• Stop selling 'Disposable' POWER HIT chargers.
    The Power HIT one-time-use 'disposable' phone charger, a new product owned by the 'Solent Group'. are now being sold around the UK. At £3 a piece, these chargers have a great appeal and seem to be a useful product. However they could have a potentially devastating impact on the environment. Marketed as 'Disposable', these chargers contain electronics, including a rechargable lithium ION battery, which are harmful to the environment and should not be sent to landfill. Such use of these batteries is wasteful. They contain resources of which there is a finite amount, and recycling of these batteries could cut down on carbon emissions. Ontop of that, they contain plastics and other materials which are not bio-degradable. This means it could take thousands of years for these materials to break down. This is harmful to wildlife and our ecology. Please sign my petition to stop this product, and others like it, from being sold around the UK.

  • Ban Plastic Takeaway Containers
    Plastic pollution is a major global problem which impacts our environment and ultimately our food chain. Plastic is now found at all levels of the marine ecosystem right from plankton and the fish we eat all the way up to those devastating images of whales, turtles and seabirds with stomachs clogged up with plastic. It is not enough that we sit back and do nothing and expect someone else to deal with the problem. Every individual has a responsibility to minimise their plastic waste by recycling, using reusable containers and drinks bottles, refusing single use plastic bags and also by picking up rubbish they see on beaches. However, at some point we need a stance to be taken by our local Councils and Governments to impose bans on wasteful practices. Research has shown that encouragement and education is not always enough - this needs to be enforced by legislation. Alternative technologies are out there - compostable containers are available which are up to the job. Hobart has just become the first city in Australia to recently vote to impose this ban on their takeaway businesses and it is time that the UK stepped up and led the way with this initiative. Cornwall is world renowned for its beauty and heritage together with its stunning beaches and there have been huge efforts made to improve our beach quality over the years. It is no surprise that national charity Surfers Against Sewage and the beach cleaning movement #2MinuteBeachClean both started in Cornwall. We lead the way with educating people about the dangers of ocean plastic - now let our Council step up and make a real difference to the oceans of plastic which is clogging up our environment.

  • Stop Waste Incinerator being built in our community
    All the surrounding communities are against this development. There are lots of health risks involved for the people living within a 10km radius of this plant. The plant will be storing waste at the property which is dangerous as it heats up. If this were to catch fire at ground level many people would be forced to ingest the harmful toxins produced. Transport of the Waste to the plant causes another issue, with huge lorries coming and going from the property throughout the day. The company will be self regulated which means they would be responsible for reporting their own breaches to the authorities. In other plants owned by the same company there has been over 1000 breaches recorded. There are lots of reasons why we feel this is not the area for this type of plant and would urge people to support us by Signing the petition. Save our future generations by saying no to incineration.

  • making Surrey cleaner
    if streets are cleaner it encourages a healthier atmosphere that promotes an idea of community. In addition we think pollution is a massive issue in towns and cleaning up this issue would mean people are more aware of this global issue.

  • Put in Speed Bumps along down Albany Road
    Unfortunately at present Albany Road is a very dangerous place to be walking on the public footpath.It's is equally very difficult to judge when to cross the road. There is a high degree of speeding motorists down Albany Road. Disappointingly the police don't appear over enthusiastically interested. Not so long back i received an unwelcome attempt of being made to look humiliated & embarrassed. It was promoted to others that I was not correctly illustrating the truth. Fortunately they say a camera never lies & I have that to hopefully dispel any possible uncertainty anybody may have. Unfortunately as consequence of these frequently speeding motorists down Albany Road I've unreasonably endured months of sleep deprivation & my pre-existing medical conditions have been exacerbated & adversely effected.

  • Resident parking at Portway/from bridge to Westbury road
    It is important to us all to be able to park to off load heavy goods, even groceries. Personally I have broken my Pelvis, yesterday I drove to get milk, I returned home straight away but a Barney lodge employee had parked outside of my front door ! I had to park under the bridge, I sat in my car and wept how am I going to walk that far unaided and by myself . Also as the houses here are around 200 year old listed buildings we are all updating and maintaining them. There are many stories of inconvenience, not being able to get a builders van parked in the street is often very stressful ! my story, I had to walk to Barney lodge to ask two members of staff to move their vehicles, I was having a wood burner installed and they needed access to the chimney, achieved by using a cherry picker, no chance of parking it, The owner's did move but were surley at being called out of work. Most of us are repairing and caring for these old buildings, they are a part of our History, part of our National heritage. Please help us to live here more comfortably, all we need and ask for is Resident parking as we continue care for these charming old cottages. Thank you for taking the time to read our issues, they are effecting our daily lives in a negative way.
