The main cause of vaginal infection is poor hygiene for homeless woman this is not an option they either eat or buy Tampax or sanitary towels food being the main priority for some otherwise the hunger pains are terrible. But which is less dignified? Stealing tampons and towels or not having one at all? Why should homeless woman have to rip clothes etc to stick between their legs because they have nothing? Something needs to be done and so I'm raising awareness @i have a name project and @the homeless period.

Driving is a skill that most people will need in there life and to be charge almost double the price of the rest of the UK, Northern Ireland is being treated unfairly and it will put off people wanting to learn to drive. Not everyone can afford £62.50 for a first NI Provisional so it would be beneficial to reduce the price so that it is in line with the rest of the UK at just £32 for a first GB Provisional

Philip Dunne is the only candidate that is sitting on the fence about this important issue. We have great concern for the NHS as a whole, and ask that he watches the powerful film Sell Off, made by senior doctors who describe the threats to our NHS. You will find this online.

There is a very important issue that has not been raised in the press, possibly because the media is covering up for the establishment and dont want to to rock the corporate boat that they are all in it together, the rest of us are not of concern. I should point out that I was a Police Officer and have been retired for nearly 10 years. I know that things change, but I have it on very good authority that the system is now broken. There is a fraction of Officers to police an area where there was enough work 10 years ago to keep 50 Officers busy, now there is less than 25, and the area is bigger. The rate of recorded crime is falling, because there are no proactive operations to arrest people who are committing crime, and because the public believe that the Police will do nothing, they are not reporting the crimes that are occurring. Because Officers are rushing the public and making more mistakes, there are more complaints against the Police. That leads to greater stress and more Officers being long term sick, which increases the strain on the people left. The Police are being passed jobs by the ambulance service because a patient has chest pains and they have no resources available, so the Police are not able to do the job as they should . Whilst the wheel is still on at this moment, it is only because of the professionalism of the Police Officers who are doing their best, but it wont last. This Home Secretary has made some big promises to the public, that front line services will not be effected, well that will be tested in the next major incident or public disorder and we will then see this illusion for what it is. The cuts experienced so far will continue for another 5 years if the present government is returned to power, and there will be no going back from that situation. The bankers have had their bonuses and the rich their tax cuts, but I was not aware that it was on the back of the destruction of our public services.

You can only have a medical abortion in Northern Ireland. It is only done at a independent clinic in Belfast, and only up to nine weeks in the pregnancy. Women should have the right to decide what to do with their bodies. Stopping abortion here is forcing women to fly elsewhere to get an abortion or forcing them to have a child they do not want, or in some cases seek out illegal means. A pregnancy does not only affect a woman physically but affects a woman's education, her employment, and her entire family and social life. Preventing women having the right of abortion makes women carry all the adversity and blame for unwanted pregnancies. Motherhood should be a choice.

There is a massive running community in Aberdeen, and also within the surrounding areas with many running clubs based at all around the area. Aberdeen could only benefit from a high profile mass participation running event. This opportunity to have a half marathon in Aberdeen should be seized with both hands and promoted as a positive, healthy choice, life enhancing thing for anyone who wishes to participate, not to mention the massive benefits to 3rd sector charity organisations such an event brings. There are also massive benefits to local tourism, new high profile races can attract runners from far afield, so hotels and local businesses will see a knock on benefit. If other cities can host such an event, why can't Aberdeen?

There has been a free ferry running here for over 100 years and an established ferry service on the route since the 14th century, with mentions of one in the Doomsday Book. London has many traffic congestion problems, but the problems of the Woolwich Ferry are not it's own; it is an effective and much used (2,000,000+ journeys per year) piece of infrastructure in its own right. The problem of the Woolwich Ferry are in reality the problems of the Blackwall Tunnel and it is only when the Blackwall Tunnel fails that the area around the Woolwich Ferry becomes overly congested. To close one thing that works well because something else does not is evidence of poor strategic thinking. Even if a new bridge or tunnel are built as proposed by TFL, congestion is only going to increase year-on-year in East London. this means that the Woolwich ferry does not stop being relevant or strategically important, both as a crossing in it's own right or as an additional means of easing congestion when a single car or lorry (inevitibly and regularly) breaks down in the existing tunnel (or on a new bridge) and brings this part of the capital to gridlock. If East london actually needs additional crossing capacity, why dispense with this vital piece of existing infrastructure? There is a historic precident for the Woolwich Ferry and currently TFL has an obligation to provide this service. This obligation should remain for the benefit of both vehicular and pedestrian transport, the latter of which would be severely disrupted by the provision of vehicle only crossing points. Furthermore the obligation to continue the service is important because a FREE ferry service is the only egaliarian means of river transport in East London- it's dissapearance would mean that all traffic on the river would become a privatised, fee paying entity. In an area which has so much maritime heritage, this you be a tragic development and a loss to future generations.

this is important because a good road surface will keep the residents of Burton safer will cause less damage to our cars vans & motorbikes. Also to stop any injuries to cyclists who have to use the roads too. We deserve better roads and we will campaign to get it done!

