The nursing advisory unit, advises the Government on health policies and how they will affect nursing and nurses, allied health professionals and ultimately the health of the country. Nurses are the largest workforce in the UK and if they close this unit, it means that effectively nurses voices will not be heard within the department of health and they will get their information from lobbyists and private health care companies. The nursing posts that will go are nurses who advocate on behalf of those with mental health and learning disabilities, some of of our most vulnerable members of society. The Royal College of Nurses voted to ask their council to lobby Jeremy Hunt to keep the unit. I would ask you to join the campaign.

Barbecues on London Fields have been trialled for several years and were approved again for 2017. Barbecues are banned in most of the parks of London on safety and health grounds. It is the only park in Hackney where the Council overlooks their own strict bye-laws banning fires in parks. As a result, London Fields is now popularised through social media to the point that on a sunny summer weekend it attracts thousands of visitors and tourists from all across London and beyond. The smoke from BBQs and fires makes it impossible for residents neighbouring the park to open their windows on hot summer days. Depending on the wind, dense smoke carries across the park in different directions - into houses and flats, up to the Lido or across the children's playgrounds. The smoke is unpleasant and represents a significant pollution risk, especially for people with breathing difficulties. A highly toxic particle known as PM2.5 is released into the atmosphere when burning barbecues. There is no safe level of PM2.5 and it can: * suppress lung function in children * cause heart disease and strokes * cause and aggravate asthma * cause lung cancer [Source: "Every Breath We Take", RCP / RCPCH pub. Feb 2016] In the summer of 2105 an investigation by King's College London pollution team showed toxic PM2.5 air pollution levels during barbecues on Highbury Fields, Islington, to be up to 3 times the kerbside levels at one of London's busiest roads in Marylebone. In 2013 a study involving 312,944 people in nine European countries revealed there was no safe level of particulates. Hackney Council has an air pollution plan (http://www.hackney.gov.uk/air-pollution) and an air quality action plan (http://www.hackney.gov.uk/air-quality-action-plan) - and does nothing to stop toxic smoke over children's play areas in the Fields. Anti-social behaviour is an ever-present worry with small groups staying in the park overnight. Mounds of litter are left behind, overflowing the many extra bins provided. On Sundays and Mondays, parts of the park are unusable by local residents until clear-ups are undertaken, bins are left on fire and discarded food attracts rats. Every summer this costs Hackney council-tax payers a potential £80,000 or more in extra bins, refuse disposal, signs, security and damage repairs to the park. According to an FOI request, £57,000 alone is paying for a security firm to watch just the BBQ area all summer long*. To put this in perspective - if the park charged 800 visitors every week for the whole summer £5 to BBQ (15 weekends) it would only raise £60,000 - and not cover those costs. And the security is there only on weekends - and BBQs are lit every day during the summer. London Fields is a small park. It just cannot sustain this pressure on such a tiny piece of land. It is time to call an end to a failed experiment and treat London Fields like any other Hackney Park – a green space which visitors should respect and use with care. Local people should not have to dread sunny weekends. And what if there were no barbecues? Well, they are no real loss to anyone; *picnics* are rather similar in nature but much less annoying and polluting - and they are fun, cheaper, eco-friendly, no smoke, no fire, less mess (except perhaps for egg sandwiches) and they can be eaten anywhere, in any park, in any neighbourhood, not just a tiny, barren corner of London Fields. So please sign this petition and share with your friends on Facebook, Twitter and email - and in the street - to ask the Mayor and Hackney Council to end this abuse of the Fields. * Hackney Council claim the security is for the whole of the park; this is not what the security staff say - or do.

The referendum was called purely as a sop to various conservative members of parliament and their voters, who hinted they would join UKIP. It has cost the country a huge amount of money, time and energy for what is in effect an internal party problem. The government and its supporters are now split in a most acrimonious way, and can not pretend to be a functioning government. After the results are announced, whichever way they fall, there will be in-fighting within this party of government and a lack of concentration on the needs of the nation. They will have a large percentage of the population seriously disgruntled with what result there is. We, the people, must demand a fresh government, through a democratic election, and not through various internal oustings of existing holders of office.

During the current referendum campaign, there has been a serious lack of balance in the popular press. Certain papers, notably the Mail, Express and Sun have deliberately mislead a significant proportion of the voting public by printing articles containing what have been proved to be lies, or at best, misrepresentation of the truth.

