The closure of this provision will have a detrimental effect on the health and wellbeing of parents in the area. It is the only creche facility for excercise in Clevedon. For many parents this is the only time they are able to exercise as they have no-one else to look after their children. Exercise for parents is especially important to help combat depression, regain fitness and lose excess weight after pregnancy and for some it is the only time they get to themselves in the day and it’s a good time to build up a social group. Added to this the creche workers who have cared for children for years at strode will be made redundant.

Breastfeeding rates in the UK are some of the worst in the world. The media has an ENORMOUS impact on this and could make significant changes to families and health.

A lease agreement for our 4 acre woodland (named Ladybird woods by our toddler children) is vital for Ignite Unlocking Potential as a social enterprise to support schools, community & families with educational services including Wales's only Nature Kindergarten, Ladybirds Parent & Toddler group, Adventure camps and activity days for children with physical disabilities & additional learning needs. During the 4 years as a business tenant paying against a draft agreement of 21 years, we have transformed 4 acres of unused land into a centre for excellence in Nature based Pedagogy. To date, this learning & play space has enabled us to make a real difference to the lives of over 8000 children and provides leading edge education and training services to education & health professionals across Wales and the UK. Please read some of our reviews from parents & teachers that we have recently supported. Your signature will provide our children with the hope that we can continue to enrich their lives and provide a place that nurtures and unlocks their potential.

Do you want to save Tarporley's precious, affordable retirement flats, Oathills Lea? Where will our elderly population go, if this complex is closed or sold off by Weaver Vale Housing Trust? Oathills Lea is currently under review and its residents are worried sick, as you can imagine. Built in 1970, Oathills Lea has 23 retirement flats for residents aged 50 and over. It is the perfect location, especially for the less mobile residents and those who no longer drive. The bus stop is just 100 yards; the Co-op 250 yards; post office 250 yards; village centre 100 yards; doctors 0.5 mile(s). All of this helping our older villagers maintain their independence. Oathills Lea is the only accommodation of it's sort in the village. Not only is it made up of individual flats, but there is a communal area where the residents congregate in the afternoons to socialise with each other. Many of it's former and current residents have always lived in Tarporley and others have sold their homes and moved here to be closer to their families. None of us want to be evicted from our homes and it is putting the more vulnerable villagers under immense pressure and stress. What will Oathills Lea be replaced with ? Weaver Vale Housing Trust, recently you were promoting the flats as a "Home for Life". Why have you gone back on your word ? Why aren't you filling the empty flats, when given the ageing and increasing population of Tarporley and the surrounding villages there is probably a demand for them ? If anything more retirement flats are likely to be needed over the years. PLEASE sign our petition and share it with your friends and family

There is lack of children's early learning services in Kearsley. This Childrens Centre has been revamped and is in a perfect location for many people from farnworth , kearsley , Clifton & so on. As a disabled parent this Centre is a perfect location, not only that having that comfort from going to the centre for a while & then changing to another location and closing this one down makes it much more awkward.KEARSLEY also needs a nursery school. At present it's at Lord Street and as stated previously parents cannot be at two locations at the same time. Lord Street and St Stephens/Spindle Point. The other Kearsley nursery is Kearsley West, but they don't accept early ages. So my question? Why does Kearsley not have a council nursery for pre school children? Also if the council are to revamp the centre in Farnworth why? Why can't people travel to Kearsley to a purposed built centre which had already been revamped? Why waste even more money on a building when you already have a perfectly revamped and neutral positioned Childrens Centre to then close it? Birch Road Centre was to be built and opened for a short time and then closed. Let’s Keep Kearsley Childrens Centre Open, Sign This Petition & Make A Difference.

Special Guardianship holders are often forced to give up their jobs or reduce hours to care for their children due to the children's behavioural difficulties caused by the trauma of their early lives. Currently special guardianship allowance is set by guidelines instead of legislation. This means many families live in poverty as local authorities often pay nothing. Government legislation would ensure special guardianship families are financially supported equally instead of the unfair system we have now, in which many families are given little or nothing. Of those families that are lucky enough to receive something, this is often stopped after a period of two years leaving them in financial difficulties. Special guardianship allowance should be paid until the child reaches adulthood. The cost of keeping a child in care may be as much as £70,000 annually, so surely it is better to support special guardians with a realistic financial package to ensure special guardianship does not break down due to financial stress, thus saving millions in the long run.

We need to make this a safe place for us, our children and everyone else who wishes to use the park to an advantage and not have to avoid the area because of the above reasons.

