The council, for some bizarre reason is seeking to fine the homeless. Not only will the homeless have no money, they will also have no fixed abode! Far rather the Council needs to open a new hostel for the homeless. They could fund it with the 10.5 million pounds they gave to Northampton Football club Directors - they need to get this back!

People need public toilets, the closing of them would be bad for public health, city centre trade, tourism and public events

This is important because the majority of the people who are going to spend the most time in the building are the pupils and therefore their opinions and thoughts should be taken into account.

Disabled people cannot use footpaths obstructed by vehicles. It also puts the elderly, children, and babies in prams in danger, by forcing them onto the road.

Small, independent businesses will drop. They give London a character. This is imprudent and obstructing business growth.

People within the community will feel safer and the crime rate may decrease, bringing higher levels of community cohesion into the area.

To stop the Council from ruining our area where we live as the developer British Land proposes to do. This 38 Degree petition may add new signatures to the 300 signatures we have already put together petitioning the Council to look again, we need to put together 500 signatures by December 1st 2016

The fundamental mistake made by planners, at all levels, is that they assume that residential accommodation is automatically, a house. There is so much empty office space in all towns, large and small, which, if handed over to be used for residential use, would provide so much housing, usually without too much work required. Some towns are doing this, but it needs to be a national scheme. This, more often than not, is in town centres and if empty buildings could be converted for housing, thousands of people would become residents of towns that often need reviving. The residents would not need to commute by car to work, would use shops in the towns and contribute to the towns` economies as well as the Local Authorities through Council Tax.

To feel safe when walking through the alley. It's so dark you can't even see where your going - this is for most nights. Recent news of people dressing up as clowns to hurt and/or frighten people is an added worry in such a dark alleyway. Personally, I don't feel safe walking down that alleyway, but my neighbours and I live there and that is the only access route to our homes. Which ever end of the alleyway you use, it is still pitch black for the majority of it.

This application conflicts with the Local Plan. The development of 10 and 7 storey blocks with 328 residential units and a 64 room hotel is too dense for this area. 1. The development is too high - it is out of keeping with the area which comprises quiet residential streets of mainly semi and detached homes. It will impact on the views for many in neighbouring streets 2. There will be a huge increase in the traffic on the Cockosters Road (A111) which is already over capacity and unable to cope with the existing traffic both from the North and South as it is the main link to the M25 motorway. 3. Increase in pollution 4. Noise nuisance 5. Strain on existing community facilities, in particular doctors and dentists 6. Strain on local schools which are all already oversubscribed even before the Bolingbrook development fully opens.

Aberdeen City Council is trying to make us go through a costly and time consuming planning application to keep a small building that provides our only electricity supply, with no guarantee the application would be accepted. For eight years we fought several utility companies over their refusal to send accurate bills and attempts to trick us into paying money we didn’t owe. Eventually we were left with only one option to avoid being cheated - go off-grid. We decided on solar PV as this is the most reliable and cost effective means of generating off-grid electricity. But we didn’t have a South facing roof, so we built a small wooden building to house the solar panels. We spent several weeks building it with our own hands. Now the council want us to go through a lengthy and costly planning application just to keep this building. I live with my disabled mother. Living without power would deny her vital medical treatment (which she already has to pay for herself) as this has to be stored in a refrigerator. Her treatment has already been affected by having to build the building and off-grid system over the summer, and having to go through a lengthy bureaucratic process would undoubtedly affect it further. I earn a low income with a self employed electrical business that provides our only income. I could not do this without a power supply to charge my tools and run a laptop for my paperwork. I’ve also released a computer program that I hope to develop into a business. This would of course also be impossible without a power supply. I’m busy trying to earn a living for us and will struggle if I have to spend time dealing with a planning application. Living without power would be a nightmare in today’s world - hand washing clothes, no lights, no fridge, etc. We are socially isolated and depend on the internet as our only connection to the rest of humanity. Without a power supply this too would be lost. We don’t know who, if anyone made a complaint about our building, but we don’t believe it’s causing anyone a nuisance. It doesn’t block the light to, or view from, anyone’s windows. It replaced an old garden shed, on the same site, that was rotting away. In very adverse circumstances we are doing something positive for the planet - solar PV is zero emissions and totally sustainable. Don’t let Aberdeen City Council take that away. Please sign the petition. If you live outside the UK you can sign by emailing your name, any message you wish to be included with your signature, and stating that you are signing the petition "Aberdeen City Council - Don’t make us fight to keep our only power supply", to [email protected] . Thanks.

Drakes Island is a lost land of history that most Plymouthian's have never been able to visit. This island has been referred to as 'The jewel in Plymouth's crown', yet it can only be looked at from a distance, never touched. This has been going on for far too long. Military fortifications dating back to the 16th Century and running up to WW2 provide reason enough for historians to show interest in this unique island. However, the natural beauty of the island and it's surroundings, coupled with the already existing historic military structures offer opportunities for heritage economy like no other city in Britain! It is unacceptable that such a beautiful asset of Plymouth's heritage has been left to rot for over 15 years while the people of Plymouth can only look, but not touch.
