The world is going to s*** and we're destroying it at an alarming rate what I'm proposing wont stop it but its a very small step in the right direction and in the mean time it might help slow things down while someone smarter than me comes up with a real solution and if we go fume free on a Sunday it'll make the least upheaval to things like buses, postal service and the like

People in small towns and villages need internet just as much as people in big towns and cities. Decent broadband connection is essential for everything from paying bills to running businesses. But for some places in the UK, the internet speed is either painfully slow or non-existent. It's time the government stepped up and fulfilled it's promise of decent broadband for everyone. Fibre Optics laid by BT Open Reach, who have the monopoly on upgrading but are far behind schedule, managed to get the service up and running in Swanage. but the service providers responsible for the cabinet to residence copper wiring didn't/don't buy in enough broadband width for the service to adequately provide consistent speeds. Having upgraded to fibre optic super broadband rates we are still have inconsistent speeds and don't ever expect to have adequate speeds for technological advances like 4K on television.

George V Park is the only public park in the New Town area. It is an oasis of greenness, nature and tranquility in the heart of the city. Now RBS is selling its office on Dundas Street/Eyre Place for redevelopment into residential blocks and retail units. On paper this is a good thing. More people should have the chance to live, work and play in our neighbourhood. However in their current form the plans for the site are awful. Some of the proposed blocks are 8 stories tall, dwarfing anything else nearby. They will plunge George V Park and surrounding streets into the shade forever. A proposed access road will run dangerously close to where children play. Trees and green space will be lost. The original plans looked promising. But they've changed. For the worse. George V Park isn't big. It isn't even especially beautiful. But it's a wonderful, unique space where people of all ages can relax, breathe and play. And it's all we've got. Over the years so much work has been done to nurture and protect this place. Don't let it be ruined for a short-term profit. The Dundas Street site will, and should, be developed. But that must be balanced with the need to protect what makes the area worth living in in the first place. Recent development elsewhere in Edinburgh show just how badly things can go wrong. But they also show how effective people power can be. With your help we can make sure that this development is in the best interests of residents, both present and future. Please sign our petition and help make sure that Edinburgh Council does not approve these plans in their current form. Thank you. You can find more information about the proposed development and material objections to the plans at the following links: http://www.ntbcc.org.uk/development-on-the-rbs-site-on-dundas-street-and-fettes-row-response-to-latest-consultation/ http://www.kgvsy.org.uk http://www.broughtonspurtle.org.uk/news/locals-rally-resist-rbs-plans

People in small towns and villages need internet just as much as people in big towns and cities. An adequate broadband connection is essential for everything from paying bills to running businesses such as my own. But for some places in the UK, the internet speed is either painfully slow or non-existent. Here in Upper Rissington for example, despite 300 plus new homes now largely occupied, broadband speed is worse than 96% of the UK. (checked 16/05/2016 using http://www.dslreports.com/) It's time the government stepped up and fulfilled it's promise of decent broadband for everyone. I suggest this should mean a speed of c.5 megabit/sec download and c. 0.75 megabit/sec upload, ie roughly the median rates for the UK. That's asking for 5 times faster download and 1 to 2 times faster upload than we have in my part of the Cotswolds. Please Sign Up! Fraser Morphew.

BBC is supposed to be impartial and to choose not to broadcast this part of Eurovision, which covers refugees is highly questionable, could be seen as politically motivated or even worse censorship.

Already, fees for university are £9000 per year, and this is only for tuition. Students are leaving with massive debts which have the potential to loom over their heads for the rest of their lives. We are 15 years old. We want to go to university and we don't want to be repaying debts for the rest of our lives. We have a friend who came to school in tears, believing that she couldn't go to university as the fees are too monumental. We believe there are many others all over the country who believe the same thing, and we want to stand up and tell them, No More! We have been told we are the future, but soon the future will too expensive to materialise.

I am currently a single parent to 2 young children and am receiving very little in the way of financial support from the paying parent. The paying parent has seen a loophole in the law where they are in receipt of Employment and Support Allowance and are being financially supported by a working partner, therefore pays the bare minimum in child maintenance. The paying parent gets assistance from the partner with regards to household bills, yet I pay the full amount on my own. It is important that parents be responsible for as much financial support, for their children, as is affordable.

Mr Willie Welsh of Welcare Homes was planning to build a care home and sheltered housing on a site at the southern end of Langholm. He had the site dug out and foundations laid but was then unable to proceed with building works. The site has been left in a terrible mess for some years, which he has of yet refused to reinstate to its former condition. This is to the detriment of Langholm residents and visitors to the town. Action originally started by residents living next to the site, has broadened in to a community wide campaign. Langholm is worth more than the current treatment by businessmen living outside its bounds who do not have to suffer the every day implications to residents and the local tourism industry.
