• Diabetic Fairness
    I am a type 2 diabetic just been put on insulin very scary, after 4 days of blood testing sticking my fingers with needles 3 times more than I used to before insulin my fingers are very painful I am also on blood thinners which in turn makes it very difficult to stem the flow of the blood, I am now thinking this is for the rest of my life I need help this is barbaric and medieval this day and age sticking needles in your fingers any thing up to 8 times a day it is torture. So I searched the internet looking for some help and the only thing I could find was the LIBRE blood testing system where you do not have to stick needles into your fingers, as I read up on this system it explained how you put a censor in the top of your arm every 14 days and you can read your blood sugars via your mobile phone or the small electronic unit they supply. To my amazement as I read on that they do supply this system on NHS prescriptions I thought great what a savior, then I read on further they only give it to type 1 diabetics why I ask the illness is the same the treatment is the same there is no difference only the medical reason each individual was given as to why they are diabetic our treatment is exactly the same, we both inject and test our bloods up to 8 times a day, so please could you make this system available to type 2 diabetics on insulin.

  • PUT CAMERAS INSIDE TAXIS FOR PASSENGERS SAFETY
    Because we ALL want to feel safe using a taxi. This is already required in Southampton taxis and with rule changes already planned for 2023 regarding the future of Winchester taxis, I believe this requirement should be included. After a lady who was picked up outside the Broadway in Winchester at 1am, September 2017 was sexually assaulted by her taxi driver I for one have felt incredibly uncomfortable using taxis alone in the early hours. I never used to feel like this and its not fair that we are forced into inappropriate conversation.. drivers going the wrong way intentionally... being questioned on my age, if I'm single... Because let's be honest, we have all experienced this at some point. Please help get this enforced so that we can feel safer on our ride home, knowing the person driving is the person who's 'MEANT' to be driving, not their friend or family member... knowing the whole journey is recorded for our safety. Its a small thing but can make a massive difference to safety! There are already cameras on trains and busses so why not enforce it for this method of public transport too? Thanks for your help and please remember to share 😊

  • BANES Council: Support the Climate & Ecological Emergency Bill
    The UK Government’s target is to be carbon neutral by 2050. But this is too late, because the world is set to exceed the dangerous limit of 1.5°C warming by 2040, causing irreversible harm and costing millions of lives. In fact, Government advisers say the UK is not on track to meet its own target. The CEE Bill would ensure the Government takes action to reduce carbon emissions now, and counts emissions from aviation, shipping and international trade for the first time. It would also ensure it does not rely on unproven technologies such as carbon capture and geoengineering in its calculations. It would protect UK biodiversity and ecosystems and ensure companies and individuals are held responsible for environmental damage in the UK and overseas. A Citizens’ Assembly would be set up to advise on the Government’s emergency strategy.

  • Make Dominion Road in Worthing safer for pedestrians and cyclists
    This stretch of road incorporates 2 primary schools and a high school, not to mention the other schools in the local area which are connected by dominion road. Our aim is to show the council that basic road measures could make a big difference. For example a crossing on dominion rd/ way junction and one at the Southdown/Angola road junction. A cycle lane would improve children's safety when riding to school and decrease traffic as well as improving air quality.

  • 1% payrise for NHS is not good enough!
    NHS workers and staff deserve a proper pay rise. The government saying that 1% pay rise is enough is quite insulting, as the staff work hard during this pandemic to protect and care for patients, therefore it is unacceptable and may be the last straw for many employees. It is about time that a decent deal is made for NHS staff that is fair, necessary and affordable. It is time for Britain to speak up for NHS to put pressure on decision makers to approve of additional investment in health services and funding for a significant pay rise.
