• Bring back baby weigh and health worker to Cranbrook Cornerstone Baby and Toddler group
    Cranbrook is a vastly growing town with a huge population of children under 5. In fact we are in the top 5% of the country and to take away a service that has been offered for nearly 5 years at this thriving group is a huge blow. Our group is inclusive and caters to children of all ages up to preschool and so is much more suibale for parents who have children of various preschool age. This group supports families old and new and helps people forge friendships in what can sometime be an isolating time in new parents lives, especially if they are new to the area. Baby weigh and health services were a big lifeline to new parents as they could meet other new mums and dads and often their children will grow up with the group and stay with us until they start preschool. Now we have lost this vital service, we have lost a lot of babies coming to group which in turn may mean we will not have the toddler's coming along when the babies grow up. We are aware there is a Tuesday session available but by all accounts this day is not suitable for all and by taking away the Thursday session it will put more pressure on the Tuesday group with waiting times and maybe not being able to seek the advice needed from the health worker in attendance as so many people will want the same.

  • Traffic calming measures on A647 Pudsey
    Since the reconfiguration of the A647 Leeds/Bradford Road there has been an increase in reports of very dangerous driving. Drivers regularly speed up and down the length of the road from Bradford to Leeds and back again, turning at the roundabout at Dawson's Corner. Drivers also regularly jump the pedestrian lights outside the Woodhall post office and there has been several near misses involving local residents including children and babies in prams. The police have been informed on some occasions when we have been able to get car registration numbers, however traffic calming measures are desperately needed before someone gets killed or severely injured.

  • No Parking Zone & Zebra crossing outside All Souls School Cheriton
    We love our children and we want them to be safe but when people park outside the school on double yellow lines this is dangerous and selfish. Also drivers park obstructing the crossing further putting children's lives in danger. A child has already been injured how long before there is a fatality! We need Kent County Council Highways/Shepway District Council to ensure that a no parking zone and zebra crossing is put on the road outside the school and enforced by traffic wardens and the police.

  • WANTED: Excellent, accessible loos at Abbey Meadow!
    There are no toilets at any park in Oxfordshire that have facilities suitable for disabled children. Other counties have them! • The replacement of toilets in Abbey Meadow is a fantastic opportunity for including toilets suitable for disabled children! • In terms of their utility for the community using Abbey Meadow, the new toilets will actually be worse than what is there now… there will be only four individual cubicles compared with the seven toilets there now. • Spending money on inadequate and unsuitable facilities is fiscally irresponsible. • Not spending money on toilets for disabled children is morally indefensible. Here is a full list of the issues with the new toilet designs 1. No facilities at all for disabled children and adults who cannot self-transfer. • At last! There is an inclusive playground in Abingdon. This has been extremely popular with families with disabled children from across the Vale this summer and with Kingfisher special needs school, but visits are time limited by a lack of toilet facilities. Why build an inclusive playground without inclusive toilets? 2. ‘Accessible’ toilets are not actually accessible. • They are very small and based on the minimum standards for a standard ‘hospital-type’ wheelchair. They do not consider electric chairs or the larger, specialised chairs used by most disabled children. They do not consider mobility scooters. There is no room for any kind of carer assistance. 3. Too few toilets. • We are going from 6 toilets in traditional stalls plus disabled loo to 4 individual cubicles. 7 to 4 is a massive downgrade. 4. Child safeguarding and safety Two of the toilet doors are on the unobserved Mill Stream side and will be further obscured by decorative screens. What is to stop and adult forcing their way into an individual cubicle after a child and locking the door? No-one can hear or see what is going on in there. 5. Health issues • What if someone becomes ill in an individual cubicle, or has a fall? • How will anyone ever know? They could be in there all day. 6. False alarms • The two ‘accessible’ toilets will need emergency pulls. • Oh what fun it will be for children pulling on those irresistible red handles! 7. Nightmare logistics of taking multiple children (and yourself) to the toilet • With the individual cubicles, the logistics of taking multiple children becomes a mathematical logic puzzle. Which child shall I leave outside on their own? 8. Children getting locked in… this happens surprisingly regularly. • How do you extract a child from an individual cubicle which does not have a lock you can open from the outside? 9. Nefarious activities • A nice private unisex cubicle… unobserved, quiet and discreet… what could people possibly get up to in there?

  • Lower high school dinner prices! To ensure our children are eating and drinking properly!
    They say our children deserve a great education but if they are hungry and thirsty during school hours because their dinner money doesnt stretch far, how on earth do they expect our children to focus and concentrate?? They run schemes for primary schools so why ate high schools any different and why should people be discriminated for their income or employment status? Every child matters.

  • Save the Hope & Anchor
    This pub has been trading since 1892 and so it has huge historical reference in Pontefract and is shadowed by Pontefract Castle. The pub is loved throughout the community and is beginning to become a hive of music activity drawing bands from far and wide as well as catering for our talented local musicians. It is the home of Pontefract Scooter Club, who regularly host events to raise money for local charities such as The Prince of Wales Hospice and The Yorkshire Air Ambulance. The Hope & Anchor is an integral part of the community and we should be saving these historical institutions not turning them into offices etc

  • Introduce a law so that parental rights are reduced if there is a proven background of abuse.
    It means that the perpetrator does not have as much control over the family, as even though they may have got a divorce, it's still a way to hold power over them.

  • Stop the Burmester Road mobile mast
    Have you noticed the new metal cabinets at the end of Burmester Road? They are part of Vodafone's plan to build a 15 metre mobile phone mast on the corner with Garratt Lane. You may have heard about this before. The original plan for the Burmester Mast was opposed by numerous local residents and rejected by Wandsworth Council in December 2016. Vodafone have always been well aware of this. Thanks to a legal loophole, Vodafone consider they can build the Burmester Mast anyway, within metres of Burmester House, despite the objections of local residents. Indeed, they sent the diggers in at the end of August to start work by building the cabinets. Mobile phone companies such as Vodafone should listen to local residents. There are acres of industrial use land on the far side of Garratt Lane where the mast could be situated, which would still give us better 4G coverage. Wandsworth Council are trying to find alternative sites, but Vodafone consider that legally they could still build the Burmester Mast. If we unite, we can stop this. If you want your voice to be heard, please sign this petition calling on Vodafone to relocate the Burmester Mast. It will only take 30 seconds.....

  • Save our Disabled Children's Transport
    Coventry Council are making the families of disabled children pay £600 a year for transport to and from school. This service used to be free, but now families are being forced to fork out. The wellbeing and education of disabled children is being put at risk. Disabled children should not be punished for going to school.

  • Stop the inhumane deportation of Dale A McIntier
    Sandra McIntier is severly disabled and requires round the clock physical and mental care. If her husband was deported it would have devastating affects on her. Dale McIntier would suffer extreme mental health issues if he had to leave his wife without the love and stability that she needs. It would hurt our government purse to deport Dale. Tax payers would have to pay for his flight home and also round the clock care for Sandra. It makes no sense to deport a beloved husband who is a wonderful part of the community.
