Because it allows transport to and from rural areas into the city center for those who perhaps have no other means of transport. This is an important issue due to the fact that many school children who lived slightly out of catchment areas used this bus service to travel to and from school; now these children are forced to be up earlier to walk to a place where they can catch one of the school provided bus services. People of an older generation who are unable to drive were able to use the old 47 service to travel to other villages or into the city, whereas now they have no other way of doing so without in some cases needing to pay taxi fares or relying on friends or relatives who drive. In particular I find it rather disgusting that the Nottingham City Transport did not advertise the cuts to the 47 services enough - because my daughter who at the time was just 15 years old, got on the 47 bus from Lambley to go to a friends in Calverton was told to get off of the bus in Woodborough because this was where the route terminated now. My daughter was left stranded and was forced to get a taxi instead. Overall this is an important matter because the points previously made.

Already the stroke services, and now the urology department from Diana Princess of Wales Hospital is being moved to Scunthorpe General Hospital. But for those of us that rely on our local hospital it's much too far to travel. Many of us who don't drive are left out on a limb, and find it really hard to travel to other Hospitals. It is very important because if nobody says anything, we could see this hospital closing altogether.

My husband who has been housebound for over 2 years is an involuntary benzo prescription addict in withdrawal and as research has shown would benefit from talking to others like him in this city. Other cities have this support but Birmingham hasn`t and the Cross City CCG has the power to helpbut only helps illicit drug users not prescription addicts like Phil. There are an estimated 250,000 prescription benzo addicts in England and The Cross City CCG has the 4th largest population in England so there must be many benzo prescription addicts like my husband and sharing their strategies to deal with the neuropathic symptoms will help.Phil has had no contact with anyone in this city ;he has to phone charities in Bristol, Oldham and Bradford . Birmingham is described by them as a disgrace .Help is urgently neededand the CROSS City CCG can easily identify others like Phil. This was done in Oldham in 2004.Please help to get our CCG to act.

With two primary schools, a community centre with pool and now a local park due to be built by the road the safety of our children and residents is paramount individuals are consistently speeding and using the road as a cut through.

Families across the borough have been sent letters over the last few years demanding that they remove small items, such as toys and small wind-chimes, from grave plots. This is owing to their being apparently "inappropriate" and a "nuisance". We urge the council to review these regulations and allow these harmless and peaceful mementos to remain on individuals' graves, giving families a sombre and personal place to remember their loved ones.

As the Promenade is the Jewel in the crown of Aberystwyth, it is the most popular attraction for our youngest people, and it has been allowed to stay closed over summer to save some money, shamefull

The streets of Bournemouth are filthy and the smell of decomposing waste fills the air. It is fast becoming not only embarrassing but also a health and safety risk.

It's a great place for wakefield people to visit so why should we have to pay for it? The parking here used to be free but now we have to pay. The carpark isn't tarmac its just dirt just like it was years ago when it was free. So who do we have to pay now for the exact same thing.

Since the bin collection has been reduced to 'save money', the area has quickly become unhygienic, smelly and full of flies and vermin. It's reducing residents' quality of life and making the place undesirable to both visitors and regular inhabitants. Southampton City Council state that 'there will continue to be an efficient waste and recycling collection that meets the needs of residents' - having spoken to several members of the public, this is not the case. It is not meeting our needs as citizens who pay council tax for the upkeep and maintenance of our local area and frankly, it's making the city an unpleasant place to live and work in. While we appreciate funding cuts are being made from centralised Government, we would argue that this is not a 'non-essential service' as Southampton City Council's website claims. Surely the upkeep of the city is in fact a very important service, on so many levels - for our general health, wellbeing and happiness, and for keeping heavily populated areas cleaner and healthier. The council also claim that reducing these services will encourage more recycling, but as the recycling is not being collected any more regularly than before these changes, it is hard to see how this is having any kind of positive impact. Please sign this petition to help us campaign for a cleaner, healthier city that we can be proud to live in.

So that blind people can feel comfortable when travelling on public transport and it allows them to have equal opportunites as other people.There have been many times where blind people are disoriented and need to stop fearing getting onto the wrong bus when travelling on public transport. These changes will allow them to know what bus has arrived at the stop. Thank you.

Libraries are places of learning and sources of information. They provide a valuable community resource. In these times of "austerity" they provide for families who otherwise couldnt afford the resources to teach their children, and for those on low incomes trying to better themselves. These are the reasons why the Victorians established public libraries and the benefit of all they should be kept Open, free and public. "Google Can Bring You Back 100,000 Answers.

Bodlondeb provides a beloved home and essential care services for our elderly and vulnerable residents in Penparcau, Aberystwyth and it also serves the North Ceredigion area. The council's planned closure of Bodlondeb will force the current and future residents into the insecurity of private care home provision which may be many many miles away from their beloved community, family and friends. The closure of Bodlondeb would also mean the loss of 33 good and secure local jobs. The campaign to save Bodlondeb is receiving massive public support but the council seem determined to move forward with their plans. If Ceredigion Council do manage to close Bodlondeb they have said that they plan to close four more council care homes in Ceredigion in this wave of closures so please can EVERYONE in Ceredigion sign this petition to ensure that we keep Bodlondeb and our other public sector care home provision in Ceredigion open. The Save Bodlondeb Campaign is a community, union and cross-party campaign. We the undersigned oppose the closure of Bodlondeb without an appropriate replacement facility. We call on Ceredgion county council to ensure that there is continuing and unbroken provision of public residential care for the elderly in the Aberystwyth area as Bodlondeb has provided for over 50 years. Rydym ni, yr isod, yn gwrthwynebu cau Bodlondeb heb gyfleuster amgen priodol. Rydym yn galw are Gynor Sir Ceredigion i sicrhau bod darpariaeth di-ddor o ofal breswyl cyhoeddus ar gyfer yr henoed yn barhau yn ardal Aberystwyth fel mae Bodlondeb wedi ei darparu ers dros 50 mlynedd.
