This is important for multiple reasons, I own around 62 species of cockroaches that as a lot of you know, range in size, shape, colour and character. Bron afon want me to get rid of them all but I want to suggest that I get rid of 9 species that could pose issues. I keep, photograph, study and educate others on these amazing animals, it's my hobby and hopefully a future business, I don't drink, smoke or take drugs, I barely socialise because of my mental issues......so they think getting rid of it all is a good idea. I originally made one mistake, a few P.australasea escaped and got into a neighboring house, Bron afon have done nothing to help, we need a lot of repairs and work done on our house in general because of their neglect, we have compromised and complied all the way through but they haven't even at least kept us up to date and are even threatening to throw us out, make your own minds up on this but please sign to show I'm not just some weird shut in, idiot that they assume I am.

This is important because even in the 21st century some seem to see affordable housing as a privilege rather than a right. Their have been attempts by a minority of local residents to paint potential tenants as, and I quote "young, single unemployed drug users" which is not only an awful statement to make but grossly untrue. The aim of this petition is to show that the vocal minority are just that - a minority. Affordable housing should be a right, everyone no matter the status should have a roof over their heads and this development address a very critical need in Ulverston - their simply isn't enough social housing.

The issue of homelessness has escalated locally, with an estimated 61, people sleeping rough locally as of October 2016 (roughly 20% of the total estimated rough sleepers in Wales). As a result of the inadequate services available some people have set up an encampment in the grounds of the former Groves school, a listed building. This building is close to residential housing and the camp is of concern to local people who fear that hygiene and safety practices are compromised. The individuals living on the site and elsewhere in Wrexham are in desperate need of a long term solution. In the short term there needs to be regular emptying of the skip and portaloo that the council have provided and access to the site in the event of an emergency. There are many groups and individuals in the area taking an interest in this issue and it is only fair that they are all able to hear the council's response to these issues in the interest of openess and transparency as should be expected from our elected representatives.

We have a rat infestation in molineaux court as the bin store is integrated.from speaking to various diffrent pest controls the have said that the problem won't go away while the bins are in there as it's a constant food supply,also the leaky pipe in the underground car park is providing them with water so it's a rats paradise

Because Oxford deserves affordable housing.

College Bank estate, known as The Seven Sisters, consists of seven iconic tower blocks, visible landmarks for miles around, which were built in the 1960s to an exceptionally high standard in order to successfully attract outside professionals into the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale, as well as for local residents. Both flats and studio apartments are spacious and of a higher standard than any other social housing in the Borough. Over the years they have had additional improvements to lifts, windows, kitchens and bathrooms. They have no external cladding and meet fire safety regulations. A large number of current occupants have lived in them for twenty years or more, some have been living there for almost 50years. Many are also leaseholders, having bought their properties. RBH say they wish to replace with low rise of equal quality, but residents know that no alternatives will match the quality of what they have now. There is no social housing of this quality within the Borough and it is unlikely that anything new will be built to such high a standard. Residents have not been properly consulted and feel these proposals are being imposed upon them by RBH. Pensioners were in tears when the proposals were revealed on the estate, as they all expected to live out their days in these totally accessible properties, which are close to the Town Centre and three supermarkets. Saiqa Naz, a Mental Health Practitioner (with an interest in equality and diversity) says “My concern with the proposed demolitions is that moving elderly and vulnerable people, including people with mental health problems, will isolate them and have a detrimental impact on their mental health and overall wellbeing. I have been supporting distressed elderly people living in The Seven Sisters as they are worried about losing their homes and are not sleeping well. Being close to the town centre, local amenities and services is important for these people’s health and wellbeing. The elderly people can currently walk into town and have some level of independence. They will lose this independence if they have to move further away from town. Also, the flats are an ideal location for services to do their outreach work for those with mental health or other problems. Pushing people into the wider community will make it difficult for services to access and support people who need help the most.” Saiqa’s comments are confirmed by quotations from residents: “I have lived here 35 years. It is a perfect location for town shops, doctors, dentist, hospital. A good community of people live here.” “I love it here, it’s flat, there are no steps so it’s handy for older people. We feel safer, with cameras and security.” “I’m dreading the prospect of moving. I love my flat, it’s beautiful. I’ve got it as I want it. I don’t want all the upheaval.” “I have heart failure and need to be near my GP and the town centre. It would be stressful for me to move.” “It’s worrying, on your mind all the time. Nobody wants to go and live where they don’t want to.” “There is nothing more stressful than being told your home is going to be destroyed. It’s a burden that’s with you every minute of the day.” And from the younger generation, “I like it round here. I grew up round here. I want my kids to grow up round here.” “We love our home! It’s our first home together.” Other members of the outside community cannot believe that their destruction is planned, as they consider them to be iconic features of the town, along with our grade one listed Town Hall. “They’re iconic. When you see The Seven Sisters you know your home.” “This would be the end of an era, they’re a landmark, you see them straight off the motorway. College Bank has been called The Seven Sisters for years.” “The Seven Sisters are synonymous with Rochdale. How are they going to accommodate all the people?” In fact the proposals would lose c520 units and they are intending to put 120 new units on the same footprint. That would mean a net loss on that land of c400 units at a time of housing shortage. Please sign our petition to oppose this act of institutional vandalism.

On the 6th April 2017 a petition with over 5000 signatures was presented to Brighton and Hove Council. Over 3000 signatures were signed on the streets of Brighton and 2200 online. The petition was against the implementation of PSPO’s. PSPO’s give Council workers and the Police the power to give Homeless people and Travellers an on the spot £100 fine for occupying a tent, vehicle or caravan in 12 locations across the city. Failure to pay the fine can lead to prosecution and a further £1000 fine. People breaching the order must provide a name address and date of birth. Failure to positively identify someone can lead to arrest. So effectively you can be fined, arrested and prosecuted for being homeless and having no money to pay for the ‘crime’ of being homeless. Brighton and Hove council voted for the petition to be noted but not to be forwarded to the Policy and Resources committee for further debate. Usually any petition with over 1250 signatures is debated at committee. Despite opposition to this legislation from Liberty, Equality and Human Rights Commission, local charities, specialist lawyers and the local community, Councillors blocked due democratic process by voting against the legislation being debated by the Committee that decided to implement it. It appears that Brighton and Hove Council want to sweep away homeless people and Travellers from our city through criminalisation and attempting to block any debate or opposition to the legislation. This will not work, it cannot work and we are standing against it. PSPO’s should only be used to target specific behaviours and not specific groups. This statement has been echoed by Sussex Police as well as human rights lawyers. This legislation is a direct assault on the homeless community and Gypsies and Travellers. PSPO’s have been misused in this context as living in a tent, caravan or vehicle are not anti-social activities in themselves. Article 8, of the Human rights act the right to a private and family life, is being infringed by this use of PSPO’s. Under the European convention on Human Rights, all public bodies owe a duty to facilitate the Gypsy way of life. This legislation is an attack on the Gypsy way of life and therefore in breach of Equality Duty and The European Framework Convention for the protection of Minorities. This policy is unlawful and need to be brought back to committee to be looked at again as it stands Brighton and Hove Council have blocked any further debate.

In the UK landlords have the ability to exploit tenants to the fullest extent without the tenant being able to do anything if they have to move out. 12 months is a long time and a lot can change in that period (e.g. loss of job, having to relocate, moving to look after sick relatives, breaking up or no longer able to afford rent for whatever reason.) without protection for tenants like this in place, landlords could continue to take rent right up until the end of the period if they are unwilling to negotiate terms, even if the tenant had a unforseen change of circumstance only a month into their contract.

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.
