The Library Theatre is a 260 seat Art Deco theatre which is unique amongst the theatres of Sheffield. It is the only theatre owned by, and belonging to the residents of Sheffield. Sheffield groups perform there and Sheffield people make up the audience. It is “The People’s Theatre.” It is home to an eclectic mix of amateur theatre, youth theatre, dance, music, local primary schools and an extensive range of professional touring companies including Doc/Fest and Tramlines It provides our residents the opportunity to go to the theatre at a reasonable cost. It is visited by thousands of Sheffield residents every year and is regarded by those who use it as “our theatre.” It is ideally placed for those reliant on public transport and, for many, it is the only time they visit the City Centre in the evening. And if it goes? All the activities it supports will go with it. It will be a body blow to the cultural identity of the city. It mustn’t be allowed to happen. If a new Central Library is built, it is vital that a new theatre is part of the plan. It’s time for SCC to give the Library Theatre users the same guarantee they have given to the users of the Library and Graves Art Gallery.

The site of the old Pierhead Cafe in Swanage is a critically important location. It is next to the old Victorian Pier and overlooking the part of the seafront where many residents and visitors to the town congregate to walk, talk and drink tea. For years now it has been allowed to fall into extreme disrepair while the owners and the planners have argued about its future use. A mixed use plan, recreating the former cafe site and including a number of flats, most likely to appeal as holiday apartments rather than homes for locals, has been approved. But now the owners want to eliminate the cafe and make this important location purely a block flats. Swanage has few prime seafront sites and this is our last chance to have something worthwhile which benefits the whole community. Please reject this revised plan.

These rooms are a well-regarded facility in the area with a great future when used by the community. Many people have attended events at the Corrib Rest and recent attempts by local residents have tried to arrange activities. Pensioners now evicted from their weekly get togethers here have now had to use an unheated hall. Community facilities like this are far more important than 9 luxury flats. The petition was delivered to the planners and now we have the Committee hearing. On Weds 28th June at 7pm we want to try and get as many people as possible to attend the hearing to support the community rooms being kept. please attend if you can at Brent Civic Centre, Engineers Way, Wembley, HA9 0FJ. support is important so please help and attend if you feel strongly about loss of community spaces

This site is now a unique wild life habitat containing a rich mosaic of grass and shale. It would be nigh on impossible to replicate what nature has produced here. Leaving aside wildlife, the real threat from this application is to the health and well being of local residents which is very serious. The nearby M1 motorway is having a speed restriction imposed to try to reduce high pollution levels another 200 wagon (all diesel) movements a day from this site will only add to a that toxic mix.

This junction is dangerous and congestion backs down from the junction to the Jamb in Corby. This is made worse during peak times causing delays for workers, children travelling to and from school and businesses.

Most people are aware of the pressures the Ambulance Service and the NHS are under. What many may be unaware of is the wideranging variances there are in Bus Lane use between Local Authorities. This makes it confusing, and reliant upon local knowledge, as to whether a Bus Lane may be used or not. Ambulances sitting in queues of traffic while Bus Lanes are free doesn't make much sense, as it delays patients and Ambulances when there is an alternative.

The nuclear option for electricity is dirty and dangerous. On Anglesey lets focus on renewable to generate more jobs and a sustainable future without the risk to the locality and the planet, with no radioactive waste. Talk to the people of Trawsfynydd, they thought it was safe now look at all the families devastated by cancer, a radioactive lake and an eyesore there for a thousand years.

I believe that the public display of planning permission notices should be a compulsory part of the planning process for applications to carry out work on trees with Tree Protection Orders and in Local Conservation Areas. At the moment there is no 'requirement' to display such public notices. This means that the first local people know of work to these special trees is when the work actually starts. This is likely to be long after the window of opportunity for comment as part of the planning process has passed. I became aware of this issue recently when I was looking on our local planning authority website after hearing a rumour of tree work in our local park. It was only then that I found out that one of the trees to be felled was a much loved local Oak. The park is in a Conservation Area. I felt devastated that it was already too late to have any input into the application. I hadn't known to look on the planning website beforehand to check on tree work as I had assumed any notices would be posted nearby as with other types of planning application. I tried everything I could think of to save the tree but all to no avail. I doesn't seem right to me that trees with supposedly protected status have so little protection in practice and I feel that others will also be shocked to learn that permission can be given to fell these special trees without consulting or even informing local people at all. Please sign my petition to help protect our special trees for future generations and wildlife to enjoy.

The Belfast Telegraph recently published an article outlining plans to demolish the Movie House on Dublin Road. "Plans are now under way to knock down the Movie House cinema on Dublin Road and build a £65m 12-storey office scheme with a capacity for 3,000 staff." You can read more here http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/business/news/65m-office-block-at-belfast-movie-house-site-will-create-600-jobs-35398523.html I believe that the Movie House on Dublin Road is one of the best cinemas in the city, out of the very few that we have. Losing it would be yet another nail in the coffin for the arts in Belfast for the sake of the commercial and financial gain of the minority. Any proposal to demolish this wonderful cinema would be yet another example of the rampant 'beigification' of Belfast. Those of us who want to save the Movie House from such shameful fate need to fight for it right now. A petition signed by 1000s of people whilst an open consultation process is ongoing may just make developers think twice about demolishing our cinema. We need the power of signatures to help us convince developers that the cinema is worth keeping and important to many people. We must unite and reject any proposals to destroy our arts scene.

Hylands Park is a beautiful little park in Havering where people walk their dogs, children of all ages play tennis, football, basketball, local school pupils go there to say goodbye to their friends on the last day of term and where cricket is played during the summer months. A developer has bought a house with a long garden that runs behind the cricket nets in the park. This garden used to be filled with thick, strong trees that were taller than my house (on the other side of this garden) and must have stood there for decades. These trees formed a boundary between the park and the housing estate behind it, as well as being part of the stunning backdrop of the park. When the developer tore them down it was as though someone had taken a knife and slashed holes in a beautiful painting. He now wants to compound the eyesore he has created by putting a block of flats in this garden. If this development is allowed to go ahead, it would lead down a slippery road where more and more buildings are allowed to encroach on our green open spaces. This is an issue that affects everyone that cares about their local parks and communities.

Safety on the school run!

The former vicarage is of special architectural and historic interest; it contributes to a group of important listed buildings (all by the same designer) at the heart of a conservation area. Although heavily vandalised (caused by neglect and poor security over many years), the listed building is capable of rehabilitation, adaptation and extension to form multiple dwellings. Lost interior details can by copied from Austin's own 1875 home, The Knoll, in Lancaster. To pay for the scheme, additional houses can be built in the vicarage gardens in such a way as to open up the views to the west end of the Grade I listed church, save the south lawn, and better use the listed boundary wall and gates. The counter proposal to demolition is more sustainable, sympathetic to the site and enhances a forlorn and abandoned heritage asset.
