• 16-18 year olds should have a say in our future relationship with Europe
    Britain will not leave the EU for at least 2 Years, by which time all these people will be eligible to vote under the current system. The Scottish referendum is a successful precedent. The turnout amongst registered 16-18 year olds in the Scottish referendum was 75%, proving that this age group are motivated and engaged in significant political decisions likely to have a dramatic effect on their future. My daughter is 18 and the referendum has been a constant topic of conversation amongst her school friends over the last few weeks. She voted, but many of her friends, who felt strongly about the issue were powerless to influence the decision because they were not eligible to vote. It is their generation that will feel the effect of this decision more keenly than mine or that of my parents, who have, by all accounts, been the main driving force behind our decision to leave. We should let these well educated and motivated youngsters have a say in the future of their country.

  • House of Lords democratic reform
    Fundamentally, the House of Lords is an undemocratic, unelected body who has the power to scrutinise and delay Bills from the commons. If something can be taken away from the EU referendum, it's that there is a public unease from unelected bodies having influence over national law. It's antiquated and unrepresentative of British wider society.

  • Save Watford Play Services
    This proposal by Watford Borough Council puts access to free, staffed play provision at risk. If the proposal is accepted by the cabinet the current facilities will be removed, the staff made redundant and the Adventure Playgrounds will be replaced with fixed equipment structures. Playwork provision exists to enable children to take reasonable risks in an environment where they feel secure and supported. The Play service in Watford stretches well beyond the physical space of the two adventure playgrounds, having run outreach projects in many local school, parks and housing estates. The staff are well qualified, experienced professionals who work with children to support them to take ownership of space. Many of the local children would not have been successful, remained in school or achieved their potential were it not for the support of the Playworkers across the borough. Some children have grown up using this service and have gone on to manage other services around the country, providing support and care for the next generation. The staff advocate for children's rights as set out in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) which was ratified by the British Government in 1991. Watford's play service provides children from disadvantaged backgrounds- and their families- with space to grow, learn about themselves, learn about the world around them, develop social skills, make new friends and have experiences they simply cannot get from going to a park with their parents. The Watford Adventure Play service offers children the opportunity to get away from home and school, it provides space to engage with nature and play with elements such as fire and water. Loosing this service would have a huge impact on the standard of living for local families, it could force some parents out of work as they may not have access to affordable childcare. It would also lead to children loosing freedom of movement, and freedom of choice, as the current replacement options being offered by Watford Borough Council are services that charge for children to access them, and only cater for those 11 years old and under. Childcare facilities and holiday clubs are not a suitable replacement for an Adventure Playground, and fixed equipment parks (not matter how exciting they are perceived to be by the adults who decide to provide them) make poor substitutes for open access, staffed play provision.

  • Politicians without conflicting interests
    Conflicting interests has no place in politics, when it involves the subjects that vote politicians in, and business within the boundaries of said constituancy. Any political change for business needs to address parliament, and not one single member of parliament. The EU has proven that this has a damaging effect for our Great country and it needs to stop now. Lobbying for benefits by companies need to be transparent and for all to see, no exceptions.

  • Domestic Abuse Ruling For UK
    There are so many different forms of domestic abuse and 1of 3 women suffering from coercive control die at the hand of the offender due to jealousy. So many women are trapped and men are getting smarter leaving no physical marks but emotional and psychological scars daily. These women need the law to protect them and give justice. Recently the law due to EU has really hit them hard and this is needed for women to find freedom once more. It's also ensuring the children will be saved from such conditions and educated that the treatment witnessed is not acceptable nor humane.

  • Environmental and wildlife protection
    It is vital to keep in place already existing laws on the Environment and Wildlife otherwise, it would be a step backwards in the protection of Wildlife and Countryside in Britain. We want to be able to get away from the days when Hurray Henry and his ilk could devastate the entire fabric of the countryside for his so called barbaric pleasure. Ie destruction of habitat, badger baiting, coursing, building on green field sites, etc.
