We would like you to reconsider the decision made in closing the school entrance gate based on Handsworth Wood Road and re-instate the caretaker at the start and end of the school day as in previous years. The walking time to school has significantly increased with the closure of the Handsworth Wood Road entrance gate - a 10 minute walk has now become a 30 minute journey. This has also resulted in increased congestion during peak hours on an already busy Church Lane as well as contributing to an increase in carbon footprint as even more parents drop and pick students to and from school. Furthermore, since the school has a responsibility towards safeguarding its students - does this not include their journey to and from school? Especially at a time when parents are hugely concerned about grooming gangs and their often discreet operations targeting students near Girls' schools in Birmingham. We do understand that the government has cut school budgets and currently balancing the school budget is an extremely challenging if not impossible task. But, as parents the safety of our daughters is paramount and we need assurance that the school journey is as accessible as possible. We hope that this petition will help you to review your decision and allow your students to feel safer by providing an easier route to school as well as focus their energy on their schoolwork rather than their lengthy journey times.

Coventry Council are making the families of disabled children pay £600 a year for transport to and from school. This service used to be free, but now families are being forced to fork out. The wellbeing and education of disabled children is being put at risk. Disabled children should not be punished for going to school.

It is important as the two towns are currently isolated and business is falling and both areas could do with a financial boost and a rail connection to the big cities would help

The NHS is under a constant growing strain, with all members from all areas of the MDT feeling the push and are having to work twice as hard to meet with the ever-growing need, and let's face it these people's are saving lives...., missing out on there quality family time so they can keep your family's happy by giving you the gift of more time with your loved ones, these people are constantly training to update there skills spending hours of studying to help improve new way of helping us in the future. Yet some of these people are payed less then someone that could be found stacking shelves at your local supermarket. I believe all NHS workers should receive a minimum of £15ph.

Because I am disgusted how they can just change our collection days at a drop of a hat . This needs to go back to weekly now. My bin as well as many other I know especially family's are overflowing each week and at times so long between collections that I have had maggots that I have had to sort myself. If you are in the same boat as myself then please sign my petition so that this can be sorted asap. Thankyou

Figures in 2011 showed that here in the UK £1.8bn is lost in economic output, since then grants have been cut, refuges have been closed and Domestic Violence has increased. People suffer in silence because they are so ashamed of their situations, those lucky enough to have a job are often too scared to disclose because they fear losing something that is possibly the only constant thing in their lives.

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 Kingsway Golf Course has been successful for many years in getting new people interested in the sport of golf, many people who cannot afford the cost of joining one of the local golf clubs have been able to enjoy the game due to the availability of the course at Kingsway. Currently the course is being allowed to deteriorate, the is a huge shame as I have seen many young people coming to play the course during the school holidays only to find it unplayable due to the councils decision not to maintain it. I played my first round of golf on this course, encouraged by one of my friends to have a go without any of the pressure of teeing off in front of experienced golfers at a club and I know many local people who have taken up the sport using this course. Please help me keep this opportunity open to our young and not so young people in the area

If you cannot pass the tests in your third attempt, like me, then this holds you back from becoming an outstanding teacher. 2 years is a lot of time and it holds students back from wanting to teach because if you cannot pass after 2 years then you have to wait for another 2 years. I would like unlimited chances to pass Literacy and numeracy skills test to be put back to action because the government is loosing so many highly skilled student teachers as they are unable to pass their qts tests. I am sure most PGCE students would agree with this.

You've got to be kidding!

This is important because the noticeable increase in fly tipping is hazardous and reflects poorly on the area.

Because the population of South Tyneside are struggling to get medical attention with shift of facilities from south shields to sunderland. The town of south shields becomes unsafe and unaccessible to live in. The elderly and chronic patients will have to shift from their beautiful town of south shields and move to sunderland to have an easy access to facilities, the town of south shields will become an unsafe place to live in specially in an emergency, the shut down of STFT will create more of unemployment, the nursing homes in south shields will have to slowly close down due to reduction of residents because who would prefer to live in a town with no access to health facilities. This is what happens to south tyneside if the departments of STFT are close down, eventually shutting down the only acute care facility in this town forever.