Dominic Peacock is meant to be representing the public, yet how can the public respect him when he has such blatant disregard for Jo, her grieving family and the hundreds of people who loved and admired her. Jo Cox was what every MP should be: brave, kind, decent and a true humanitarian. Dominic Peacock is the total opposite and really lives up to the latter half of his surname. In one stupid tweet he has demonstrated everything that's wrong with politicians today: there are far too few MPs like Jo Cox and way too many Dominic Peacocks - devoid of compassion and empathy, with massive egos and a total lack of common sense. I for one do not want such a pathetic excuse for a man continuing to serve the public, a role he clearly has no aptitude for and does not deserve.

The Second World War is an important event in human history, it's still recent and the implications and suffering from it are still unfolding. It's something we need to teach our children about, helping them to understand the consequences of hatred and giving power to groups motivated by racism. This 'game' was not designed for educational purposes but is a shameful exploitation of the suffering of millions. It should be shut down immediately, and Google should have an open policy on the development and sale of such 'games'. Genocide is not a game.

So that MPs are not cushioned from the effects of their decisions ,so they fully understand the problems of low income citizens not just in theory but in direct practice,to give them an practical incentive to improve the lives of the UK.s lowpaid worker, to eliminate careerist /opportunist MPs from our Parliament(I.e those who enter parliament for selfish monetary motives ,or as a stepping stone to careers in the media ,business or the eurocracy),to end the divide between the political elite and the working class of people which is so corrosive to our society,and which leaves the way for unscrupulous demagogues, non democratic ideologists,etc to flourish.,and in many countries has led to extreme political violence. Such a measure would purge our parliament of the selfish

The government recently introduced the Living Wage, which was long overdue. Employers have been slow and reluctant to adopt the living wage, and some, like Samworth Brothers, are guilty of trying to offset the increased costs involved by sneakily cutting other employee benefits, such as paid breaks, and anti-social hours payments. Employees like Kumaran, who has been a loyal Samworth Brothers employee for 12 years, should not be forced to shoulder the cost of introducing the living wage, and should not have to be afraid of losing their jobs if they stand up for their rights by joining a union.

The station is a main link for our community and at the present time cannot be accessed freely by people with children in prams and wheelchair bound. The nearest station with these facilities is Eastleigh where you have to change trains to get you back to the right side of Hedge End Station. Which involves time and hassle.

I have been emailing for over a year about the large volume of traffic using Kinsale Road as a cut through and the extreme speed that they drive, without any response. Not only is there a large volume of cars but it is also used by large vehicles, vans and delivery drivers who drive fast and aggressively. Not a week goes by that myself or a neighbour doesn't witness road rage on our road. There is currently a new primary school, with capacity for in excess of 271 children, being built at the end of our road. We have heard no plans for traffic calming or how the increased traffic caused by the school will be managed. On the 19th June a car was driving so fast down our road that he crashed and has written off 3 cars and damaged a fourth. He hit one parked car with such force that it moved the car parked behind it, with its hand brake on, over 10 metres backwards! If he had hit any of our residents rather than a car the result would have been fatal. My son was in our car the day before, at the same time of day, helping me to clean it. If we had been in the car when the accident happened only 24 hours later I dread to think what would have happened to us. Sadly this accident didn't come as a surprise to anyone living on our road. This is a tightly knit community with over 20 young children living on the road. I urge you to take action before something terrible happens. Our children have the right to cycle to school safely and to be free to cross the road to play at their friends houses, without fear of speeding traffic.

There are concerns that advanced treatment technologies may not be adequate to deal with the levels of dissolved solids in produced water, limiting the ability to treat it on site. A spokesperson from Greenpeace Science Unit states that releasing huge quantities of water loaded with large quantities of metals, radioactivity and chemical components into marine environments is a retrograde step. Campaigners have voiced concerns about the problems, such as earth tremors, caused by the actual fracking process but there has been less focus upon the problems caused by waste water.

It is not true that there is no objective information about the EU referendum. There are many objective and neutral studies which show the real complexity of the issue. Even now, when both sides of the referendum are apparently trying to have a sensible debate in the wake of the killing of Jo Cox MP, the important details are not being explained to the electorate. Please watch this video for an example of the complexity that has been lost in this debate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USTypBKEd8Y&feature=share
