concerned with procedure at the expense of efficiency or common sense. 8) This remains a region which is all too often left behind. 9) First slated for the axe in 1963 by British Railways' infamous Chairman, Dr Richard Beeching, the closure of the Waverley Route from Edinburgh through the Borders to Carlisle ranks as the worst rail cut in British history, with Galashiels and Hawick left further from a railway station than any other towns of their size in Britain. Now Gala has re-joined the rail network, with a key aim being able to seek restoration of passenger and freight rail services along the entire 98-mile length of the Waverley Route, re-connecting the communities cut off in 1969. 10) Why extend to Hawick & Carlisle? Hawick is the Borders town which has suffered most from the loss of the old Waverley Route in 1969. And to meet its full potential, the Borders also needs a direct rail link to the South. The key benefits of southwards extension would be: a) Better social inclusion, economic regeneration and tourism opportunities; b) An attractive alternative to the car – faster, safer and greener travel for the future; c) sustainable freight transport for timber from Kielder and the Borders forests – getting logs lorries off the roads - one freight train can carry the equivalent of 50 lorries or over; d) a strategic diversionary route, relieving pressure on the busy West Coast Main Line; 11) Can it really be done? Yes! The ambition enjoys support from politicians at the highest levels of government, from Borders Chamber of Commerce – and Scottish Borders, Carlisle and Cumbria councils and high-level planning policies are in place to protect the disused track bed from further redevelopment; 12) What needs to happen next? These key issues need to be overcome: a) A through route to Carlisle to be the ultimate objective with maximum journey time targets of Edinburgh to Galashiels in 50 minutes; Hawick in 70 minutes; Carlisle in 115 minutes and once electrified these timings would be slashed even further; b) Re-examine the case for timber by rail from Kielder and the southern Borders - remember one log freight train can carry the equivalent of about 50 heavy goods road vehicles and a train is less carbon; c) Examine the case for other types of freight to and from the Central Borders; d) Examine the value to the wider rail network of a diversionary route provide a robust infrastructure specification and sensible future-proofing for upgrades; e) Recommend any further planning safeguards needed to protect the railway line of route; f) An early engineering study of the best means of negotiating the Melrose bypass incursion on to the original track bed of the railway - the road could be built on top of the railway or vice versa; Please consider this carefully.

This is such an important part of our community and vital to the health and well being of older members of our community.We all know someone who has used the services and are using the services and to let this go without even a whimper is a disgrace. They provide advice, enable independence and combat loneliness.

The trans community have suffered a lot over generations, and one of the issues is the price and accessibility of binders. Binders are usually sourced online at a high price rate because of the shipping and manufacturing, as well as most of them being made in America. This makes it significantly difficult for working class or unemployed trans men to find a cheaper alternative for their wellbeing. Binders are sold on Amazon and Ebay at lower prices, however in my experience, they are not very reliable and well made. I believe that as a gender non-conforming individual who uses binders myself, we should not have to pay for something that helps us feel more comfortable and helps with d***horia. Waiting lists for surgery for the trans community is very long and can take up to a certain amount of years. Surely, there should be a free service that helps until the surgery is finalised. Some trans people choose not to have surgery and that is completely their choice, but they should have access to good quality, free binders on the NHS that they can use everyday and feel themselves. If they can fund sexual health, then they can fund mental health. I believe that giving this opportunity to the trans and non-binary community will promote intersectionality, benefit mental health, and may even save lives.

Darlington Memorial Hospital have started looking into opening up a milk bank - which is great news! This would be the first and only milk bank in the North East of England and it would be a wonderful resource for all the mums who cannot breastfeed but do not wish to use formula milk. The idea of setting it up has not been approved yet as it requires time. However, whilst the hospital carry out any necessary assessments, it's important that they hear from all kinds of people in the area who support this idea. I've recently had my 6 month old daughter: as I wasn't making enough milk for her and obtaining donor milk wasn't an option, I had no choice but to use formula milk. I'm not on my own though. Many other mums, especially those with premature babies, also wish they could access donor milk. Donating milk is safe as it involves procedures such as donor screening, a series of tests, pasteurising the milk, etc.

People in the area are suffering and are unable to receive treatment or obtain medication for even minor illnesses. They are now having to visit hospitals and walk-in centres putting mass strain on these facilities. If this issue remains unattended than it is possible that lives will be put at risk and may even result in death's!

Trafford Council have stated that from the 5th June 2017 residents will be charged extra if they want their garden waste collecting. This is a highly objectionable move by the council, which is completely unjustified, undemocratic and particularly unfair on the frail and disabled, as they would struggle to transport rubbish to their local tip. Residents are already funding waste collection via council tax, so where does it stop - extra charges for rubbish collection, education, environment, sewage, policing, fire service, housing, transport and health? Sign and stop it now!

To avoid losing further footfall in the town, promote longer time spent in town to visit additional local businesses and attractions. To attract further employment in the town and prevent clogging residential areas.

Medway council want to cut support for children in Medway to pay for an elaborate 10 day celebration and re-enactment of a 350 year-old naval battle - the Battle of Medway. £60,000 will be taken from children’s services to pay for the celebrations - which include jet ski demonstrations, fireworks and over-the-top battle reenactments. This money should be ring fenced for children's services. As a Medway council tax payer I know where I want the money to be spent - on children!
