At the end of last year the much loved University Settlement building in Splott was acquired by local property developer John Smart. His aim is to demolish the building and erect an inappropriate high block of flats. The University Settlement building was built in 1904 to house a movement that provided an education for all at the beginning of the 20th century in an age where this would have been unattainable and unaffordable for most working class people. Latterly it was the first St Illtyd’s Catholic Grammar School for Boys. The building, designed by renowned Arts and Crafts architect Robert Weir Schultz is the only remaining example of a University Settlement in Wales. Please join our eleventh hour petition in an appeal to John Smart not to demolish and the planning department of Cardiff City Council and Llywodraeth Cymru not to allow the destruction of this unique building. Mae adeiladau hanesyddol Anheddfan y Brifysgol wedi dod i feddiant y datblygwr eiddo lleol John Smart. Ei fwriad yw dymchwel yr adeilad ac adeiladu twr anaddas o fflatiau. Adeiladwyd adeilad Anheddfan y Brifysgol yn 1904 i roi cartre i fudiad oedd yn gyfrifrol am ddarparu addysg i bawb ar ddechrau’r 20fed Ganrif mewn oes lle na fyddai hynny o fewn cyrraedd trwch y boblogaeth. Dylunwyd yr adeilad gan y pensaer nodedig Robert Weir Schultz a dyma’r unig enghraifft o Anheddfan Prifysgol sydd wedi goroesi yng Nghymru. Ar yr unfed awr ar ddeg, a fyddech mor garedig ag arwyddo ein deiseb sy’n apelio at John Smart i beidio dymchwel, ac adran gynllunio Cyngor Caerdydd a Llywodraeth Cymru i beidio caniatau dinistr yr adeilad unigryw yma.

We want to make sure our children can get to Bowes Southgate Green safely. We have been approached by an increasing number of parents concerned about the lack of a natural crossing point on Wilmer Way. This is a main route onto the A406 North Circular and before and after school there is a high level of traffic. This makes crossing the road difficult and dangerous for parents and children and we have been told about a number of near misses in recent months. We are calling on Enfield Council to put in place a controlled crossing on Wilmer Way to help stop traffic and allow our children to cross safely to Bowes Southgate Green.

FoDDC need to reconsider the lease agreement on the Triangle to continue to allow Cinderford Town Council to maintain it as a community resource at the heart of the town. The original development was funded by Single Regeneration Budget (SRB) money for the community of Cinderford, not as a money making asset for the District Council. Cinderford Town Council have maintained the area and buildings ever since and the area is used by many community groups, local businesses and for weekly markets. The Town Council fears that FoDDC will raise rents to generate income but price out businesses leaving prime retail locations empty in the town. Without income, sale or redevelopment would be options for FoDDC and the community could lose the resource for ever. This could cripple local trade and threaten community events like the Remembrance Day Parade.

The Railway Lake was formed after the extraction of gravel by Tarmac plc in the 1990s and 2000s on land owned by Trinity College, Cambridge. Local people were promised, in order to secure their co-operation, that, after the work was completed, the pit would be converted to a Lake and an area of natural beauty and quiet water for everyone to enjoy. Now Newark and Sherwood District Council want to allow the Lake to be developed and to change its use, to allow sailing, wind-surfing and sporting use on the Lake and development by the side of it. This will involve the erection of buildings, creation of an access road, installation of services and the construction of a septic tank. These facilities already exist nearby on an adjacent Lake, less than a mile away. If allowed, the whole nature of the Railway Lake will be lost for ever. Local people don't want this, but the Council is not listening. Please help us to show that areas of natural beauty in the countryside have a value and need to be preserved for everyone to enjoy.

* A public house has stood on this site since 1753. * It is a community pub, providing food and drink. It is a pub that can be enjoyed by all of the family with its outdoor play area and beer garden and in this respect, it is unique in Chellaston. * It has the potential to become a focal point for the village community. * Chellaston Residents' Association acquired an Asset of Community Value (ACV) for the pub in July 2015 and subsequently Marston's have indicated to the City Council that the pub is up for sale. * A Community group intends to submit a bid for the pub as a going concern.

