Nuclear waste is potentially the most toxic life threatening ,longest lasting waste that exists. Wirral is overall relatively a densley populated peninsular.

The establishments threatened have long proven to be a hub of creativity and independent entrepreneurial talent, supporting both artists and creative endeavours which in return attracts valuable assets such as investors, students and visitors interested in our city. These local businesses and retailers are an important part of our economy, character and identity. The eradication of these cherished and unique aspects to our landscape would be a crisis both economically and culturally. For example, Rare and Racy are one of the few independent traders in Sheffield left who support local and national underground record labels, publishers, magazines ect. Syd and Mallory's are a highly respected grassroots Sheffield designer emporium, whose countless achievements include national fashion shows, training of future designers and most recently they have been commissioned to design the costumes for the critically acclaimed 'This is England' series. The eradication of these cherished and unique aspects to our landscape would be a crisis both economically and culturally.

Developers are submitting speculative applications to build in locations not earmarked within Local Plans, drawn up after consultation by Local, District and County councils. Section 49 requires planning authorities to grant those applications, even though they do not wish the development to take place, as there is a presumption in favour of the developer, particularly when the local plan remains unadopted. This will result in homes being built not in accordance with the wishes of local people but wherever speculators can make a quick profit. It will damage our countryside, and our towns.

Lancashire Day was recently on the agenda at a Bolton Council Meeting with a request to reintroduce Lancashire to road signs and street furniture. This was quickly dismissed by the council leader, Cliff Morris with the response of "I wish you would get over it", he told Cllr John Walsh. "Bolton has been part of Greater Manchester for 30 years." This is not what the people of Bolton want to hear with an overwhelming 97% in favour of ending their association with Greater Manchester and restoring Bolton's Lancashire heritage.

There is clearly a need for houses to be built, but locations can be more sensitively chosen based on areas that are not in active use. The Government's initiative for backing more houses to be built is completely necessary, but surely it's more appropriate to use brown barren sites than it is to use football pitches for the purpose of building 62 new dwellings. The field known as Oakfield Rec just from Bilton Road exists in an already built-up area and is cherished by a fair amount of people. Logic dictates that it is cherished is for precisely that reason - it's green land in a built up area which a rare commodity in an area that is otherwise concrete. Not only is it green land, but it's actively used green land. Oakfield Rec is regularly in use by dog-walkers, joggers running around the football pitch, families holding picnics, people performing yoga. There's regular local Sunday League football matches played there, and people using the goals for training and Dads kicking a football around with their kids in the only publicly accessible open space around for half a mile. The Government are currently promoting a Change 4 Life program right now. Eat Well, MOVE MORE, Live Longer is the strap-line they are using, but how can that be in keeping with replacing green grass land that is actively in use for sporting and leisure purposes with even more bricks and mortar? There is no other green land within half a mile of the site of the proposed building works. This may not be a problem for many, but for folk who experience mobility difficulties a seemingly simple task such as walking the dog may now become a real problem. Yes, there is a lack of housing, but there's no lack of unoccupied homes in the UK. According to Council Tax statistics, in October 2013, 24445 properties were deemed 'long term empty' in the West Midlands. Building more houses isn't the only answer to the problem! Source: http://www.emptyhomes.com/statistics-2/empty-homes-statistice-201112/ The primary school closest to the proposed site has recently taken 35 children into its reception year, when it's recognised that the maximum should be 30. If we are going to hinder our children with over-populated classrooms then is this not a self-defeating action? Should we not be nurturing and developing our own children to be the best that they can be right from the moment they enter school at reception level? Surely we want our children's classrooms to not be overcrowded, and for them to receive the appropriate level of teacher assisted time? For the record, the primary school employed an extra teacher to handle the extra pupils, but if over-subscription remains a problem in the future (and this new build would increase the chances of that being the case) then they're going to need to be creative with how they handle that. Can they afford a new teacher for every academic year for example? With the cuts being made, it seems highly unlikely. This proposed new build clearly causes more problems than it solves and there are alternative measures that should be explored before turning the limited amount of inner town green space into yet more concrete. I urge the Co-Operative to reconsider this development, and to please lease the land back to the Council as has been the case historically.

