The north side of St Leonards Road has no pavement but numerous patches of vegetation that are left unattended. This makes the area look somewhat shabby and unattractive. Encouraging wildflower growth here would add some much needed colour, stimulate nature and foster a sense of community pride. I have been in contact with one of the local councillors about this intiative, and received the following response: "We do have a bit of work planned over the winter to identify locations where we could relax mowing regimes to allow longer grass to grow. Once we’ve identified the area then there will need to be discussions with ward cllrs and residents about the plans and the implications (we do need to consider safety, sightlines, crossing points etc). Any preparation would then be done in the spring in advance of the next growing season. It won’t necessarily be that we can sow pictorial meadow grass everywhere as this is actually quite high maintenance, although we have already done that in a couple of locations where residents have shown an interest in getting involved." If you feel as I do that St Leonard's Road has been neglected for too long, by putting your name to this initiative we can encourage the council to take action that will add colour and vibrancy to the area.

a) fossil fuel companies are driving the climate crisis. It is morally unacceptable that public money should be invested in them b) divestment sends a clear message to governments and to the companies themselves that fossil fuels will no longer be allowed to continue polluting our world and destroying the health and environment of all its peoples c) divestment would protect the fund from the well-documented risk of falling share value.

Minks form part of our habitat and they have replaced other predatory species such as Lynxes which have become functionally extinct in the UK. Also with the ever so increasing Global Warming and species shifting across the continents in search for temperatures closer to their Natural Habitat we cannot carry on a senseless genocide of NON Native species. We ought to call upon DEFRA, Natural England and our UK Governments to embrace Compassionate Conservation, abolish obsolete regulation and allow/create areas across the country where minks can find sanctuary and live in harmony with other species...just as successfully achieved in Kent Wild Life Trust, where minks coexist harmoniously with beavers and water voles.

Reducing CO2 emissions from all cars is essential to prevent a climate emergency. SUVs are typically much less fuel efficient than smaller vehicles, thus contributing more to global warming. From 2010 SUVs have been the second-largest contributor to the increase in global CO2 emissions, second only to the power sector. Between 2010 and 2018 electric cars the increasing efficiency of smaller cars and electric vehicles in the UK has saved over two million barrels of oil a day but this has been rendered pointless since SUVs were responsible for over three million barrels a day growth in oil demand from passenger cars! On average, SUVs consume about a quarter more energy than medium-size cars. Despite car makers making a full commitment to lowering CO2, their aggressive and cynical marketing of SUVs has been the main cause of rising emissions. As the centrepiece of transport emissions policy the UK government also committed to an international car CO2 law a decade ago. Allowing the growth of the SUV industry makes the government’s promises to protect the environment look very empty!

Post Office officials propose to close Brampton’s post office located on the High Street opposite the Institute and relocate it as a till-point in the NISA store at the junction of Miller Way and West End. We are extremely concerned that if it was to be moved to the Brampton Nisa on Miller Way, this would be a less convenient location for most people in the village. This proposal by the Post Office officials, if it were to proceed would add hundreds of vehicles to our seriously congested High Street, Miller Way and along West End. We are also very concerned about the likely increase in motor traffic, increase in air pollution, increased parking and road safety concerns if the Post Office was to move from a central village location toward the westerly end of the village.

Plastic tapes are not recyclable and we are killing the planet by using them when sending parcels , painting, wrapping gifts etc. Scotch tape, painters tape ,masking tape and duct tape are not recyclable, they are made of layers of waterproof material. These should be replaced with paper tape. Amazon in the UK is using paper tape for all parcels so should all other companies and citizens use paper tape.

This is a climate crisis. The UK is one of the least wooded areas of Europe, with just 11.7% woodland cover compared to around 37% for the EU.* Under the Conservatives' initiative - Nature for Climate fund - it said it would treble the tree-planting rate to cover 30,000 hectares (approximately 30 million trees) every year by the end of the next Parliament in 2025. Not enough is being done. Some major environmental benefits: - Adapting to climate change and reducing its effects. - Improvement of waterways and decrease in incidences of flooding - Protection and conservation of our UK wildlife diversity, including protection of livestock. Major economic benefits: - Creation of green jobs - trees don’t plant and nurture themselves - Decreased flooding risks mean reduced government spending - Climate change damages economies: investing in the planting and management of trees will remove carbon dioxide and create a healthier, more productive society for all. Plant trees, not tarmac. *House of Lords European Union Committee, Sub-Committees (Environment and Agriculture) ‘Inquiry into the adaptation of agriculture and forestry to climate change: The EU policy response’

UKOG propose to drill through our fresh water drinking supply to get at a maximum 12 days worth of oil for the uk using chemicals to break down the shale and rock. If these chemicals get into the aquifers they will contaminate the entire fresh water supply, rivers, streams and sea around the Isle of wight which is a biosphere surrounded by Marine Conservation Zones, Marine Protected areas and proposed Higher Marine Protected Areas

We need to encourage and support the demand for recycled materials, and thus reduce the use of virgin materials.

The bins are used by non Washington Street residents as one of the only streets in Hanover with communal bins. Fly tipping happens on a daily basis, microwaves, beds, furniture etc and litter is strewn everywhere along the road and streets. Once the bins get full the lids do not close and the seagulls then get in creating more mess. It's unhygienic and the bins are a total eye sore.

Fires started by disposable BBQs have ireversably destroyed moorland and ancient forests, wildlife and habitat. They are a regular cause of property fires. They damage parks and other public spaces annually. Dealing with fires, their long term consequences and the litter they create is a huge cost to charities, local authorities and the taxpayer. Proposed regional bans will be ineffective. This is a major environmental challenge requiring a national ban.
