• Allow for p.e kit in hot weather in schools
    My child struggles with sensory but she isnt the only that struggles with week.  Tights have always been a struggle and yet i pushed for her to fit into the struggle to meet school policy which is tights to be worn at a minimum of 40+ denier but in extreme heat how can this be fair?  I'm very aware most young girls pull skirts up and was happy to enforce this struggle but why cant they wear p.e kits when it comes to extreme weather conditions.  I find it ludicris children are being refused to wear shorts in such weathers especially when parents only option is to keep them home an expect fines, this leads me to believe there must be reasons? But what is the reason?  They are not working with tarmac or fire pits in school and nylon tights would not save skin even if this was the case. What can possibly be the reason to it? Honestly I find it a worry there has been no explaniation behind it other than it's policy. I am sure I'm not the only parent given the local chats this week.  No child can be expected to focus or store information in such extreme weather conditions so again i ask what is the reason behind this?

  • A ban on wearing shorts and t-shirts on a motorcycle
    All over the country, I am sick of seeing motorcyclists, young and older people, just wearing shorts and t-shirts. Too many riders are taking it for granted that they are infallible. Making protective gear a legal requirement will help stop gravel rash and bones being ground away.

  • Mandate Universal Baseline Screening for Bartonella Henselae Across All Medical Fields
    The "Stealth" Pathogen Argument: Bartonella henselae mimics dozens of automated autoimmune, neurological, and psychiatric conditions, making full-spectrum screening necessary to rule it out. • The "Stealth" Pathogen Argument: Bartonella henselae mimics dozens of automated autoimmune, neurological, and psychiatric conditions, making full-spectrum screening necessary to rule it out. • Economic Benefit: Universal upfront screening prevents years of expensive, incorrect treatments for misdiagnosed conditions. • Advanced Testing Availability: Modern PCR and specialized multi-species testing make wide-scale screening more viable than older culture method Because Bartonella perfectly duplicates the physical presentation, laboratory markers, and imaging results of these other illnesses, clinicians will naturally diagnose the more common or prominent condition first. The primary factors driving this incredibly high potential for misdiagnosis across all these conditions include: 1. High Diagnostic Failure Rates (The Testing Gap) Standard diagnostic tools routinely miss active Bartonella infections, leading doctors to rule out an infectious cause prematurely:  • Serology Limitations: Standard blood antibody tests (ELISA and IFA) have highly variable sensitivities, regularly dropping below 70%. In chronic or atypical presentations, patients frequently test completely negative for antibodies while still harboring the bacteria in their blood or tissue. • Elusive Microbe: Bartonella henselae is a fastidious, slow-growing, intracellular bacterium. It hides inside red blood cells and endothelial linings, making it virtually impossible to catch on standard blood cultures. 2. Pathological Mirroring (The Imaging Trap) Bartonella does not just mimic symptoms; it physically alters tissue in ways that mimic other chronic diseases: • Granulomas: It triggers the formation of necrotizing granulomas, which a pathologist looking at a biopsy can easily mistake for Tuberculosis or Sarcoidosis.  • Angiogenesis: It forces the body to rapidly grow abnormal new blood vessels. On an MRI or a skin biopsy, this cellular proliferation is incredibly difficult to differentiate from vascular cancers like Kaposi Sarcoma.  • Lymph Node Mimicry: On PET scans and CT imaging, Bartonella-induced lymphadenopathy shows the exact same metabolic hyperactivity and structural swelling as active Lymphoma or Leukemia relapses. 3. Neurological Overlap Because the bacteria can cross the blood-brain barrier and cause severe localized inflammation, the resulting nerve degradation and cognitive dysfunction are structurally identical to Multiple Sclerosis (MS) or ALS. Without specialized testing (like advanced PCR or metagenomic sequencing), there is no clinical way to distinguish the symptoms from a primary neurodegenerative disease

  • Bring down electricity prices now
    Achieving this will be of immense benefit to every aspect of our economy, helping every household and business, and will massively boost UK growth. Electricity is fundamental to our lives, yet successive governments over decades have been prepared to accept that we pay some of the highest prices in Europe. This is a fundamental failing of our governments and shows a complete lack of strategic thinking. Lower energy prices are necessary if the UK is to take advantage of technologies like AI. It is necessary if we are to move off of gas to help tackle climate change, and it is necessary if we want to reduce the benefits bill (for example, the winter fuel allowance should not be needed if electricity is affordable). There are many other benefits that would arise from lower energy costs. If other countries can gain these benefits, then why can’t we?