Save our Stanah represents a group of local residents who have come together to object to plans to build up to 901 houses on Lambs Hill, Thornton. The land is classed as countryside land, and has agricultural value. It is not allocated in the Local Plan for development. It is Government policy to prioritise brownfield sites over greenfield. Should this application be passed, development in the area will be developer led, rather than plan led. The land is in a highly unsustainable location. Lambs Hill Road, Skippool Road and the A585 Poulton roundabout are a notorious bottleneck and pinch point for traffic. There are widespread traffic problems throughout the area, and no alternative routes out of Thornton for commuters. This has a highly negative impact on local businesses and investment. The land is adjacent to the Green Flag award winning Wyre Estuary Country Park. The Wyre Estuary is an internationally and nationally protected SSI and SPA site and as such should be protected and enhanced. It is a hugely popular tourist attraction and home to many protected native species. The immediate local countryside area should be positively conserved and championed in order to promote local ecology and nature interests. As residents, we highly value the rural nature of the local area, in particular the wide ranging beautiful views across the countryside to the Estuary and to the Bowland Fells. We highly value the scenery and rural aspect of our views and believe that this should be cherished and preserved for future generations. We the undersigned, as members of Save our Stanah, wish Wyre Borough Council to take account of our views and reject the Lambs Hill planning application. As a group, we hope to be able to increase the level of consultation between the Council and the local community regarding development of Thornton in the future.

We need these grounds Grade 2 Listing to ensure their protection from any future work programs.

Because more than 20 families are about to be made homeless with nowhere to go. These are mainly nurses and people who work in schools and local care services and are on modest incomes. Most have paid their rent and lived in their perfectly good homes for years. They are receiving no assistance from the Mayor in finding new homes. Because of local rental costs, most will have to move away and remove their children from local schools. This is social housing controlled by the Mayor that should be preserved: not destroyed in favour of high price luxury housing! See BBC report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-29574993

Any route of a new road will be hugely damaging to the environment, cutting through farmland and ancient woodland, or damaging Binsted village and part of Walberton. This is countryside that has been labelled too precious to lose by previous government. The road will cause more pollution and it will also cause new congestion - it has been proved that new roads bring more traffic. We believe that local people would prefer the traffic problems here to be solved by other means which are achievable and would provide an acceptable compromise.

KEEP OUR VILLAGE A VILLAGE. PLEASE DO NOT BUILD ON ALL THE BEAUTIFUL FIELDS SURROUNDING OUR VILLAGE. PLEASE KEEP THE LAND SAFE AND PROTECTED FOR THE FUTURE GENERATIONS OK KNOWSLEY RESIDENTS TO APPRECIATE. Why is this important? What it would mean to the local community:  The loss of a tremendous amount of Greenbelt and farmland.  The loss of wildlife in the woodlands.  The loss of valuable open spaces.  Disruption of pathways.  Loss of natural break from the other nearby communities, creating an ugly urban sprawl.  An over capacity for local schools and doctors.  Heavy traffic on local roads which are not suitable for the amount of housing proposed. They are already heavily used and always in a poor state of repair.  More excessive housing would increase the carbon footprint.  The village would lose its heritage.  According to National surveys Knowsley is already the 10th Unhealthiest place to live in the country! Knowsley  Keep Knowsley Cleaner, Safer and Greener. We urge the council not to consider building on the Greenbelt or farmland, but to utilise many of the other concrete areas within Knowsley. These would more than meet the current housing demand.

'The old Hereford Working Boys Home in Bath Street which gives so much visual identity to the area includes the work of three of Hereford’s most characteristic Victorian architects – George Haddon, who designed the original building, William Cheiake, who more than doubled the size of the establishment in 1885-6, and George Godsell, who made later additions including the ‘Meadows Memorial Hall’, the most recent use of which was as the local register office. The Working Boys Home was opened in 1877 for ‘orphans and other voluntary cases of boys from 9 to 14 years of age in a state of destitution, or growing up uncared for, under evil influences’. The boys were cared for, trained, and where possibly placed with employers. They were paid for their work and Post Office savings accounts were opened for each boy. In 1891 there were 109 boys aged between 9 and 15. Of these only thirteen came from Herefordshire, the rest came from all over the country, the largest number, 29 being from London. By 1904 there was accommodation for 400 boys. The Home closed in May 1933 & buildings sold to Herefordshire Council