In the past three years the following 10 former council services have been outsourced to another provider: 1. Your Choice Barnet 2. Housing Options 3. NSL (parking) 4. Capita CSG: Finance, HR, Payroll, Estates, Property Services, Pensions, Revenue & Benefits, 5. Capita Re: Building Control, Environmental Health, Planning, Trading Standards & Licencing 6. Legal Services 7. Registrars & Nationality Services 8. CCTV 9. Music Trust 10. Mortuary Services The Council is about to begin Competitive Dialogue procurement for Education & Skills and School Meals services with the following contractors • Capita Business Services Ltd • EC Harris LLP • Mott MacDonald Ltd, trading as Cambridge Education Looking at Capita’s track record to date http://www.capita.co.uk/who-we-are/our-history.aspx in bidding and winning contracts it is highly likely they will win this contract making it the third big contract they have won with Barnet Council. Outsourcing is no quick fix or easy win. Here in Barnet we were only 16 months into the Capita contracts when it was announced on Barnet Council website that Capita had received £110 million http://barnet.moderngov.co.uk/documents/s21029/Appendix I - Capita Payments.pdf Outsourcing is being promoted not just in Barnet but across the whole of the public sector as the answer to shrinking budgets. This dogma is being promoted contrary to the rapidly growing evidence from We Own It web site that it leads to: 1. Your Services get worse 2. Your costs go up 3. You can’t hold private companies accountable. 4. Staff terms & conditions are undermined which impacts on quality of services. 5. It is risky and difficult to reverse. Supporters of outsourcing often claim that the public isn’t bothered about who runs services. Again contrary to the evidence which found: • Only 21% of the public trust outsourcing companies - the lowest level of trust compared to other organisations like the NHS (79%), the police (65%) and the armed forces (79%) • 64% distrust outsourcing companies • 69% of the public think Atos, Capita, G4S, Serco are motivated by maximising profit - while 38% think this should be important • 22% of the public think Atos, Capita, G4S and Serco are motivated by providing the best service to the public - while 80% think this should be important • Only 28% of people think it is appropriate for private companies to run prisons, and only 25% think it is appropriate for them to provide court services • 65% of the public would not feel comfortable using GP services provided by a private company like Atos, Capita, G4S or Serco • Only 16% think there is adequate regulation of private companies running public services, compared to 59% who think more regulation is needed http://weownit.org.uk/privatisation-doesn%E2%80%99t-work/whats-problem-outsourcing-companies Barnet Council is now promoting itself as a Commissioning Council. The clue is in the title and for our members it simply means they will be working for someone else not the Council. Commissioning is being driven by consultants and their friends in the public sector, who secure contracts for them to outsource services. They have no interest in service delivery which inevitably leads to greater inequality both in the workforce & the community we serve.

As business leaders have been widely reported warning of possible Labour damage to the economy, why has the BBC made no mention of this important intervention by top professionals warning of possible Tory damage to the NHS. Not reporting this letter is political bias, and allows a huge section of the population to be misinformed about an issue that is of huge national importance.

Broxtowe is undergoing great change with centrally-imposed infrastructure projects radically altering the area. The impact of this centrally-imposed, swingeing cut on the local council budget will destroy all hope of mitigating against such changes. Front-line services will be under threat, with the impact being felt by all residents; with the most vulnerable being hit hardest.

Evictions are at a record high. Council house building is being destroyed and sold off with waiting lists growing. Housing has become insecure, often unsafe and unaffordable Companies are exploiting workers in homeless organisations and Housing Associations, organisations which are often seeing surpluses, yet cuts to pay and important services are being cut. Companies who have blacklisted workers in trade unions are being contracted for public contracts, we say NO. All of this and sadly, too much more, are reasons for our manifesto demands at this key time: 1. Stop the cuts - Austerity for the 99% ! 2. Build and repair over 300,000 Council houses per year, incorporating improved accessibility and environmental standards. 3. Stop the transfer of council stock to housing associations. Stop the social cleansing 4. End the right to buy - We lost over 44,000 homes in 2013-2014 5. Bring in Rent Controls and establish a national register of private landlords to protect tenants 6. End unfair benefit caps and other benefit cuts such as the Bedroom tax and cuts in council tax benefit. Restore and increase the Independent living fund. 7. Protect Supported Housing - Stop the cuts and ring fence services which are vital for some of the most in need of specialist support 8. Decent Pay and conditions for workers in housing and social care 9. Bring in an £10ph National Minimum wage 10. End the Blacklist - restrict commissioning of social housing and maintenance services to providers who have signed up to the Joint Industry Board National Agreement for Engineering Construction. Act to remove approved providers found guilty of blacklisting. 11. Nationalise the Banks - Taking over the banks on a permanent basis would enable investment to be planned in line with democratically decided priorities including housing that working people can afford. We must put a stop to the disaster of austerity and build secure homes for the 99% The full manifesto can be found here - http://www.housingworkers.org.uk/readnews.html?con_id=172 Please cut and paste the full manifesto or add the link and ask your MP's and councillors to pledge their support. https://www.writetothem.com/ And if your looking to find out candidates for local or general elections please use - https://yournextmp.com
