Skateboarding, scootering and associated activities are hugely popular with young people. There is a high demand for somewhere safe and exciting in the town for skaters to use. At present, most skaters use the station car park. They deserve something better. There is a great deal of evidence to suggest that provision of resources like skate parks greatly reduces youth crime and unrest, which benefits the local community and contributes to making towns more vibrant places to live.

Single use plastic bottles are becoming a major menace to the environment. 7.7 billion plastic water bottles are sold in the UK each year, and although every local authority in the UK now provides household recycling collections, the recycling rate for plastic bottles has plateaued at just under 60 per cent. The advantage of public drinking fountains and refills, says environmental campaigner Ben Reynolds, deputy chief executive of the charity Sustain is that they reduce the “insanity” of bottled water, much imported from France and some from as far afield as Fiji. Drinking water fountains in Loughborough Town Centre would mean that residents and visitors could refill bottles for free, drastically cutting down on the number o single use plastic bottles being used. A well-designed fountain could also become a feature for the town, like 'The Sock Man'.

- The volume and speed of traffic using Over Wallop is inappropriate. - The traffic situation in the village is dangerous with numerous incidents involving pets in recent years and a number of near-misses with school children. - We absolutely support a traffic calming scheme in the village - but do not support certain elements of the scheme as proposed by Hampshire County Council. - The proposed permanent closure of Salisbury Lane will cause a very material increase in traffic on Station Road (as was evidenced during the recent temporary closure of the lane). - It seems inequitable that Station Road should bear the entire traffic burden in the village. - We believe a fairer solution would be that Salisbury Lane remains open and that chicanes are placed on both Station Road and Salisbury Lane to deter use as a cut-through and slow traffic. - This solution should distribute traffic between Salisbury Lane and Station Road, thereby minimising the impact of road traffic on residents of both roads. - In addition, we strongly believe that changes are required to the road layout (introduction of a mini roundabout) at the junction of the Old Stockbridge Road and the A343 at Kentsboro in order to support the flow of traffic away from Over Wallop. This junction is already an accident blackspot which will only get worse if the proposed traffic calming measures are introduced. If your husband, wife, parnter, children (over 18) or others support this petition please ask them to sign individually. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PETITION IS CONFIDENTIAL AND THAT "SIGNATORIES" NAMES WILL NOT BE DISCLOSED TO ANYONE OTHER THAN THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF HAMPSHIRE COUNTRY COUNCIL.

St Clears is a small village in West Wales with a population of under 3000 residents. We already have 2 fish and chip shops, a subway, a kebab shop, pizza bar, 2 indian takeaways, 1 chinese takeaway, Starbucks coffee and a chicken rotisserie bar. The proposed development of a drive through McDonalds and Costa coffee is not needed. Travellers driving through can call at the McDonalds in Carmarthen 10 miles away or make use of the host of other local businesses in St Clears, or the Roadhouse restaurant a few miles further on. As a community we have concerns regarding the impact of the proposed development on both the health and wellbeing of the community. We believe that the development is at odds with Welsh Government sustainable development charter and wellbeing of future generations act which aims to promote long term health and wellbeing of people and communities in Wales and reduce obesity and other chronic illnesses. The area considered for development is already very heavily burdened with traffic coming from both the A40 and A477. The addition of traffic slowing down to enter the facility would impact dramatically on the flow of traffic, causing potential risk for the pedestrians using the area as well massive environmental impact in terms of air and noise pollution, destruction of nature habitats and littering. We want the council to turn down planning application for this proposed development. Please sign this petition and support our village.

Hywel Dda University Health Board's plans include 3 options - ALL of which will close the A&E units at Glangwili and Withybush hospitals. The Glangwili unit was built relatively recently and Withybush has also been upgraded. The plan calls for building a new major hospital in the countryside "somewhere between Narberth and St Clears". All 3 options list as a disadvantage that patients will have to travel further to access planned and emergency care in an area already poorly served by public transport and with a limited number of ambulance stations and ambulances to cover a large rural area; while it's true we have the excellent Wales Air Ambulance, that can't be everywhere. Making patients travel further to reach A&E could cost lives. A secondary issue arises from the likely difficulty patients and visitors will face in travelling to the proposed new hospital, especially if they don't have access to a car. You can see the plans in detail here: https://www.ors.org.uk/web/upload/surveys/751664/files/BC-MainConsultationDocumentVersion1%281%29.pdf

The heritage of the city is one of its greatest assets and the unspoilt medieval street scape is a joy to all who live work and visit Norwich. The scheme will not solve local housing affordability issues, and there are thousands of unbuilt planning permissions in sites around the fringe of the city. Instead, the scheme will dwarf our historic city centre, displace many entrepreneurial and creative businesses and not deliver the sensitive regeneration we want and need. Support us in turning away London-style over-densification of our city.