The stink and odours are damaging quality of life for residents in Little Burton Farm, and Kennington The constant and cumulative odour exposure has become "severe odour annoyance"- a major concern of the WHO (World Health Organization) Headaches and other health risks are a common occurence Children can't play outside in their own gardens Doors and windows need to be permanently closed Utilizing gardens for BBQ's and other social events is severley affected With 1000's more homes planned in the area and increased sewerage, things can only get worse

The Forward Centre was purpose built 35 years ago as a base for adults with physical disabilities to meet others who faced similar problems and encourage each other to try things they had never thought of doing Many of the activities require specially trained staff to assist people with a wide range of disabilities often caused by accidental injuries or long term illness The Social Work Services are having to make cuts of £100,000 to their annual budget and the only way open to them is buildings or staff. If the staffing levels are reduced the service to the members will suffer so they have decided to demolish a perfectly sound building

For two years, Longholme Farm has been one of the fastest growing and most successful campsites in the area. Steve Crossland, the owner, is a genuine, hard working man who has built the site from the ground up. He has strived to make Longholme a place of fun and happiness with relaxed rules and a welcoming atmosphere and wants nothing more than to see people happy. He and his wife, Gail, have worked hard through many trying times, losing their son to a tragic car accident being their biggest test, yet they have soldiered on, still faced with a constant barrage of unfounded complaints and now their future is being threatened. Longholme has become an important and favourite place for so many families, including many local ones who need a break from time to time. Steve and Gail have created a safe environment for children to play and parents to relax and the site also attracts a lot of families with children with special needs because of it's safe, back to basics nature. Along with this, the site has brought an incredible amount of business to the town and local businesses, working closely with local pubs and restaurants and bringing business to the shops and supermarkets. Doesn't every town benefit from this sort of tourism?! Isn't it the council's responsibility to encourage and protect tourism in their district?! Although the campsite is their livelihood, Steve and Gail are not in this for money. They have given away many free stays to lucky competition winners, again bringing tourism to the town, and have helped many people who have had difficult times by offering free stays so they are able to provide holidays for their children. All Steve and Gail want is to see people happy and for Longholme Farm to continue to provide this haven for SO MANY people! Below are a few (of MANY) comments the site has received and can be found on their facebook page: Tina Cartledge: "I've heard nothing but good reviews about your campsite and I'm looking forward to going next week with a friend." Beverley Lee: "We including free camping for more than one family who struggle to get away with their chad a blast thanks to your dad and his hospitality and send you all the luck in the world going forward. We look forward to coming back some time in the future xx" Seamus Monahan: "I must say we bloody love the site and steve the man is a giant amongst giants never have i had such a friendly welcome and a big smile looking forward to seeing you all later this month on the field of dreams" Scott Vickers: "your dads site is close to us but the way it feels is like been in a far away land you forget your own worries the feild of dreams is very fitting keep fighting there is more support for steve than negativity dont let it get the better of this wonderful place" Janet Nicholson: "im a local girl that loves coming to longholme even tho its ten mins away it makes me feel a thousand miles away and gives me and my family an escape to relax and have fun. long live longholme" James Anderson: "From a Retford caravan and camper hope your hard work pays off best of luck" More can be seen at facebook.com/longholmefarm If you have a Longholme story to share, please send a message to the facebook page.

Since closure in February 2016, the former Whitekirk Golf Course has become a haven for wildlife and a wonderful, well used amenity space for local communities. This unique and beautiful landscape is recognised in the East Lothian Local Development Plan 2018 as a Special Landscape Area, and provides valuable open space for people and wildlife in an area dominated by intensive farming and increasing development. Wilkie Developments plans to destroy this fantastic landscape by turning it into a holiday camp. With over 200 proposed holiday lodges crammed on to the former fairways, the beautiful landscape and its wildlife will be lost to development forever. The area is enjoyed by a wide variety of flora and fauna including species such as skylarks, badgers, bats, owls, buzzards and swans, as well as a variety of wildflowers, trees and mosses. The Local Development Plan states that development should only be permitted in Special Landscape Areas where "the public benefits of the development clearly outweigh any adverse impact and the development is designed, sited and landscaped to minimise such adverse impacts." The economic benefits of the development will no doubt be argued as a reason to override this protection, however it is clear that self-catering holiday lodges will generate only a very few low-skilled, low-paid jobs, and with poor public transport local people will surely struggle to sustain employment. Over two hundred holiday lodges will generate hundreds of car trips per day to and from North Berwick. With only one bus every two hours from the site into North Berwick, all those cars will be clogging up the roads and competing for the already over-full car parks in the town. The development will require significant infrastructure in order to support the 200 plus lodges, introducing light pollution, sewage treatment and a network of utilities. Once all this costly infrastructure is in place what’s to stop Wilkie Developments, housebuilders by trade, seeking to turn this into yet another housing development. Please help to protect this rare and special landscape by signing the petition to prevent development and secure its future as a valuable wildlife habitat and amenity for the local communities. As a protected wildlife reserve, this wonderful space should be enjoyed by local people and also presents a fantastic opportunity to create an educational facility for local schools.

This is extremely important as children and adults continue to suffer across the UK without help from Hospitals. Children with life threating seizures are battling to stay alive. Instead of Medicinal Cannabis, they are on heavy sedative medications which are killing them and offer no quality of life to the child and quite often simply do not work. People are suffering from chronic pain in conditions such as Terminal Cancer and get little to no relief from traditional pharmaceutical drugs which sedate them and often have extremely bad side effects. People with Multiple Sclerosis find no comfort from traditional pharmaceutical medications and have found Medicinal Cannabis to change their quality of life. And many many other illnesses can be helped by the use of this medication!
