Homelessness causes suffering, fear desperation and can also lead to long term physical and mental health problems

They say our children deserve a great education but if they are hungry and thirsty during school hours because their dinner money doesnt stretch far, how on earth do they expect our children to focus and concentrate?? They run schemes for primary schools so why ate high schools any different and why should people be discriminated for their income or employment status? Every child matters.

Coventry Council are making the families of disabled children pay £600 a year for transport to and from school. This service used to be free, but now families are being forced to fork out. The wellbeing and education of disabled children is being put at risk. Disabled children should not be punished for going to school.

Type1 diabetes Mellitus insulin dependent is for life and will never go away so why does the Government still insist on making it as difficult and upsetting as possible to make a claim for something our Diabetic children are entitled too.

Care & Disability deserve a place alongside Health and Education as one of the great offices of state. The UN recently described the plight of people with disabilities in Britain as a “human catastrophe”.The Equality and Human Rights Commission says disabled people are second-class citizens. Hit by cuts and a punishing assessment system many people with disabilities are in the fight of their lives. They feel marginalised and humiliated. We need a new approach and the best place to start is at the top. A junior minister in the DWP is the wrong person in the wrong place. Ask party leaders to show their commitment by appointing a Cabinet Minister. Sign the petition.

Despite the precautions taken to prevent animals from accessing these points the netting provisions have failed. Consequently, pigeons have gained access through torn holes and areas were netting has been inadequately installed. The result: Pigeons are getting trapped within the netting and dying appalling and wholly preventable deaths. These deaths occur through multiple routes: namely suffocation, starvation and dehydration. The suffering these animals must experience is unimaginable and is evident by the number of corpses littering the netting around Castle Foregate which raises additional public health concerns as the bodies decompose above our heads. Shrewsbury Town Council & Shropshire County Council please remove or enforce the removal of this uneccassary method of keeping away so called 'pests' : it isn't working and is resulting in unsightly, abhorrent, disturbing scenes in our town.

The issue of homelessness has escalated locally, with an estimated 61, people sleeping rough locally as of October 2016 (roughly 20% of the total estimated rough sleepers in Wales). As a result of the inadequate services available some people have set up an encampment in the grounds of the former Groves school, a listed building. This building is close to residential housing and the camp is of concern to local people who fear that hygiene and safety practices are compromised. The individuals living on the site and elsewhere in Wrexham are in desperate need of a long term solution. In the short term there needs to be regular emptying of the skip and portaloo that the council have provided and access to the site in the event of an emergency. There are many groups and individuals in the area taking an interest in this issue and it is only fair that they are all able to hear the council's response to these issues in the interest of openess and transparency as should be expected from our elected representatives.

As, Carers are the lowest paid in society and do it to look after their loved ones its putting an impact on Carers financially,which is forceing them to work or deter them from claiming Carers Allowance. Putting a strain on Social Services, Health providers and the NHS. As Caring for a relative on a low income is financially constraining with DWP rulings affecting other income. A review needs to be looked into classing Carers Allowance as a income.

We are getting on average one major accident a month, the latest today and only four weeks or so a young chap on a motorcycle was airlifted to the QMC . Do we really have to wait until someone dies before we do something? The speed limit on the A6 between Derby and Buxton is 50 mph, we are only a b road.

Reducing the amount of rubbish that goes to landfill and encouraging recycling is in everyone's interest. We should be looking after the environment for future generations. If Windsor and Maidenhead can do it, why can't Wokingham? People should be encouraged to recycle. The facilities are available to recycle these products and Wokingham Borough Council has a moral responsibility to enable people to recycle as much as possible.

A decision will be taken this week on whether a "lifeline" service for hundreds of armed forces veterans will be forced to close its Grampian base. Eight Veterans First Point centres were set up in Scotland using cash from the UK government's Libor fund. But that money is running out and local health boards are now covering costs - with help from the Scottish government. NHS Grampian has now said it is unable to continue to fund the service. Veterans first point is a NHS run service to help veterans. It enables veterans to get help quickly for all sorts of problems, but mental health is the biggest. Without it veterans can be waiting over 12 months for help by which far to many will have committed suicide. These veterans have served you it is time you served them.

Villa Road and Hunters Road are being used as a dumping ground for illegal fly tippers, and as a race track for speeding vehicles. Pavements are impossible to use because of inconsiderate parking. Anti social behaviour has increased since the part sale of the council owned carpark in 2014. This is having a direct impact on local businesses and people living within.
