It is an area of natural beauty with a lot to offer. The falls are impressive and evocative. But can not be appreciated fully due to the present difficulties with access. The forest walks have stunning views and great potential which is yet to be realised.

Enactment of such a bill runs counter to the commitment by the current government to the active preservation and enrichment of our diverse historic environment, as it will arguably severely undermine already denuded curatorial provision within the current planning system, on a local and national level. At its worst, the bill will ultimately sacrifice our joint historical and ecological resources in the name of short term profit and speculative economic stimulus, encouraging large scale development without adequately making provision for assessment of the presence of, and likely impact upon, known, as well as currently unknown, archaeological and ecological resources to hand. This can, and almost certainly will, lead to the wholesale destruction of important archaeological and ecological resources, with no regard to the potential benefit they offer to the wider academic and communal knowledge base relating to our shared historic environment, not to mention the long term economic potential such resources may offer to the nation as a whole and local communities alike. On the contrary, in most cases, this will undeniably result in their absolute and irrevocable destruction, to the detriment of all.

The old West Ham ground is set to become 800 luxury flats. We are being told that they will be affordable but "affordable" housing never actually is in anyone's budget but the rich. Upton Park is already hugely overcrowded with services pushed to breaking point. The West Ham site being reinvented is a great chance for the council to build more services for local people and take some pressure off of existing ones. One measly community centre being built on the site is not good enough when 800 more families will be moving in to the site.

To bring some life to a dated and tired High Street

George V Park is the only public park in the New Town area. It is an oasis of greenness, nature and tranquility in the heart of the city. Now RBS is selling its office on Dundas Street/Eyre Place for redevelopment into residential blocks and retail units. On paper this is a good thing. More people should have the chance to live, work and play in our neighbourhood. However in their current form the plans for the site are awful. Some of the proposed blocks are 8 stories tall, dwarfing anything else nearby. They will plunge George V Park and surrounding streets into the shade forever. A proposed access road will run dangerously close to where children play. Trees and green space will be lost. The original plans looked promising. But they've changed. For the worse. George V Park isn't big. It isn't even especially beautiful. But it's a wonderful, unique space where people of all ages can relax, breathe and play. And it's all we've got. Over the years so much work has been done to nurture and protect this place. Don't let it be ruined for a short-term profit. The Dundas Street site will, and should, be developed. But that must be balanced with the need to protect what makes the area worth living in in the first place. Recent development elsewhere in Edinburgh show just how badly things can go wrong. But they also show how effective people power can be. With your help we can make sure that this development is in the best interests of residents, both present and future. Please sign our petition and help make sure that Edinburgh Council does not approve these plans in their current form. Thank you. You can find more information about the proposed development and material objections to the plans at the following links: http://www.ntbcc.org.uk/development-on-the-rbs-site-on-dundas-street-and-fettes-row-response-to-latest-consultation/ http://www.kgvsy.org.uk http://www.broughtonspurtle.org.uk/news/locals-rally-resist-rbs-plans

People in small towns and villages need internet just as much as people in big towns and cities. Decent broadband connection is essential for everything from paying bills to running businesses. Not forgetting of course that school children and college students need broadband access to do their homework. But for some places in the UK, the internet speed is either painfully slow or non-existent. It's time the government stepped up and fulfilled it's promise of decent broadband for everyone.

so we can save our planet and we wont run out of oxygen , we can plant these trees at Lewes Road and at The Level

Its very important because it has a very sharp turning to the Queensdown road at the end of the Downs Road E5 at the corner of Downs Park. members of the Public use it, College Students use it. Its at the point where a Church stands. Please sign this petition.

Liverpool City Council have already decided to cut some school crossing patrols (Lollipop ladies/men) because they are not a statutory service and therefore they do not have a legal obligation to keep our children safe. Although Greenbank Primary’s School crossing patrol was cut, Greenbank School along with more than another 50 schools have stepped in to fund this vital service. As you are all more than aware, a huge redevelopment is taking place on Smithdown Road, many of us have raised concerns about making this road much safer for pedestrians. This is the perfect opportunity to request Liverpool City Council to make this junction between Smithdown Road and Greenbank Road much safer to cross. After several emails to the City Council and local Councillors I recently raised this issue with the school. I was asked to collate the support of lots of parents so I have develop this petition: This is of the upmost importance as the road is very busy with traffic and all of us who travel to and from the primary school, nursery and park need the highest of road safety. The council have worked in partnership with the University of Liverpool to add a crossing for students to access Greenbank Park because the road crossing there is dangerous. Do we not all believe that our children deserve the same level of safety?

The current parish boundaries were drawn up long before Beverley had a building boom, which saw the settlement grow into the continuous built-up area we now know. The separation into three parish authorities is now outdated, and no longer reflects the community. It also means that some residents living in Beverley, specifically to the North and the South of Beverley, do not have a say on Beverley Town Council because they belong to Molescroft Parish and Woodmansey Parish. In other words, the current community governance arrangements hinder effective local government. Residents on Lincoln Way and the surrounding area are unlikely to consider themselves as living in Woodmansey. Moreover, residents have expressed concern that their interests are not properly represented on Woodmansey Parish, as exemplified in said parish council’s decision to commission a Neighbourhood Plan that covers only the village itself. As for Molescroft, it forms part of Beverley, and its residents ought to have a say on the Town Council; however, this cannot happen whilst there is a separate Molescroft Parish Council. To sum up, the current community governance arrangements hinder community cohesion and effective local government by artificially splitting the town of Beverley into three parts. The above recommendations · improve community engagement · bring communities closer together · create better local democracy · result in more efficient delivery of local services We are, therefore, asking East Riding of Yorkshire Council to undertake a community governance review to ensure that community governance arrangements reflect local identities and facilitate effective and convenient local government.

Kingsley Road runs alongside two primary schools and is used by pedestrians, cyclists, cars and buses. After much campaigning by Kingsley Community Primary School, a zebra crossing has been added to the road, however many cars still speed through it and ignore pedestrians crossing the road. In order to make the road safer for all road users, we the undersigned propose reducing the speed limit to 20mph and enforcing it with a speed camera. Residents who live on Kingsley Road have reported that it is difficult to reverse out of their driveways currently, as other cars drive past so fast. A child from Kingsley School has been involved in an incident on the road. Many parents with children at the schools are in favour of reducing the speed limit, as are local residents. There is no need for this road to have a 30mph speed limit. A driver driving at 20mph is far less likely to be involved in a road collision than one driving at 30mph.

My wife had a double lung transplant in April 2014 as she was born with Cystic Fibrosis and had months to live without such an a gift of life. Since Summer 2014 we and local residents have been fighting plans to build another 25 houses around our property on old allotments ground. The applications are flawed in many ways and have objections from County Highways Authority. Due to Highways objections it also proposes changes to our property by taking a small proportion of our land and changing our parking from the front to the rear which we have already refused when offered. None of the legalities have been addressed by the applicants, despite repeated requests. Whilst we consider the application to be invalid due to lack of legalities and missing/inaccurate information the Planning Case Officer sees no merit in refusing permission, suggesting it is not invalid! We have now been stuck in a position for nearly two years where our future is being held by many other parties and not ourselves. We cannot even market our property should we wish to due to the lack of legal agreements. In the meantime during 2015 a nearby site of 85 houses has had a serious effect on her health with the huge amounts of dust contributing to her contracting Aspergillosis and losing over 30% of her new donor lungs!
