    Many healthcare workers have been at risk, and a a number have also sadly lost their lives. It is important that we continue to protect our NHS workers so that we can fulfill our roles sufficiently.

  • Newhaven SKATEPARK Coping removal
    So today we found out by luck that all the COPING in NEWHAVEN Skatepark is being removed and going to just be concrete sadly this has been decided without any input form the Skateboarders,Scooters,Bmx riders. A Man from the council that has never skated before has decided that the coping will go rusty and need replacing every 10 years. Without coping the skate-park will not be the same, also all metal on the grind boxes are being removed. We had no idea this was happening to the skatepark, can anyone tag me in who I need to speak to in the Council. This would not even be an option at the Level in Brighton or Eastborne or Lewes. How is this going to happen without input of the daily skatepark users. Many thanks. Morgan Smith OWNER OF SURF N SKATE NEWHAVEN Lewes District Council Cllr James MacCleary Clark & Kent Contractors Ltd

  • Recycle Food Waste in Plymouth
    "As the population continues to increase and more pressure is placed on global food production, we have not just a moral obligation but an absolute need to address the issue of food waste" - Global initiative 'Vision 2020' First and foremost, let's look at the consequences of food waste going to landfill. According to food sharing service "Olio", in the UK the average family throws away 22% of their weekly shop, which is worth £730 per year. It takes a land mass larger than China to grow the food each year that is ultimately never eaten – land that has been deforested, species that have been driven to extinction, indigenous populations that have been moved, soil that has been degraded – all to produce food that we then just throw away. In addition, food that is never eaten accounts for 25% of all fresh water consumption globally. Not only are all of the resources that went into creating the uneaten food wasted (land, water, labour, energy, manufacturing, packaging, etc), but when food waste goes to landfill, which is where the vast majority of it ends up, it decomposes without access to oxygen and creates methane, which is 23x more deadly than carbon dioxide. Finally, and most frankly, Plymouth lags the rest of South Devon. It is truly embarrassing that a city as significant in size and population as Plymouth, can appear so apathetic towards the planet's environmental issues. Just look at Teignbridge, collecting food waste from cities, towns and villages. It might seem to some that it is too late or too early to make a change, but it is not too late to at least try.

  • Wildflowers on St Leonards Road, Surbiton
    The north side of St Leonards Road has no pavement but numerous patches of vegetation that are left unattended. This makes the area look somewhat shabby and unattractive. Encouraging wildflower growth here would add some much needed colour, stimulate nature and foster a sense of community pride. I have been in contact with one of the local councillors about this intiative, and received the following response: "We do have a bit of work planned over the winter to identify locations where we could relax mowing regimes to allow longer grass to grow. Once we’ve identified the area then there will need to be discussions with ward cllrs and residents about the plans and the implications (we do need to consider safety, sightlines, crossing points etc). Any preparation would then be done in the spring in advance of the next growing season. It won’t necessarily be that we can sow pictorial meadow grass everywhere as this is actually quite high maintenance, although we have already done that in a couple of locations where residents have shown an interest in getting involved." If you feel as I do that St Leonard's Road has been neglected for too long, by putting your name to this initiative we can encourage the council to take action that will add colour and vibrancy to the area.

  • Ban dog walking through stapenhill cemetery
    In recent years dog fouling at Stapenhill Cementary has been taking place on a regular basis. Dog fouling does not only present a significant public health risk but it is also against the law. Perhaps more significantly, the repeated acts of dog fouling at Stapenhill Cemetery causes visitors immense upset, anxiety and ultimately anger when witnessing dog faeces near or even on the graves of their loved ones. These feelings are exacerbated when having clear up the dog mess themselves as it is occurring on such a regular basis. Repeated complaints have been made over the years to East Staffordshire Borough Council, as well as directly to Councillors themselves regarding repeated dog fouling and law breaking which have yielded no results - the dog fouling continues as does therefore pain and anguish for visitors. Throughout the Council continue to charge families thousands of pounds for the 'privilege' of laying their loved ones to rest at the cemetery yet the Council have failed in their duty to enforce the law. It is on this basis that we, the visitors and stakeholders of Stapenhill Cemetery have lost all confidence in the Council's ability to uphold the law and have decided to take action to preserve the dignity of our loved ones that have been laid to rest. We are seeking support from you in this petition to convince the Council to ban dog walking at the cemetery. You may ask "what about the rights of law abiding dog walkers who will be punished due to the act of a few?" We say there are other amenities available for law abiding dog walkers (such as Stapenhill Park which is only 10 mins walk away from the cemetery according to Google maps). Those of you who may think "this does not affect me why should I bother?". Those same words are often reflected upon by visitors who have laid their loved ones to rest at the cemetery. Please support us by placing your details below. This petition will be placed before councillors at East Staffordshire County Council

  • Is it time to bring in a Universal Basic Income?
    The welfare benefits system has historically been riddled with problems, but more so over recent years. How many more people need to suffer before we realise that it is an unjust, complicated system which punishes the most vulnerable in society, and that the tough sanctions contribute to the escalation of mental and physical health problems, and ultimately to death in the most severe cases? A universal basic income would alleviate these issues, and could have the added bonus of providing a solid foundation on which more people might be financially able to start up their own creative industries. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/aug/10/our-generations-nhs-support-grows-for-universal-basic-income?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/may/03/universal-basic-income-coronavirus-shocks?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

  • Stop our council funding climate change.
    a) fossil fuel companies are driving the climate crisis. It is morally unacceptable that public money should be invested in them b) divestment sends a clear message to governments and to the companies themselves that fossil fuels will no longer be allowed to continue polluting our world and destroying the health and environment of all its peoples c) divestment would protect the fund from the well-documented risk of falling share value.

  • Oppose the proposed 24 hour Filling Station in Cressington
    For the residents in the area immediately around the site this is going to be extremely disruptive. A 24 hour filling station in a residential area creating more traffic, more pollution and more congestion at busy times. It is unnecessary as there are already two other petrol stations within a mile of this site, one of which is already 24 hour. This Filling Station will not generate many jobs as it will be largely unmanned.
