Because the Tory government is happy to inflict so-called austerity on the poor people of this country, it's time they shared the burden. Those that lead from the front should do so by example, not by considering themselves to be exempt from the rules that apply to everybody else. For example the last Chief Executive of Essex County Council was on a £250k salary package.

Are you aware that the public toilets in the new Beeston transport Interchange are temporarily closed, and that Broxtowe Borough Council is reviewing the provision of public toilets in Eastwood, Stapleford, Kimberley, Broadgate and Beeston? One possible outcome of this review is that there may be no public toilets across the Borough as a means of saving money. Local residents, shoppers, travellers and visitors to the Borough, need access to appropriate public toilets in the right location and should not have to rely on private provision. The tram is bringing more people into the Borough and they need access to public toilets.

Despite only being a live site for a matter of months, the new website has already attracted almost universal criticism from users – as not only having less information on it than previously but also being difficult to navigate. All those involved in the management and administration of charities require a simple and effective service, and we believe that the best solution is to reinstate, and then to maintain and update, the old Charity Commission website. We hope that you will back this campaign and would be delighted if you could complete this short e-petition. Please also share the petition via social media in order to achieve maximum support. We intend to present the petition to the Charity Commission and the Government Digital Service. This campaign has been started by the legal firm "Withers". Committed to the not-for-profit sector, Withers takes an active role in the process of legal reform and developments in the charity sector and we are privileged to have one of the largest portfolios of charity clients in the UK (acting for 60% of the Top 50 UK charities by income according to Caritas Data).

The BBC is meant to be an independent organisation run by trustees. It's unacceptable that the government can just walk in and confiscate several millions of licence payers money to fund an aspect of its social policy.

The definition of sheltered housing is that there should be a warden at the facility

Calderdale Council pays private companies to carry out many public services that the Council or the NHS used to provide. So: - public money is being used for private profits instead of the public good - some contracts go to companies with dubious ethical standards -democracy suffers - commercial confidentiality means the public can’t know if Councillors are making good decisions

So many Wiltshire residents will be left without any form of transport if these savage cuts go unchallenged. https://s.bsd.net/38degrees/main/page/-/CBY/councillor.gif

The BBC is one of Britain's crown jewels, and number one export in terms of influence around the world. Along with millions in this country, I grew up with the BBC, as did my children. I want it to be free from interference for my grandchildren, too.

Private policing is not accountable to the public. G4S have a very dubious past and at no point has there been any consultation with the public of Hertfordshire to outsource police powers.

G4S is a private company and is known to charge a lot for bad service, low wages, and unreliable staff, probably because of low wages. There is no substitute for a State-owned police force.

Giving private companies more "public" power diminishes the ability of those public servants with the training and focus to use the power with the job. So, trined Police use Police powers: not untrained private G4S use police powers.

Because public safety and police matters should be fronted by the police, not an agency that has proven history of making big mistakes! How do you feel knowing this could be coming to your community soon? Scary isn't it.
