  • Create 20mph zones and/or speed humps
    The current 30mph limit is broken by a significant number of road users in this area who seem to treat the local roads as a race track. We have witnessed multiple collisions, acts of wreckless and dangerous driving and it's time that something was done before somebody is killed. There is a very high volume of pedestrian traffic in this area, particularly school children and quite frankly it's an outrage that nothing is being done to protect these members of the public and local residents.

  • Stop blood sports on Ilkley moor
    Our land is being abused by blood sport hunters, and in doing so much of our wildlife is being killed to facilitate this such as the trapping of small mammals which in turn are prey for larger mammals and the beautiful Red kite which is strangely largely absent from Ilkley moor!

  • Keep East Bergholt Rural and Protect our Green fields
    Villages across the nation are losing their tranquillity and wildlife is vanishing, such as our barn owls. With more housing in rural areas, this leads to more traffic, more crime, and more vandalism. There are sites that can't be sold and are not being used that can be reconverted to dwellings without tearing up the countryside.

  • Let Londoners live, work and play in Westminster Fire Station!
    We are a community-interest company that wants to enshrine the significance of this 107 year old Grade 2 listed building for the benefit of all Londoners. We have a self funding plan, working with London's top developers, architects, space planners, Locality and Article 25. By utilising Section 106 and Local Infrastructure Grant as well as considerable private and social investment we will develop the fire station into a flagship Westminster Women's Resilience Centre, offering: * a community owned and run café * affordable rent flats for key workers * a vibrant art centre showcasing the talent of Westminster's diverse constituency * a state of the art business and conference centre * a People's Town Hall * affordable housing for key workers living in the Tri borough area, * services for all women, including a crèche and childcare centre, * a refuge for women who have survived domestic violence, an accredited training centre for women who want to enter the construction industry * subsidised space for charities and social enterprises run by women * a Fire Station Museum celebrating the history of the building, operated by former firemen, teaching Westminster's young people fire health and safety * luxury flats, for sale only to Londoners, who pay UK taxes and work in London *retail space, a pop up shop and cultural events reflecting the cool capital and enterprise owned and run by Londoners. The community spaces such as the café and People's Town Hall will be open to men, who are an essential part of building a safe, inclusive and vibrant community. This is a space for co-opting the brilliance of London, its citizens' natural talents and building the best and brightest future for women and men alike. Our Purpose: We believe in women as change-makers in their homes and communities regardless of background, culture, class, race or faith. If a woman believes in her inherent qualities and approaches these from a glass half full perspective, she increases the capacity for her natural resilience. She learns to equip herself with the skills and strength to move forward positively in life, she will move mountains. With the support and mentoring of women who have already proved their success, they can mirror successful habits, seed and grow aspirations. We know from personal and professional experiences how challenging life can be. We know how a bad decision can end up in catastrophe. We know how hard it can be to make changes when the system and circumstances seem stacked against you. As resilient women, we believe in creating a safe space where positive change can happen for women struggling to create it for themselves across all levels of society and cultures. By joining our aspirations for better lives and extending those out into the locality, the Westminster Women’s Resilience Centre is a community owned and operated driver for sustainable change, on an individual and a community level. The Westminster Women’s Resilience Centre will be a space for all women as ex-offenders, teenage girls exiting gangs, victims of domestic violence, single-parent families, living in poverty or excluded. It’s also a space for the most successful women in business and society. Together they will meet, learn, inspire and be inspired by each other in a safe environment that taps into their shared aspirations and experiences. This is a unique space, perhaps the first in the world, where women co create the community and develop the programs and the projects they wish to thrive. Mentoring, sharing and enterprise are our core values. In times of severe austerity, communities, local authorities, social and charitable enterprises and private sector businesses all in the process of recovery, having been traumatised by the failure of the banking system in 2008. We have to build a resilient, sustainable future, with community at its heart, to align with a new commissioning landscape and also with what people want, in their local services. As local authorities face economic retrenchment and austerity it has become more vital to build resilient communities where the local authority works in partnerships with local communities and other agencies to build social capital where local people can build from their own strength and assets. Westminster Women's Resilience Centre will offer social care, housing, probation, medical and counselling services a safe space to meet their service user community. The co location of services, for women to access on a formal or a drop in basis has been proven to show better outcomes. This pioneering building will showcase how we can build social capital, the importance of collaborative working and will explore some of the tools for community building in a digital age.

  • Hadrians Wall & Positioning of a Sub-Station
    Honesty and transparency is very important when working for the people and community. Hadrian's Wall World Heritage is important to the people, when an archaeological dig is performed it should be performed in the right place. A planning application was submitted to build on the footprint of the old sub-station, yet the council allowed Northern Powergrid to build near bedrooms without planning permission, planning permission was not granted until after the event. Powerwatch tells you sub-stations can affect your health. Hadrian's Wall World Heritage is important to the community & the Rest of the World.

    If this Local Plan goes ahead as it is now, there will be a huge strain put on public services (e.g. school placements, doctor's surgeries, community centres), significant increases in air pollution, increased traffic and big losses of wildlife.

  • Hands Off The Brighton Royal Pavilion
    This is taken from an article in the Pensioner, which is a local Brighton and Hove magazine, specifically for older people, and was written by local activist Fancis Tonks. From time to time someone comes up with the idea to tear down the Royal Pavilion and build a hospital or build houses, yet the Pavilion, quirky and whimsical, made Brighton what it is today, originally a farmhouse the new Pavilion was designed by John Nash for the Prince Regent 200 years ago. Almost as if the Taj Mahal had been picked up and plonked down by the seaside, the Royal Pavilion is Indian outside and Chinese inside, it is a part of our history. The dining room has a massive dome complete with dragons and was lit with gas for banquets. The music room housed concerts as the Prince Regent had his own band of 70 musicians and on one occasion, welcomed Rossini. In the great War of 1914 to 1918 the pavilion was a hospital that housed Indian soldiers injured in the conflict that is all part of our heritage. It was bought by the city fathers from Queen Victoria for £50,000 in the middle of the 19th century and this makes it the only Royal Palace owned by the people through the local authority. I believe the Royal Pavilion estate as we know it is under threat. A Heritage Lottery Funding bid has gone in and the outcome is not known yet. There are some proposals that are disturbing, the cafe that has being run by the Sewell family for 70 years will be replaced by a " visitor welcome building in the cafe facility that can be operated indoors and outdoors", cutting through the jargon this means the outdoor cafe, loved by residents and visitors, would go. The main entry would be from New Road there and are also worrying references to pay events taking place on the lawns; it is essential we maintain the lawns as with the rest of the glorious gardens. There have been consultations, for what they are worth, now let the people decide, old and young. We must preserve this lovely and historic part of Brighton from the developers, Hands off our Royal Pavilion

  • Preserve green spaces in Newcastle upon Tyne
    This public open space has been used by the local community for many years; to play on, to walk dogs on and to sit and enjoy the spectacular view across the valley to Gateshead. Many people living close by do not have the luxury of back gardens and rely on this space to generally enjoy a grassy open area. The open space has long been shared with Atkinson Road primary school who use it as a sports field for the children. The school have been 'gifted' the land by the council after recent budget cut backs by the council have stopped the regular maintenance of the land and grass cutting in the summer months. The school has now applied for planning permission to erect a 2.4m fence with locked access gates which will stop local people from enjoying the space and will effectively obscure the view from the top of the hill across the valley. This means the land will only be used during school hours in term time -about 6 months of the year- leaving it unused for the rest of the time and inaccessable to the public all of the time.