We need support in our bid to stop a major redevelopment and Save North Street Mews! Developers HighLaw Ltd claim the space is "underused", "isolated" and in need of "enhancing" with expensive townhouses and 'hot-desk' commercial office space. All 21 units have been fully occupied for the last 20 years, allowing careers to be made, families to be supported and a strong community to be built. HighLaw Ltd have made absolutely no offers or assurances to any existing tenants to be included in the future development or to be supported in relocation. They refuse to acknowledge that they will in fact be kicking out 21 small businesses and their staff, leading to numerous potential job losses and adverse affects on their families. The mews is an asset to the local community which will be lost in the prospect of a redevelopment that will serve the interests of profit, those wealthy enough to buy luxury houses, and large companies who can afford commercial desk space. This development is not a done deal - YET! A planning application will be made shortly and we must take urgent action to garner as much support from the local community and beyond to try and stop this process and Save North Street Mews. You can help us by adding your voice to this petition and spreading the word! Please join our Facebook group at facebook.com/wearenorthstreetmews for more information, videos and photos to see what we create at the mews. Thanks from Ali and the whole North Street Mews community!

We are a group of Hackney residents and parents of children at Colvestone Primary School. Without consulting the Education Department, and in the face of 70 objections from local people, Hackney Council’s Planning Committee has approved a development proposal that will significantly overshadow the nursery school next door. More than 30 children every year, and for generations to come, will be robbed of sunlight in the outdoor space of the nursery so that a developer can build “light-filled” private studio flats above the proposed ground floor and basement café. We are outraged by this decision. We expect the Mayor to put the education, health and well-being of the children first. • We have an independent expert review of the proposal which concludes that the building would cause “an increase of three to four times the existing levels of overshadowing” • A local resident, Judith Watt, has launched a legal challenge to the Council’s planning decision • We are urging the Council to act now to enforce historic property covenants that protect sunlight to the school's land. Please, Mayor, do the right thing.

RWE Innogy have submitted a planning application to dam the river Conwy and build a hydro electric power plant. The Afon Conwy is a unique & nationally important river designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest, a famous salmon & sea trout fishery and classic white water kayaking and canoeing resource. The section of the river that will be affected by the dam includes the famous Conwy Falls waterfall a significant visitor attraction and the iconic Fairy Glen. Photo ©Andy Teasdale

Radcliffe Civic Suite is an iconic, historic and architecturally significant building opened by The Prime Minister, Harold Wilson in 1974. Radcliffe Civic Suite is of great significance to the Town and if properly managed, maintained and run could be a profitable and valuable asset well into the future. Radcliffe has suffered more than any town in the metropolitan area from the loss of civic pride, history and identity due to a cycle of decline, cuts, closure and widespread demolition. Plans to replace the suite are potentially years away and may never be realised in the current financial climate. There is more than sufficient land adjacent to the Civic Suite for the proposed housing development without the need for demolition of the Civic suite.

We have less than a week to go, the Orpheus (built 1932) is on death row. There have been so many lovely old buildings demolished in Belfast and Northern Ireland in the name of 'progress'.The developers moved in and they haven't stopped since 1998.

Hackney Council are preparing to close 13 road junctions within the London Fields and Haggeston Wards without having a consultation period for the local residents and businesses who live and work in the area. The proposed road closures will have a major impact on how the local residents and businesses will be able to go about their day to day activities. The traffic will be displaced onto Richmond Road, Lansdowne Drive, Trederwen/Brougham Road, Pownall Road and Brownlow Roads and will impact on the neighbouring wards. Hackney Council together with the Streetscene Department have met with the London Cycle Campaign in Hackney & Living Streets and with two local residents from Middleton Road who were selected by Hackney Councillors and they are responsible of this unacceptable scheme. Hackney Council design and engineering department for Streetscene have prepared draft plan of the roads to be closed off but have not issued the plan for consultation which they agreed to do at the ward meeting in July 2015. The Streetscene department have been discussing the proposed street closures with the Mayor Jules Pipe and the cabinet member Feryal Demirci to move straight into a live trial rather than undertake a leaflet based public consultation. Hackney Streetscene have previously confirmed they would be a 1 month consultation period followed by a 1 month trial period and have now gone back on their word.Hackney Council cannot be trusted.

We have had petitions about Neonicotinoids but the real problem for pollinating insects is that their habitat is vanishing. As a beekeeper, I know that the most painless way to increase their habitat (and that of many other native species) is for Local Councils to stop mowing road verges and instead use the money and manpower so released to plant them and tend them so that they burgeon with a wide mix of native plants, especially flowering plants. This does need a new way of councils thinking and for such things as the Royal Horticultural Society "Britain in Bloom" contest to massively mark up those who do this and massively mark down those who mow every time a daisy appears (just look around Stockton, here in the North East they regularly get RHS awards and mow everything down - disgraceful!) On the approach to Hartlepool on the A689 the local council has allowed someone to do just this. The result is both beautiful and has hummed with insects all year
