My nan has lived on the 12th floor of a Shepherd's Bush Tower block for 40 years. She is 77, if a fire broke out in the flats on her floor or higher she couldn't be reached. She walks with a walker and wouldn't make it down the stairs. Who would save her ??? In light of the Grenfell Fire it's now More important than ever. The firefighters did an Amazing Job but they didn't have the resources to reach the top. This isn't their fault it's due to cuts, those victims had to wait for a crane from Surrey!

To remember the people who have died in this tragedy and to prevent profits being made from it.

It's a damning indictment of our society that people are afraid to accept help because of draconian, ideological restrictions on social housing. People MUST be treated with dignity.

iTS IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE ESTATE THAT IS EXCLUDED FROM THE PARK ENTRANCE HAS NOTHING BUT FAMILIES LIVING ON IT. I MYSELF PLAYED IN THAT PARK SO DID MY SON. MY GRANDAUGHTER ALSO PLAYS IN IT BUT I HAVE TO TAKE HER IN HER PUSHCAHIR DUE TO THE MAIN ROAD BEING TOO DANGEROUS FOR HER. THE PARK SHOULD BE FOR THE WHOLE COMMUNITY AND ACCESS COULD EASILY BE MADE TO THE HERBERTS PARK ROAD SIDE AGAIN.

Currently same sex marriage is not allowed in Northern Ireland. This is because, despite laws being passed in the UK that grant same-sex marriages, the Northern Irish assembly (because of the now infamous DUP) has blocked any such proposal there. This means that LGBT UK citizens are being treated as 2nd class citizens in a part of the UK, we need to address this quickly and with certainty, as this is intolerable. It will also have further reaching consequences as a change in law in Northern Ireland will strengthen our position when campaigning with other countries when they deny their citizens equal LGBT rights.

The demographic has changed drastically over the last few years with lots of families and young couples moving into the area from other parts of Bristol (and London). Everyone I speak to; friends, family, neighbours and fellow parents at the school gates agree that this investment is long-overdue. We need a pub that appeals to the many, not the few 😉

It is the only public access sports area in West Bodmin. There is no indication they would replace it. Bodmin is already an air pollution management area. The traffic fumes in the area of the car park will remain at the bottom of the valley and increase the already existing air pollution problem.

The children that attend the Tree Club have complex needs that include communication difficulties, requirement of personal care, sensory and processing difficulties, and challenging behaviour. To support them and to meet the requirements of regulatory bodies such as the Care Inspectorate we provide a high staffing ratio and in depth training. This is a significant cost to the organisation that simply can’t be met by parent fees. Our children have very few opportunities to access mainstream clubs and activities, if any. The Tree Club aims to bridge this gap. We endeavour to meet all our children/young people’s individual care plans. These plans detail the requirements for each young person to meet their full potential in relation to social and well-being targets. The Tree Club monitors and develops these plans, and supports each child’s individual outcomes, through carefully thought-out accessible activities, which focus on peer interaction, enhancing abilities and most important of all – providing fun play. The Tree Club allows parents and carers to access quality and affordable after school care, matching the similar mainstream provision, that is unfortunately inaccessible for our children. We also provide holiday schemes, allowing carers greater choices to be able to either access or support their ability to work, or support respite and/or quality time for our young people’s siblings. We offer this respite which for most of our service users’ families is impossible to source elsewhere. This service provides a break from caring, an opportunity to recharge their batteries and a support network to discuss issues and behaviour techniques and coping strategies and reduces the social isolation they face.

