It will help the economy as people are more settled when they are a little older and more willing to take full advantage of the chance they have been given.

Because employer's are a business abusing worker's. And people on zero hour contracts cannot get mortgages and are penalised in other sectors of the economy. Making this bad for the British economy and the Country.

The Kings Arms has been on its current site in the centre of Kingsbridge since 1775 and has offered hospitality to locals and visitors since that time. It is currently closed and is in a dilapidated state - spoiling our main street which otherwise enjoys virtually fully occupancy with independent traders and giving a terrible impression to visitors new to the town. We want to open a dialogue with the owners to see about reinvigorating the building and to let it, once again, be the heart of our community.

Chancellor George Osborne is committed to cutting a further 100,000 Civil Service jobs by 2020 and shrinking the entire Government Estate by 75% before 2023. Government services that the public rely on are being decimated as a result of job cuts. Examples from the Passport Office, HMCTS, Land Registry, HMRC, DWP and elsewhere show that cuts in the Civil Service are having a negative impact on service users. Communities are being cut-off from local services. The Civil Service is near to breaking point, the digital technology replacing local services untested and unstable making the planned cuts unsustainable. In Stoke-on-Trent the HMRC have announced that Blackburn House tax office will close by or before 2020 with the loss of between 250-300 jobs to the local economy. Locally DWP has lost around a third of its workforce in the area since 2010 to the detriment of service delivery and the welfare of its remaining workforce. The impact of the loss of this significant number of jobs to the local economy and labour market cannot be underestimated. There is no clear evidence that growth in private sector jobs within the area will replace these jobs. We call on the Government to halt the cuts to Civil Service jobs in Stoke-on-Trent and North Staffordshire and invest in Central Government services within the region.

For Fairness and equality which clearly doesn't exist anymore for the under 25's. The fact that people over the age of 21 have all the responsibilities of an adult but not the wages is an absolute disgrace and grossly unfair and an total insult to the hard working people between the ages of 21 and 25 who really should be entitled to this rise. The message from George Osborne seems perfectly clear - people between the ages of 21-25 are adults, should be expected to work as hard as an adult and shoulder all the other responsibilities of an adult but just not earn the same amount of money as one.

By using the NI relief element to reduce the new State Pension from those that had the foresight to save is morally wrong & could be legally wrong when workers were given this there was not an option saying this will reduce your basic pension, employees who have been paying in to schemes via wages & had this relief have had a pension forecast every year & added the Basic State Pension in to their calculations, now we are told that we will lose some as its part of the Pension we have saved for ( encouraged by the Government) ie actual case history: a woman of 60 who is on an average wage has been on the D code NI relief for 18 years has been informed she will lose £36.50 per week that's £1898 even though she has a 43 year NI payment history. She has been informed that her private Pension will be £10,000 pa plus BSP for the last few years but now will be nearly £2000 down on this figure because of the change as no option to stop the relief or notice of this change has been given before now this is totally unfair. Workers in this position on between £15000 - £30000 will be the most effected by this. I believe the reasoning behind this is that private pension savers have their pension to top up their income, but for those who do not have big Pensions like MP's of 40k - 100k this amount matters a lot to their long term retirement plans. As receivers of a private pension they will not be able to claim any top up benefits & could well be worse off than someone who has never saved for a pension or worked at all. This is not fair or right

Margate has The Turner Centre and Dreamland to attract visitors. We have our beautiful Royal Harbour, Tunnels and wonderful cafe culture but we need more reasons for families to visit. Thanet as a whole would benefit from the added tourism as we would be able to offer a better package, more reasons to visit. The wheel would not incur huge capital investment, ongoing leasing fees would be paid for out of revenue, therefore no risk to the council.

Because the government is telling us we are all in it together.Prove it by Using the same method as public workforce pay is set by.

I will sadly loose the chance to make a difference as well as my livelihood. Within 6 months I will create my business with the need to employ people from the local community. With in 1 year I will be able to help my community sustainability in teams of job creation and long term employment prospects. These are just a few things I do: I am a local children's charity supporter and make regular financial contributions. I am a member of the Dudley Health Group. I am a weekly contributor to the local Dudley food bank. I also work alongside the youth of all nations to assist in there future growth and development. I am a chief church usher and I am an active church member of 13 years for the Dudley New Testament Church. I work closely with the Afro-carribean centre. Sending me back to Jamaica means l loose my formed friendships and community family, l will have nothing and I will be homeless. The deadline for the immigration tribunal to receive this is the 30th March 2016. Help me to continue to make a positive change and contribution to the UK future growth and to the future adults of tomorrow. Please sign this petition. And thanks for all the support. Dwayne Millwood.

£3.30 per hour is not a wage that can be lived on, in fact a person earning this amount of money cannot afford to rent in most places and would even struggle to afford transport to get to where they are doing their apprenticeship. A person working the same 40 hours, as most apprenticeships stipulate, could earn up to four times as much as those who are in apprenticeships, for the same amount of work. It is preposterous that a person on an apprenticeship working 40 hours a week should earn only £120.00 on average.

Jeremy Hunt has made no secret of his opposition to the NHS as founded on the principles of the 1942 Beveridge report. His intransigence in the face of the current negotiations has to be read in this context. The NHS has the support of the whole country; it is now time for us to act in unison to support the junior doctors as part of a wider commitment to the principle of a free at the point of service, publicly funded and owned NHS. We call for the TUC to weigh into the current pay and conditions dispute by calling a general strike against the imposition of the proposed contract on junior doctors. The contract is a mark of the hostility that the current Health Secretary has for the NHS as it is currently instituted. It does not serve any ends but those of a government fundamentally committed to the run down and decline of the NHS. We must unite in its defense and send a clear message that the country will not tolerate the piecemeal destruction of the NHS.

Ethical treatment of employees outside of the UK is quite rightly championed, with many consumers opting to purchase fair trade alternatives that command a higher premium. Yet in the UK, poor treatment of staff continuously falls outside of the consumer spotlight. Prominent displays of working conditions, as appraised by staff, would likely inform shopping habits and ensure employers take appropriate steps to provide fairer working conditions. The consequences of doing this should not be underestimated:- • It is likely to reduce stress related illness that is largely responsible for circa £6.5bn per annum. • It is likely to reduce the financial burden incurred by the NHS in terms of treating patients. • Should employers feel obliged to increase wages, it seems entirely plausible that the financial support given by the government could reduce. • Lastly, unemployment may similarly reduce if potential employees see that their working conditions are guaranteed to meet at least a ‘good’ standard. Consequently I implore you to consider the health and financial well-being of UK workers and the UK itself by encouraging a good employer ethos.
