Prisons have suffered severe cuts in funding which has resulted in prisoners suffering mentally. As you may be aware, re-offending rate has been higher than ever with 60% of prisoners re-offending. With lack of support due to cuts, can you blame them? By signing a petition, you make the government aware of this rising epidemic to all prisoners. Improving the mental health of prisoners is a difficult and complex task, but it is an essential step to reducing re-offending and ensuring that those who are released from prison can rebuild their lives in the community. Despite this, Government’s efforts to improve the mental health of those in prison so far have been poorly co-ordinated, and information is still not shared across the organisations involved, and not even between community and prison GP services. We want to help the inmates feel like they can reform and that society is supporting them in this. We all have a responsibility to help them because we are all affected when prisoners reoffend on their release.

An increase in Nuclear waste dumping could be catastrophic for Scotland.

Hate crime has doubled in the last five years, and as a public broadcaster it should be a bulwark against racism not an amplifier of it's message. By giving a platform to Far Right activists like this they help to legitimise their views!

because the general public at work doesn't get to claim for the like expenses why should we subsidise them for what they can afford to pay for it it's obscene when we have child poverty. in-work poverty and starving homeless on the streets

The committee inviting Lynda Rose to speak was prominent in the campaign for Section 28 which outlawed teaching about gay relationships in the 1980s. This narrative against inclusive sex education discriminates against the LGBT community who are already statistically more likely to experience discrimination and poor mental health.

London and quadrant have put the service charges up for social tenants to £20pw. this will impact those on low incomes or JSA as the service charge element is paid directly by the tenant. If you get the maximum JSA rate of £78pw you have to pay £20 service charge per week. That creates poverty for all affected by this and is designed to make tenants with secure tenancies move so the property can be put on the market for open rent attracting 80% increase in rent charged. I live in a small 6 unit property and they are trying to impose this charge without checking the services they give. Presently we have dumped rubbish since November 2019, no entry phone or communal fire alarms. We barely get cleaning services and the dumped furniture blocks the cleaners cupboard so they cannot get in, so no cleaning. Currently we get alleged cleaning, gardening,and one bin. Please signed the petition to end this greed amongst housing associations. Since their privatisation in 2017 under Savid Javid Housing Associations are increasingly behaving like private companies, whilst straddling the lines to receive public funding but operating privately. This has to be challenged or London will turn into a elite place to live, whilst those in need are carted off to the outskirts of London or further. The government says it has an housing initiative to build more properties, however the properties build are for part rent part buy and are apartments so this attracts large service charges. We as Londoners most stand up to the government thinking of future generations and what these changes mean, asking the government to look again at the rules for social housing service charge. This is one of the ways housing associations are making money to build privately and not look after their social tenants or build for social rent.

The world summit on climate change COP 26 is happening in Britain in November this year. After 8 years of research and planning everything is in place to build a breakwater with turbines in it at Swansea Bay. http://www.tidallagoonpower.com/projects/swansea-bay/ Tidal Energy is zero carbon, simple and reliable will last for at least 120 years and breakwaters protect against rising sea levels. In comparison with nuclear costs are minimal. Government says offshore wind is cheaper, but that is not a reason not to invest and do both when climate is at stake. In fact, wind was judged by government to be 'uneconomical' when first created. Private fundraising is needed to make this happen before they lose their licence to build in June 2020. Ideally I would like to find an Environmental Charity who I could give money to in order to invest in them despite all the odds and also get press involved.

Itis important because the living wage in the UK is more than the government pension, We are one of the richest countries in the world as such we should take care of the people who helped build this country.

Fitness improves the overall wellbeing in our teenagers, both mentally and physically, at a time when they need it most. Being a teenager isn’t easy and there are very few adults who would wish to return this age. They are not all rascals, which our press would have us believe. The rascals are in fact the minority. Our community and the facilities within should be encouraging health and fitness. My daughter has been invited to help start a volleyball team at school. She is also a dancer, who aims to teach professionally. She wanted to improve her fitness and so came lane swimming with me. She was asked to leave by the facilities assistant manager due to being “underage”. Not based on ability just on age. She has now joined a gym, who took her money for a membership but when she arrived after school she was told she couldn’t visit without an accompanying adult. We have all read the reports of an increasing number of teenagers suffering from mental health issues, particularly depression, and teenagers addicted to computer games. Exercise helps regulate hormones, improves moodswings, and reduces the risk of mental health issues. Teenagers who have the interest and want to exercise should be encouraged to do so. It keeps them away from the risks and temptations that are ever present on the streets and also steers them away from the bombardment of social media. Surely these facilities should have a responsibility to promote and encourage exercise in our youth. It would just need the simple solution and low cost of providing supervision for 2 or 3 hours after school hours. Please give your support to help encourage these facilities to promote the health and wellbeing, that they market themselves on, to our youth. Health & wellbeing does not just apply to adults.

Catastrophic flooding is rapidly increasing due to climate change. Building defences & piling up sandbags is a short term measure that does nothing to tackle the cause, & reducing carbon emissions, however fast we might do it, is too slow a process to help people being flooded now. But reforesting catchment areas can do both things at once. Many of our uplands are kept as short grass or grouse moor, because its been profitable for landowners to do so. Rain that falls on these areas runs very quickly down to the lowlands, all at once. But trees, & their roots & associated fungi & microorganisms, soak up water & slow its passage, reducing peak flood levels & making rivers flow more evenly. And planting trees also soaks up the carbon dioxide thats causing the problem, as well as healing our damaged local ecosystems. Trees aren't incompatible with farming, but crops are different, & yields may be lower, so landowners need help & encouragement to make the change. This isn't an alternative to flood barriers, or reducing emissions. Its one of several things we need to do all at once to clear up the mess we've created- & we can do it, with the right legislation, without anyone having to sacrifice anything & with good results visible in just a few years!

This is important because people are easily misled into buying the same produce for an increased price, unless they have weighing scales close by, and the time to calculate the true values. It’s just another form of daylight robbery by deception that doesn’t have a place in a developed society.

It is cruel for humans to have to suffer illnesses and diseases with no say for their end of life, families are put under extreme pressure and grief totally unnecessarily. For humans to still be doing this to each other and being punished for helping to end misery is a shameful state of affairs. A recognised, registered chaperone to accompany euthanasia life ender's legally to their place of choosing needs to be made legal. For the sake of us now and in the future, for the benefit of our loved ones and those yet to come after us. For us to be held accountable for the choices that are ours to make, to allow us all to evolve to a higher level of awareness and grace.
