  • Stop Commercial flights at RAF Northolt
    RAF Northolt has a proud history in the service of Britain, but after years of changes by the back door almost every flight is now commercial. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) recently increased the number of non-military flights from 7,000 to 12,000 every year with no consultation with residents. That’s in addition to the thousands of flights over west London’s already congested skies. Any other civil airport would have had to go through the proper planning process, allowing the public to have their say. But the MoD just hid behind the veil of national security and the local council seemed happy to let them. A secret report recently revealed Northolt could take up to 50,000 commercial flights a year, including regional airlines using bigger jets. Now they are preparing to spend £45 million of taxpayers’ money on renovations. With regional airlines like FlyBe lobbying hard to use Northolt “right now”, it’s not hard to work out why these changes are being made. This is the next step on the road to becoming a fully fledged regional airport. This could be your last chance to stop up to 50,000 commercial flights a year and Northolt effectively becoming Heathrow’s fourth runway. If you don’t want this to happen, join our campaign and tell the Government to end commercial flights at Northolt now. Please visit http://stopnortholt.org for more information.

  • Save Our Trees
    The trees are an important area for the environment, for the birds nesting and roosting in them. The trees form a magnificent canopy over the village green, an amenity used by the general public and also by photographers especially for weddings and Christenings. The area is extremely attractive and sets off the approach to St. Peter's Church.

  • Zebra crossing on Horseferry Road
    The road is heavily used by both vehicles and pedestrians. Unfortunately my son was hit by a car while attempting to cross at the island crossing. There has also been other pedestrian incidents including near misses. It is also used by two local schools as well as local residents and businesses. There needs to be a safer crossing in place for pedestrians which will encourage drivers to slow down and be more vigilant.

  • Save Studio 24
    As a resident of Edinburgh and long term clubber Studio 24 has, is and ALWAYS WILL BE a safe haven for unique, gifted and individually minded youngsters to share a safe common space to express themselves fully and safely, as well as perpetually. Hundreds of thousands of patrons have spent a multitude of nights enjoying the culture created within the club, one that has kept alive a special flame ignited in the golden eras of freedom and love throughout time. Those moving into the area obviously have a proper chip on their shoulder about what this venue stands for, and as such should PROPERLY have considered what environment they were choosing to live near and act accordingly rather than bullying the staff and patrons into the situation currently in process. This appeal is for anyone and everyone who has ever made lifelong connections, memories and values on the beautiful club dancefloor of Studios and the world, and an impassioned plea to keep said environment open to allow real love and passion to continue to flourish exponentially and forever. PLEASE SAVE OUR VENUE

  • Residents of Burnley Against - The Local Plan 2016
    Burnley Council have created a Local Plan for the Town for the next 16 years. The Residents have not been properly consulted over many aspects of this plan over the past 6-10 years. Local Councillors and County Councillors have failed to inform their electorate. The Majority Labour Council have forced the Local Plan through all the voting schedules with a total disrespect for Public Opinion and disregarded comments and local public knowledge. This Local Plan includes:- The Destruction of Greenfield sites by development of 500+ Houses and New Factory estates. The Building of a Gypsy Traveler site in Stoneyholme the heart of the town center next to a primary school, a new housing development and in a socially underfunded area. The absorption of local villages such as Worsthorne & Briercliffe by speculative developers into the Town boundary. The Destruction of Areas of Rural Natural beauty in Padiham to build warehouse space on the hillside at Shuttleworth Mead. This creation of the Local Plan has NOT included. Consultation with residents through the appointed working party of Councillors Continually working with residents or groups in the town, or the setting up any resident committees. A fully costed viable business plan to show how this plan will benefit the Town. Alternative sites and solutions within it should the Local Plan be shown to be failing in its execution over the 16 year period - no Plan B. The Cost of this Local Plan to the Tax Payer of Burnley is over £2million - the last plan in 2006 cost around £250,000, an 1/8 of the cost of the 2016 plan - this needs to be made public.

  • STOP HUGE VODAFONE MAST IN WELLS RESIDENTIAL AREA
    This proposed telecoms mast is huge (17.5 meter) and totally out of proportion with it's surroundings i.e. a residential area near the historic Wells city centre. It will dominate the skyline for many nearby. The mast and associated cabinets will affect pedestrian safety further in an already notorious black spot. The mast will emit a forever increasing amount of radio waves; local residents are very worried about possible negative effects on their health, and it is thought that children and elderly are even more vulnerable to the effects. There are several schools in the area and the mast will be sited along the school routes. We also need clarification of possible effects of other associated electro-magnetic radiation on residents living near a mast. The mast will lead to major value loss of the properties in the neighbourhood especially the ones near to the actual site. Local residents argue that the planning application may be in breach with their human rights of enjoyment of their property, in particular because it is thought that there are more suitable alternative sites in non-residential areas, so the service can be provided if this is seen as absolutely necessary in the interest of the wider public. In addition the installation of the mast will totally remove the individual's choice to be able to avoid exposure to the signals.

  • Protect green space in Luton
    Luton is a small borough with a large population and one of the youngest populations in England --there needs to be a good amount of green open space for the enjoyment of all the residents in Luton. A large park (Wigmore Valley Park) is currently under threat of industrial development because it is close to Luton Airport. Luton currently has less than 50% of the recognized green open space for a town of its size and population.

  • Save children's play area
    It was left as a designated children's play area in the 1960's for the children of the estate. This would leave the children without any play area or green space on the whole estate.

  • Stratford Road, Wolverton. For the installation of Speed humps or Speeding Cameras
    Last year there was a fatal accident on Stratford Road, since then a young lad walking home from school was hit by a car. Does it take another fatality for action to be taken regarding some form of traffic calming? Living on SR, I see cars driving at very high speed everyday, if they clipped the curb they would take out a life. With the up and coming Wolverton Works the road is going to get even busier.

  • Save our trees on 'Green' lanes
    The council ignore resident concerns and is intent on pressing forward despite the transformation of our Winchmore hill into an ugly, congested, concrete jungle with decimated natural beauty and failing business. Enfield council presented false statements and visual plans of green lanes in their 'consultation for the cycle lane scheme - on the drawings no mention was made of tearing up and ripping out ten mature trees along our green lanes to date - and more to come.The residents of Winchmore hill did not agree to the replacement of beautiful mature trees with grey slabs of concrete - 'improving public spaces ' in the council's words. No effort has been made to protect the trees at all despite claims to the contrary . Worryingly letters have been put in local communications to inform residents of more trees 'necessary' to be removed . These were not presented as needing removal in the 'consultation' plans. We live in Winchmore hill because we chose to live amongst greenery and historical mature trees.