  • Fair fairs for North Herts: Bring TfL to Hitchin, Stevenage & St Albans
    It uses existing tracks, and Hitchin is closer to London than Reading — which already has these fares. Sadiq Khan lives on the route, so he knows how unfair high prices are. This will make travel cheaper, fairer and easier for everyone. Right now fares are too high and unfair — we pay more than places further away. Cheaper travel helps families, workers and local businesses. We deserve the same fair deal as everyone else on the TfL network.

  • Remember the People of Storthes Hall Hospital.
    This could be a memorial garden, plaque, bench, information board, or named green space acknowledging the history of Storthes Hall Hospital and the people connected to it, including former patients, staff, families, and those buried nearby at Thurstonland. This is not a request to stop redevelopment. It is simply a request that the history of the site and the people who lived, worked, suffered, recovered, died, or were laid to rest in connection with Storthes Hall are not forgotten. Storthes Hall is not just an old site or another redevelopment project to me. I have personal memories of spending time there and visiting with my nana for outpatient appointments. Because of that, the place has always felt like more than just abandoned buildings or land waiting to be built on. Storthes Hall was once a major hospital site with a long and difficult history. Over many years it was connected to thousands of patients, families, nurses, doctors, support staff and local people. Some people recovered there, some worked there, some visited loved ones there, and some sadly never came home. There is also the wider history of people associated with Storthes Hall being buried nearby at Thurstonland, many with little public recognition. Whatever people think about the old hospital system, those individuals still deserve dignity and remembrance. This petition is not about stopping new homes or standing in the way of redevelopment. It is simply asking for a respectful acknowledgement of the history of Storthes Hall and the people connected to it. I do not want to decide what any memorial should look like alone. Ideally, it should be shaped by people with direct connections to Storthes Hall, including former staff, families, local history groups and the wider community. A memorial garden, plaque, bench, information board, or named green space would be a small but meaningful way to make sure those people are not forgotten.

  • Copse Cross St: Road safety petition
    We've had enough of drivers thinking its ok to mount the pavement (big no) then DRIVE ALONG the pavement (HUGE no). We’ve also had enough of drivers speeding down Copse Cross Street towards the High Street - it's dangerous, arrogant, idiotic and quite frankly extremely frustrating. It takes seconds for a child to run out the door of a shop - which I know all too well as a parent of three little ones whom are naturally naïve to the dangers that come with speeding and mounting pavements. Not only is this actually dangerous for children, for customers of our business and the shops and restaurants around us, but also for anybody who dares to walk up the Hidden High Street - young or old. In fact, we've spoken to multiple people who will purposely walk around the back of the Hidden High Street and across the beautiful St Marys Gardens because they don't like walking along this section of the High Street. As business owners, we are continually losing trade because it's not an enticing street for footfall. People walk with their head down to watch their footing or are staring at the cars to make sure they are safe. All we're asking is for the council to put in some road safety measures - like signage, traffic calming, and wider pavements - to make this road safer for all of us.

  • Shopwyke Residents Want Their Community Spaces Back
    We are a group of residents who feel the same frustration about our facilities. We know that a great many people feel the same and we want to join our voices together to be heard. We love this community and know that we deserve better. Shopwyke Lakes was developed with two community spaces (The Pavilion & the Community Centre) designed for residents for community use such as activities, clubs, parties & gatherings.  The spaces were intended to help Shopwyke to grow and to reflect the vibrant place that it is. We residents call on CCDT to work for the community in delivering these spaces as they were intended, and that we see at similar developments up and down the country, including the CCDT managed spaces at Graylingwell and Roussilon Park. We ask CCDT to provide evidence of consultation with residents before they occupied the Community Centre with The Bike Project and we ask them to outline how the permission granted to alter The Pavilion with an internal wall (halving the internal space) responded to the findings of the Thinking Day, and why residents can't hire out what is left of the space in the late afternoon/evening during the week. Shopwyke is a vibrant, close knit community of residents, the fact that we can't host any of our community events in either of our 2 community centres (such as our annual Christmas Carols) clearly demonstrates that these spaces are not presently community centres.

  • It's time to tax the super-rich
    At a time when so many people are struggling with the cost of living, it is only fair that those with the greatest wealth contribute more. A tax on the super-rich would help fund the public services and investment our communities need while reducing extreme inequality. Everyone should pay their fair share, and those with the broadest shoulders are best placed to contribute the most.