Girls are not allowed the same choices in competition clothing as boys. It's important that access to sport should be open to all; regardless of gender, appearance, or any factor that is not performance related. We believe our children should be able to jump, compete and enjoy the sport they love on an even footing with the boys they train with. Don't you? Our two daughters have been coached in trampolining for seven years. They are now both competing at regional level; and we love the club, their coaches and the community around this joyful sport. However, in talking with parents and carers while we watch our children jump, we have become concerned by a clearly discriminatory rule from British Gymnastics. *The British Gymnastics Rules* At the moment, boys and men can chose to cover their legs for competing in Trampolining, according to British Gymnastics rules. They can wear gym trousers or shorts. Women and girls are only allowed to wear a “skin tight” leotard or unitard. The regulations go on to say - “Long tights may be worn (must be skin tight and be the same colour as the leotard).” What this means is that boys can (and mostly do) wear looser clothing. Girls cannot wear leggings or wear shorts, and this lack of choice has a range of implications that do not impact boys. *Impact on girls* If a female child does not want to expose their legs or lower body to view, they cannot compete. If a child is concerned about sanitary products being visible, secure, and/or leakage during her period, she is very unlikely to compete. Worse still, girls are often told by coaches not to wear underwear during competition; as if any other clothing becomes visible, points are deducted by judges. It is not unusual for children to be told to shave leg and/or pubic hair by judges. Children have been told that they are too fat/thin by coaches and judges. Girls are routinely being judged on their appearance, not by their ability. Children are made more vulnerable to safeguarding concerns - especially where language like ‘skin tight’ has no obvious justification except to make children aware of perceptions that are not age-appropriate. There is no reason for this difference in dress code, especially in reference to the specific condition of clothes being ‘skin tight’. It is not that girls 'should' cover their legs but, if they want to, they should be able to do as their male peers can. There is no performance advantage for girls in dressing as the rules dictate - and no one claims there are. It is purely 'just how it's been'. However, we think it is time for a change. *Why the focus on girls, not women?* Our focus is on children, though we seek to change the rules for the benefit of all those who compete. While adults can make an informed choice about how they present themselves, children are more vulnerable, and organisations like British Gymnastics should be leading the way, not staying stuck in the 1970s. However, as men fill 70% of the Board of British Gymnastics, all but four are white, none are LBGT, and none are from Hindu, Sikh or Muslim faith groups (based on the most recent, 2013, data) perhaps we should not be too surprised; as this profile is likely matched across clubs and regional organisations across the country. These people cannot be expected to speak for the millions of young girls inspired by Bryony Page, our silver medallist at the Rio Olympics. It is parents who must pressure for change, so that the rules of this sport allow excellence to be fostered in boys and girls from all communities. Of course, we are not suggesting that girls cannot wear leotards or that boys and girls should be forced to wear the same thing. Nor are we suggesting that this small rule change will stop sexism, cultural oppression or the sexualisation of childhood. This petition applies to Trampolining - but the principles involved apply to a broader range of sports and activities that children are involved in. Any rules that discriminate should be changed - to protect all our children and allow them to reach for their potential. Thank you for your support

The children should remain the priority of any decision taken and by putting the school in a position where it will have to close, the children are going to be disrupted. It takes many young children a while to settle at preschool and to attempt to move them (if we can even find another preschool to accommodate them) would cause unnecessary upset. The parents of GP preschool children are upset by the recent rating as we strongly disagree and would not be sending our children to the school if we were not happy with it. The teachers are amazing, the communication between parents and teachers is great and most importantly THE CHILDREN ARE HAPPY AND THRIVING!

Since the announcement I have spoken with many concerned parents, carers and others about the proposals. Culture NL engaged in similar exercise last year when they closed many local libraries and staff were redeployed across remaining services thus having an impact on vital public services. Scottish education has made the headlines recently specifically around the Government's aims to improve the education sector and to reduce the attainment gap. It is vital that as our local Government the council work in tandem with these plans to enhance the education experience for those in North Lanarkshire. The aim should be to create more opportunities and support for young people, whom they are meant to serve, in order to allow them to become fully confident, competent and responsible citizens. Education is a cornerstone of any successful society to which teaching assistants play a vital role. Not only do they support teachers and reduce their workloads (something which is currently being reviewed by the Scottish Government) but they also provide additional support for those students who desperately need it. We should go as far as to argue we need more of them, not less! The Conservative party have rightly come under criticism for their proposal to remove the free school lunch policy in England and Wales. NLC’s proposal to close breakfast clubs deserves to be treated in the same regard. We understand there are issues with the budget and finding where to make cuts is challenging, but please do not take from the children and families who depend on these services. We want NLC to support an urgent review of these decisions and do everything they can to reverse them.
