So our community can feel safe in our own town. To reduce local crime, littering, urinating in streets. It's having an effect on our local stores as people are avoiding certain hotspots, it's having an effect on our children who are witnessing swearing, arguing, fighting in broad daylight. I walk to work through town everyday and walk around vomit and urine. This is then costing the taxpayers money.

Speeding motorists are creating a very unsafe environment for the elderly, children and animals.

On Monday 26 June 2017, there was a serious accident on Westferry Road, in Canary Wharf Ward, Isle of Dogs, Tower Hamlets - an elderly woman was hit by a lorry and she is now, tragically, fighting for her life in hospital. As a local ward councillor, I am in contact with the family on regular basis and she remains in a critical condition. The family is grateful for many people who have shown concern and requesting everyone for prayers. I have sent an urgent message to the Council requesting a meeting with the Highways Officer to highlight the concerns on behalf of the residents. Many residents and stakeholders believe that in spite of 20 Mph speed limit – many vehicles go dangerously fast at this community hub with the local school, park, medical centre and shops, pubs etc. The zebra crossing - used by local residents, visitors and children - is not good or secure enough. We just can't afford any more accidents. Thank you, Cllr Maium Miah Canary Wharf ward 07983 798 791 London Borough of Tower Hamlets Town Hall, Mulberry Place 5 Clove Crescent London E14 2BG

Tenant's living in rented housing in the UK shouldn't need to set up protest sites to have their voice heard. This type of site is not effective and serious concerns can be missed, as often the message will never be seen by the intended recipient. Tragedies like Grenfell Tower might have been avoided had the residents had a direct line of communication, that delivered their concerns directly to the desk of the relevant housing team. The majority of housing staff are doing everything they can to make a difference, however, reduced budgets, staffing and available resources are having a significant impact. A system needs to be deployed immediately to provide 360 degree protection. The system needs to free up valuable staff time, whilst providing protection to all sides and a complete record of all communication between connected parties (provider and tenant). Every event and communication (on both sides) throughout the tenancy must be logged, date stamped and digitally signed. This will ensure, in the event of a dispute, or worse, ALL the facts and supporting information is available...signed, dated and in complete chronological order.

The traffic should be doing 30mph on this section of A515 however most cars exceed this which leads the road to be hazardous to young children and the elderly. It is worrying to see that the bollards on the island crossing have been knocked down by vehicles... What if people were stood at the crossing when this happens again? I see an increasing number of children going to school, crossing this road. I think either a lollipop man is required / traffic calming measures or ultimately a Pelican crossing installing. There are crossings in place for other areas of Buxton where children cross regularly, why shouldn't Ashbourne Road be treated the same? Please consider the safety of residents before a bad accident happens.

Sainsbury's have started a trial of its own 'Fairly Traded' label to replace their support of the Fairtrade certification scheme. The Fairtrade Foundation is an internationally renowned and respected certification scheme, which empowers and supports farmers around the globe by ensuring they are paid a minimum price for their produce, as well as a financial bonus which is reinvested in their local communities in the form of education, pensions, and sick pay. Fairtrade ensures that the entire supply chain of companies is independently audited, and their work directly helps those living below the global poverty line. Whilst not perfect, they are the gold standard in ethical trading. Sainsbury's is the latest in a line of companies who are choosing to abandon their support of Fairtrade in favour of their own schemes. Where Sainsbury's differs from some other companies though, is that they had been such a large champion of Fairtrade, that their potential withdrawal from it could start a ripple effect which could lead to the beginning of the end of the scheme. Whilst Sainsbury's' own scheme will guarantee a minimum price for producers, the financial bonus will no longer go straight to the farmers that deserve it, but instead will have to be approved by a Sainsbury's foundation. This directly disempowers farmers who work hard to produce the items we take for granted in our weekly shops, such as tea, coffee, sugar, and bananas. Farmers will no longer be guaranteed this bonus, which can run into thousands of pounds and make a critical difference in poorer parts of the world. Michael Gidney, CEO of the Fairtrade Foundation says that the Sainsbury's scheme does not meet Fairtrade’s core principles, particularly in the area of “producer empowerment”. Many people believe that Sainsbury's are introducing this scheme as a cost-cutting measure to improve their own bottom line. Urge them to rethink their policy and not to abandon their support of Fairtrade.

Sainsburys and Tesco have both just announced plans to drop the Fairtrade label. Farmers and producers the world over will be hugely adversely affected by this move. It will be a step backward for this global world we live in. The supermarkets are planning to launch their own version of Fairtrade. However this will not be externally regulated by a third party and the strong likelihood is that this will be much less advantageous to the producers. This decision is callous, and entirely financially motivated on the supermarkets part. They have given the producers virtually no notice. They have not told customers about this plan because no doubt they know people will be outraged. We have the power to stop this by showing Sainsburys and Tesco that their customers will boycott them if they do this and it will have huge negative consequences for their brands. https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2017/jun/24/fairtrade-crashing-down-sainsburys-tesco-tea-growers-nairobi

So many people drink plant-based milks and other drinks in tetrapaks, and put them in the recycling bin, thinking they will be recycled. However, currently in Plymouth there is no facility to do so, meaning all of these tetrapaks end up in landfill. With Plymouth being the biggest city in the South West, it would be better for the environment to have this facility available.

Developers want to chop down the 200 year old Oak Tree at Burger King, Eastgate, to make way for a new retail park. It is an Oak Tree. Britain's has oh so few left, it should be given a protected status. It contributes to the wellbeing of the environment around a very busy junction at Eastgate. Alternative plans can be prepared and approved to conserve what is after all a very important part of Bristol's natural history. If the tree comes down it'll prove that the councillors of this great city care more about money than the wellbeing of Bristolians. It's a bad bad idea.

Styrofoam is extremely harmful to the environment and us humans. When EPS (expanded polystyrene) is heated it leaches toxins (styrene) into our food and hot beverages. These have been linked to a higher risk of developing lymphoma and leukemia. Apart from the health risks that arise from eating and drinking from styrofoam, this material takes hundreds of years to decompose once its short, single-use life is over. It is deadly to wildlife that ingests it and pollutes their habitats. There are so many amazing materials and products available that can either be composted once their life is over or used time and again, there really is no excuse for using styrofoam. Please consider a nationwide ban of this awful material and incentives for businesses to invest in better, more sustainable options for packaging and food service.

It will encourage people to live within cycling distance of their work. The net effect is less people commuting in cars, less cars on the road, less pollution, more bikes on the road, healthier people. With Apps like Strava and a bike registered to the App. journeys can be recorded and information uploaded. HMRC would be able to see that the journeys are from home to work from uploaded information. We have to create strategies to have less cars on the road and this one.

Air pollution is a major health concern on Glasgow's streets. The council is planning to regenerate Sauchiehall Street to include the continued use of cars. We want Glasgow city council to consider it's citizens and make this a traffic free zone. We believe this aim will also bring a much-needed boost to tourism in the area.
