• Don't delay the new Ysgol Pendref School
    Ysgol Heulfre merged with neighbouring Ysgol Gwaenynog to form Ysgol Pendref in 2012 and we were promised a new building by 2019, with feasibility works beginning in 2014. Denbighshire County Council have now back tracked on their promises, saying the costs are too high and that the school must wait for the next round of schools funding. This is despite the dates being a condition to the merger. It now looks likely that the new school will not be ready until 2024 if the Council gets it's way. This will have a major impact on our childrens education and ultimatley their futures. With more homes due to be built in the area, class sizes growing and cuts to schools budgets this delay cannot be allowed to happen and the Council must be held to account for their promises. The old site is not fit for purpose in any way. As a parent, I cannot stand by and do nothing. We all need to stand together and fight for our children and their futures before it's too late. Please visit the link below for more information but please don't forget to sign before you leave. http://m.denbighshirefreepress.co.uk/mobile/mnews/172401/new-ysgol-pendref-building-in-denbigh-could-be-put-back-to-2024.aspx

  • Replacing street trees
    Brockley is in the middle of a radical tree-trimming and removal programme. This came without any warning to residents. The trees around the Aspinall Road area of Brockley are famous for their spring blossom and their fruits feed hundreds of birds in the area. They are a beautiful and particular feature of the area. Children have played in them and elderly people sit out in spring to enjoy the blossom. They bring protection to properties from hot sun in the summer and a sense of partial privacy in built-up areas. Where they are replaced, the species are not consistent. They are vital in this over-polluted city.

  • Emergency accommodation for Grenfell Tower victims
    It is obscene that foreign investors can buy up and leave unoccupied these properties whilst in this country there is a dire affordable housing shortage. It is a sad indictment of our society, and in particular of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, that this state of affairs is allowed to exist.

  • 20's Plenty for Shropshire
    Shropshire-wide conference on the benefits of 20mph total system default speed limit on all residential roads in Shropshire. Theatre Severn, Shrewsbury, Saturday 30th September 2017, Between 13:00 – 17:00 You may already be aware that 20mph general system-wide, default speed limits are well established in the United Kingdom as a highly effective public health intervention, and an important contribution to increasing the amount of walking, cycling and creating attractive, people-friendly streets. Approximately 15 million people in England and Wales now live in areas where the majority of roads and streets have a 20mph speed limit. There is widespread public support (>70%) for 20mph mainly on road safety grounds. It is very hard to kill a pedestrian or cyclist at 20mph (9 out of 10 hit by a vehicle survive) but fatalities are more likely at 30mph (only 5 out of 10 survive being hit). There is robust scientific evidence that 20mph is a highly effective pubic health intervention, and increases the number of people walking and cycling which in turn reduces car use, congestion, greenhouse gas emissions and improves air quality. Many of us have argued for five years or more for a Shropshire-wide 20mph limit, but Shropshire Council refuses to adopt this policy and the Police and Crime Commissioner for West Mercia, John Campion has told us he does not support the idea. The conference will explore the degree to which the 20mph policy commitment can assist with the delivery of Shropshire Council’s priorities which include tackling obesity, reducing congestion and air pollution. 20mph limits have considerable potential to deliver 'policy CS7' in the Shropshire Council Local Development Framework Adopted Core Strategy: CS7: “It is important to recognise that the quality of opportunities for walking and cycling will encourage physical activity, and this would help to improve the health and quality of life of individuals within local communities”. We are organising a high profile conference in Shrewsbury in September 2017. This will bring together community groups, 20mph campaign groups, public health specialists and experts on the evidence that 20mph works well. 20mph is not expensive to implement, and does not impose extra burdens on policing through additional enforcement tasks. The idea is to raise public awareness and engage with the media and present Shropshire Council with a strong, irrefutable case for the idea. We are a community group with no funds. It has been estimated that paying for the venue and the travel expenses of the six speakers will cost approximately £1000. We would very much like to raise this amount through the crowdfunding route. If at all possible, can you please go to this crowdfunding site and make a donation. http://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/benefits-of-a-shropshire-wide-conference-for-20mph For further information on the conference please contact the organisers: Organisers are as below.

  • Install fire sprinklers in all high rise buildings in London
    We recognise that an effective response to the horrific events at Grenfell Tower is not forthcoming from the Central Government or the Local Council, and that therefore the responsibility for safety of Londoners, the old, the poor, the young and everyone else falls to the relevant authorities with the largest democratic mandate from us. We therefore call on the Greater London Authority, and it's head the Mayor of London as well as London Councils to fit out all high rise blocks in Greater London that do not have fire sprinkler systems installed with fire sprinklers as soon as practically possible by the end of this year and if necessary using public funds. We also ask that the London Assembly to hold the relevant authorities to account on this matter, to make sure that all Londoners feel safe enough to sleep in their homes by the end of the year.

  • Please let the People Parking Bay in Hackney remain
    We would like to see a people parking bay or parklet in every street in Hackney. The provision of official parklets by Hackney Council in three locations in Hackney in three years is welcome and we recognise Hackney is ahead of the curve in London. However, it will take a millennium to have a significant impact on the parking environment in Hackney. Therefore, we would like to work with the Council to develop a community and business led 'parklet' programme that will allow people and businesses to invest in the public realm. This experimental community parklet allows the gauging of public support for such an idea. Please do let the experiment run its course. The bay is very popular with residents and passers by. The visitor book has hundreds of positive comments: https://goo.gl/photos/gUA8bbtaMamuCcUC8 Walking is the most common way for people to get around in Hackney but while car parking dominates kerbside space there is little provision for pedestrians to rest. Many people, including older and disabled people, and people with kids need regular rest stops while walking, and pavements are too narrow for walking let alone placing benches on them. The popularity of this people parking bay is demonstrating that resting spots for pedestrians are likely to very popular. The people parking bay was a lead article in Local Transport Today. https://www.transportxtra.com/publications/parking-review/news/53699/hackney-resident-wants-to-convert-parking-bays-into-people-places www.peopleparkingbay.com
