Many elderly patients who live opposite in the care homes will now have further to travel with no easily accessible bus routes. It's current location is close to the center of town and therefore easier to get to a chemist after your visit to the surgery.

Its very important to have a pool that is suitable for all and to have a friendly environment that is taylor made for all abilities, a pool that young children and all ages with or with out a disability can stand or sit down independent with out being held at all times, its important for people to gain confidence by them self, sense of accomplishment, boost their confidence, relaxation for people with a disability is very important and to be able to use a pool that is suitable for them has many great benefits. also at the same time mixing with all kinds of people, with out being segrated,swimming as a recreational activity leaves you with a positive feeling which improves your mental health, individuals with disabilities can get more health benefis by being physically active, even though I believe evey one is unique, people with disabilities are limited in opportunities to be as physically active as people with out. allso I strongly believe its as much as important for young children to be able to stand in the water independently, and walk freely around. it will bring visitors and those who vist here from around to want to use our pool, as the pool we have now is not suitable for all to use in a freely independent way, as the shallowest end is 1meter high therefore no where suitable for some one who is under that height to use the pool independenly , its important for people to enter a pool unaided for confidence building.

Batley ITI Tennis Centre was purpose built for grass roots tennis and as an indoor tennis training centre, and is the only indoor Pay and Play Centre outside of Leeds suitable for players of all levels and abilities. The centre is only in decline because KAL have not appointed a suitable dedicated tennis manager at the centre who would develop grass roots tennis in the locale and surrounding areas and build the centre back to its former popularity with mini-tennis training and tournaments and adult classes and sessions for all. The centre is also the home ground of Batley ITI Tennis Club who have mens, womens and mixed teams playing competitively in the HADTL league and the Wakefield Tennis League, and these members also pay and regularly attend the Pay and Play Sessions. The Club was born out of the first users of the Tennis Centre when it opened as an Indoor Tennis Initiative over 25 years ago and the club members are dedicated pay and play attendees at the Centre on a regular weekly basis. We believe the Centre should remain a dedicated Tennis Centre and by carefully selecting a Tennis Business Development manager in co-operation with the LTA, the Centre can return to a thriving tennis centre of excellence once again. It would also pay for itself that way. The costs involved in attracting the right personnel to run the centre are far less than the costs involved in changing the use of the centre to be a multi-sport non-tennis environment. Let's keep Tennis a grass roots sport in Batley available for every child to be able to experience tennis. Please keep Batley ITI Tennis Centre open for Tennis for all, as that is what it was built for, and let's rebuild the centre attendance up to its potential again by working in close association with the LTA to bring in the right Tennis Development Manager.

Ben Ashworth is a hero and an inspiration. I was so sad to read that he passed away earlier today. Despite being diagnosed with ‘Terminal’ bowel cancer, Ben did not give up but fought it all the way – raising well over a quarter of a million pounds for cancer charities. Not through sympathy but through sheer bloody determination. In his last few years Ben ran over 24 marathons – he ran round the Guild Wheel in Preston twice in one day and for three years he organised ‘Cheeky Santa Dashes’ in Preston – persuading all and sundry to do a lap of the Avenham and Miller Parks wearing special shorts that had plastic backside cheeks protruding from the rear. All this to not only raise a fantastic amount of money, but also to raise awareness of this cruel disease. Read the blog - https://bensbowelmovements.com/

What about working to keep mental health services in Perth rather than centralising all services to Dundee? You can't expect someone with a mental health issue to get better treatment miles away from their loved ones!

Today, following a Freedom of Information request, it was revealed shocking statistics that show that hundreds of addresses in the UK are considered 'dangerous places' for paramedics to go into. It is a sad state of affairs when it is unsafe for men and women, seeking only to help people in need of urgent medical attention, cannot enter a property without police escorts in place to protect them from harm. The homes have been blacklisted by the Ambulance Service because of previous incidents in which paramedics have been physically assaulted, (including being stabbed and beaten), subjected to verbal abuse or been attacked by dangerous dogs. The ambulance service is right to take every precaution to ensure the safety of its crews, but it is depressing that so many incidents are occurring. The tide of attacks on mercy crews is sadly still on the rise nationwide. Let's hope that this shameful tide turns soon and that the paramedics, who do such good work, will no longer be at such risk.

Weston Super Mare General Hospital A & E needs to stay open 24 - 7 as the population in Weston and the surrounding areas are growing all the time! With loads of new houses being built and thousands of tourists that visit weston every year!

This is important to millions of citizens in the United Kingdom as tampons are an essential and necessary item for women of all ages. It is not a 'luxury item' that can only be bought by people with the money to spare for them as tampons have been called on numerous occasions. They are essential to the natural process and function of a woman during puberty and later on in life that helps boost their confidence and prevents them from feeling anxious about needing to go buy tampons. Condoms are handed out for free to people to protect them and keep their healthcare in check, so why aren't tampons handed out for free to boost the health of millions of women?

Patients need to access GP and nurse services. They should not have to buy products from Lidl to allow them to park.

There might already be a petition circulating about this but I haven't seen one - I don't know if it will ever reach Netflix but I feel compelled to do something rather than nothing! *ps sorry I'm not the best with words If you haven't seen me voicing my opinion on twitter yet - I believe the recent trailer released for the film 'To The Bone' starring Lily Collins shows an extremely glamourised & romanticised portrayal of an eating disorder. First of all the fact it's being marketed as a Comedy is extremely worrying. I've seen so many people who've struggled with an ED saying how badly it's affected them. This includes close friends of mine. It's only a minute or two long, has only been out a few days & the impact is already huge. Hundreds have voiced how it has triggered them, made them feel they have to watch it, encouraged thoughts of relapse, and copying the self destructive actions. Some tweets have reduced me to tears. Did Netflix stop to think about these repercussions? Did they involve MH professionals & follow their advice? Because it is SO brutal and damaging to show such extreme ways of losing weight without so much as a trigger warning! It's not a realistic portrayal in many ways e.g. inpatient doesn't equal a nice house in the countryside, or visiting a waterfall to contemplate life. You are in a hospital with other people who are desperately struggling. Fighting for their lives. There is nothing romantic about it. There is no such thing as 'calorie aspergers' and constant jokes aren't made about your disorder. You don't meet the love of your life or have a sudden epiphany which means recovery is inevitable. Recovery is long, intense and debilitating. It takes up all your energy. This film is supposed to raise awareness, but where are the 'ugly' real life consequences of ED's? Yellowing teeth, hair falling out, losing your period, developing numerous other physical health problems etc etc. This film is not even close to reality. It's insulting and I'm devastated for all the lives it's going to affect in a negative way. All the people it's going to badly influence. We should be taking steps forward to reduce the stereotypes & stigma around MH issues, not backwards 🌹 If you feel the same at all I urge you to sign this petition & share it if you can - we may not get anywhere but I sincerely hope it gets taken down to make way for REAL awareness projects. I know there's probably things I've missed out so PLEASE message me if there's anything you'd like me to include! Thank you for taking the time to read x

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.

The maternity unit is an excellent (and essential) local facility - it should be held up as an example of excellent, local, dedicated care to the rest of the NHS, not closed. Please sign the petition to raise awareness of the plight of the maternity unit and hopefully draw it to the attention of the Prime Minister.
