The introduction of car parking fees are capable of destroying years of investment and hard work which has brought New Brighton prosperity, and a reinvigorated economy. The most popular answer in a poll undertaken to ask why people like New Brighton is "Free Parking", next "the best beaches this side of Anglesey"! New Brighton was dying only 10 years ago, but we and the council managed to attract investment from "Neptune development" It might be best to not waste all that time and money by returning to 10 years ago

J.A. Campbell architect . Building some of Glasgow's finest Victorian inner city architecture should be protected or at least sensitively redesigned for a modern city amenity rather than being demolished. It lies within the Central Glasgow conservation area, so in principle its demolition should not be approved.

Visibility is poor on this junction, particularly turning from Farm Lane towards Minsterley. Children cross this road to wait for the Mary Webb School & Science College bus and Minsterley Motors bus service; they need to be, and to feel, safe. Motorcyclists and car drivers leaving Minsterley see this stretch of the A488 as an opportunity to accelerate, often not respecting even the 60mph limit, which is already too high for this junction. Similarly, Farm Lane serves the whole of the Snailbeach/Stiperstones region and this creates a lot of traffic in the rush hour and tourist season, including bicycles and pedestrians. In term time, there are often children walking up and down Farm Lane. Many drivers approach the last bend towards the Plox Green junction at high speeds. Residents often hear squealing of wheels and brakes on the main road and Farm Lane. Residents have witnessed several accidents on both the A488 junction at Plox Green, and on the approach to the bridge by the junction on Farm Lane, Plox Green. Also, cars coming down the Hope Valley sometimes do not note that vehicles are turning up towards Snailbeach. There has been at least one accident, and much driver stress, waiting to turn right and watching in the rear view mirror as vehicles approach at high speed from Hope. There was much successful improvement made to the road 20 years ago to reduce the number of accidents. This means that cars can now travel at much higher speeds at less risk to themselves. However, there is now a greater risk to vehicles emerging from Snailbeach direction, and children, cyclists, bus users, and tourists. This is a residential cross roads. Please help us bring down the speed limit on this junction.

If this development is allowed to go ahead unchallenged it will declare an open season for developers encroaching on protected land. Part of the development is classified as brown fields as it is on the site of the Molins factory in Haw Lane. This was originally a wartime dispersal factory which was placed here with the promise that when it was demolished it would be returned to farmland- a promise that has conveniently been ignored. The factory was situated so that it was not easily visible from the road and rail links through the valley. The new proposal, however, covers far more than the Molins site. It takes a sweep up almost to the crest of Slough Hill, one of a ridge of hills forming the south side of the Risborough gap. It will be highly visible and despoil what is at present and undeveloped area. The hamlet of Saunderton will become a dormitory village. The most concerning part of this proposal is that this is within the Chilterns AONB. Of all the AONB in the country, the Chilterns, just 30 miles from London, is likely to be under most pressure. Other AONB within the London commuter belt (such as those in Berkshire) will also come under sustained threat. A strong swell of disagreement with these plans would warn other developers and councils from making further outrageous proposals.

Many people are now having to seek private rented accommodation, due to there being a lack of social housing. They are being exploited by rogue, and greedy landlords, who can get away with mistreating tenants because they don`t have anywhere else to go. It`s common to read: NO DSS, NO PETS and NO CHILDREN ! Are people on benefits commiting a crime by having to accept benefits ?? Landlords are able to dictate terms, increase the rent and give you short notice to leave. We need to have affordable and secure tenancies, not expensive private lets. Previous, and existing governments, have created this dilemma, and they have admitted to relying on private landlords to fill in the gap. Right to buy is brilliant for the people that can take advantage of this opportunity, but, if there is no plan to replace these properties, they are lost to anyone wanting to rent for ever. I believe that the revenue from the right to buy was used to help pay off the national debt; which is very short sighted, and has resulted in the dire situation we have in the housing market now. I would like to reiterate, please, can we have some COMMON SENSE used before any government policies are implemented ?

In the longer run it will be cheaper, allow for more open democracy, less pomp and ceremony and rebalance to country away from its London-centric attitude

Listed status would help protect the buildings and green spaces of this world famous and highly significant cultural project, the product of one of the most important socialist design eras of post war Britain and Europe. The estate stands as a pinnacle of positive and hopeful architecture and urbanism across the world, and a reminder that from such catastrophic destruction can be wrought optimism in a system such as the welfare state. The buildings, which offer generously-sized flats that could be refurbished, are of outstanding architectural quality and significant historic interest, and public appreciation and understanding of the value of modernist architecture has grown over the past five years, making the case for listing stronger than ever. The UK's 20th Century Society has submitted a paper setting out why they believe Robin Hood Gardens is a building of special architectural interest, worthy of listing. There is now a real chance to save the building for posterity but only if the Minister hears, first hand, the views of the profession on the architectural merits of these exceptional buildings by Alison and Peter Smithson.

The proposed skyscraper at 22 Bishopsgate is on plot earmarked for the tallest building in the City of London. This site should therefore be reserved for a building of architectural merit and be world enviable. Instead in Karen Cook of PLP Architecture, (the senior architect of the scheme) own admission to the Architects Journal "we didn't want to appear extravagant in terms of cost and design" "I wanted to do something dignified and simple, allowing the other more articulated one-off pieces (such as the Cheesegrater and the Gerkin) to remain special." This scheme will destroy the city views to millions of Londoners and affect London's appeal around the world. This particular site will be of special architectural interest to the public and the proposed scheme does not meet their expectation. The prior superior scheme gained planning permission and is a building worthy in London's skyline.

Middlewich in Cheshire now has a population of some 15,000 residents. Middlewich is probably the largest town in Cheshire WITHOUT A PASSENGER RAILWAY SERVICE. Middlewich is probably THE ONLY TOWN IN CHESHIRE WITHOUT A PASSENGER RAILWAY SERVICE!!!!

Crossways is a village with a population of 2300 housed within 1000 dwellings. There are currently plans to build 5-700 new homes boardering the south of the village and up to 1000 holiday homes within the Silverlakes development to the west. We are now seeing a number of applications for smaller developments of between 85 to100 additional homes on green land surrounding the village. These combined developments will change the character of the village and surrounding area creating an urban sprawl. If we allow this scale of building to take place we will lose large areas of forest and open land forever.

Nice Old Pubs were built where people meet and socialise. This happens to a much lesser extent in shops. Once a Pub is gone another is unlikely to be built in the local area, so destroying the community spirit.

For far too long now England, in fact the whole UK, has been London and those other little places round the edges. The north never gets a fair deal, especially Cumbria, so it's time we went at it alone. The United Kingdom of England, Scotland, Wales, NI, and Cumberland.....has a nice ring to it.