This is a local residential area and is an eyesore. The area is on a main road leading in and out of Hayle an looks awful for both residents and visitors. Hayle relies heavily on attracting tourists and this distracts from the hard work put in by locals and local community groups such as Hayle in bloom who work hard to make the town look attractive. Now that the boarding is down the site is also open and is a health and safety hazard. Clean it up now!

The countryside around the Loch is irreplaceable. That is why the park authorities are hugely careful about caring for the area and they actively encourage visitors to the park to do so too. Building a massive, commercial visitor attraction in the area will bring massive pollution, increased human and vehicle traffic and invasive building work to an area with limited infrastructure (unless the natural environment is ripped apart to build more roads etc...), which will irreparably damage a protected area, with a unique ecosystem.

Moseley Friends' Institute was gifted to the people of Birmingham by the Cadbury family so that it could be used for the benefit of local people. It has for many years been managed by Birmingham City Council, who are currently considering the future of the building. Although it is currently in need of renovation and repair, it could be an important resource for the community.

So many cars, and while there are crossings, there are very far away and inconvenient to cross. This prioritising cars in the city and displacing the right of people. Critical to allow pedestrians to have right on the road and hopefully reduce car use.

Car Parking charges will kill off Dingwall High Street altogether. Please show your support for this cause by signing our petition and sending the letter below to all 4 of our Councillors elected to represent Dingwall. You will find their email addresses below. Thank you. Email template: Dear Councillors elected to represent the Dingwall & Seaforth Ward, I am writing to ask you to reverse Highland Council's decision to introduce car parking charges in the Dingwall south car park. Whilst car parking charges may help other towns across the region, Dingwall does not currently have parking or congestion problems. Therefore, these new charges will be seen as a barrier and are likely to deter locals and visitors from doing their shopping in the town and consequently disadvantage its small businesses. One of the best things about Dingwall is the FREE parking available. The council should be doing more to support local businesses and not hamper them. I urge you to help protect Dingwall and reverse the decision to introduce car parking charges. Finally, please update me on what action you have taken to achieve the above. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours Sincerely, Name: Address: Please cut and paste above then send to: graham.mackenzie.cllr@highland.gov.uk alister.mackinnon.cllr@highland.gov.uk angela.maclean.cllr@highland.gov.uk margaret.paterson.cllr@highland.gov.uk

Please consider any local café, restaurant, pub, clubs/sports associations and village hall a community asset, i.e. somewhere people can gather and socialise and ensure that these establishments are protected under Planning Law. Under current planning law a change of use is permitted through the planning application process, which in turn initiates a "consultation" process i.e. the community has the opportunity to object to an application. However Planning Officers have a tendency to ignore objections and rubber stamp development, a recent example local to me had 700 petitioned objections 13 written and the support of a Local Councillor, planning was still granted. The Government must support the community and prevent Council's and developers ignoring the wish of the local populous. Media reports that society is changing, and that the mental health of the nation is suffering, could this be because people have become insular by not going out. Pub’s, as an example, used to be a place where the local community met, socialised and resolved local issues between themselves, everybody knew their neighbour, their neighbour’s kids, etc. This sense of community is rapidly being lost. People are sitting at home becoming keyboard warriors and panicking over fake-news, they do not have an outlet to talk to others, attributing to the overall mental health of a Nation. Community assets should be protected by Law and encouraged with lesser rents, exemption from business rates, they after all are providing a service to the public, the local community and at times law enforcement. If a building cannot be maintained in it's current use, an alternative use that benefits the community would be preferable, i.e. conversion to a youth club rather that developed for profit.
