At present, each NHS Trust is able to set their own policies on whether Dads can stay overnight on their maternity wards. Whilst one hospital will allow this, another five miles away, will not. Should parents be sent to a different hospital to the one stated in their birthing plan, they do not know if the Dad can stay overnight. At the birth of my baby, I was shocked that Dads were being asked if they wanted to stay overnight, as this should be a given with no need to be asked. Whilst most Dads said they would stay overnight, several said they were going home. The expectation should be that they are all staying at hospital with their partner. After Dads had advised that they would be staying, they were then told that there was nowhere for them to sleep other than a plastic chair and it was made clear that the food was for the expectant mother. While the food issues is fully accepted, a more comfortable environment should be provided for Dads. Initially, I wanted to campaign for the comfort aspect to be improved, however when researching this, it became apparent that Dads are not allowed to stay overnight at all hospitals. This is reminiscent of of Victorian times, yet it is still happening in 2020. Dads are a great emotional support to their partners during labour, and if allowed to stay, can relieve midwives from this role. When there is a societal view that men often don't get involved with child care, they should be encouraged and accepted to stay at hospital at such a significant time as child birth. By not allowing Dads to stay, sends out the wrong message to new Dads. Furthermore, a baby needs to be able to form attachments with both parents, and therefore Dads must be able to start this relationship from the outset. Please support us in our campaign to get all NHS Trusts to have consistency in policy, by allowing Dads to stay overnight at every maternity ward. Thank you Jonathan Roberts

The charges are "OUT OF CONTROL" these companies are doing what they like, bring a blight to people's lives and the communities in which they have chosen to live.

Every day British Airways oblige their passengers to tag their hand luggage with single use tags that are only to identify hand luggage that has to be placed under the seat. Millions of non recyclable plastic tags are handed out everyday and are then put into the trash ( garbage).These tags are a nonsensical waste of single use plastic.There are many companies that now produce compostable or biodegradable tags that British Airways ( and other airlines could use ). Please sign this petition to stop this wasteful procedure.

The site is near schools, homes and businesses. The incinerator produces electricity from all kinds of rubbish, including plastics. It's the CO2, other greenhouse gases and the fine particulates that are produced that are particularly harmful to the atmosphere and to people living locally and downwind. Wisbech also doesn't have the road infrastructure to cope with the vast number of lorries which will need to travel in and out of the area. This will also affect all the surrounding villages and local nature reserves. Our MP Steve Barclay and local councillors are also against the incinerator.

Its important because carers get a very low income to start with £66.15 per week and having to travel to get vital things and every day essentials if the person is house bound or does not want to go out can make these trip very expensive for the carer receiving such a low income when they are having to pay out anywhere from £20 to £33 a week depending where they live ...this is disgusting considering they only get a pittance for the care and support they give to others in need.

Families are being devastated by the detention and threat of loved ones being lost forever and possibly killed if deported to a country they have never known.

Many Post Offices in rural areas depend on income derived from Pension payments. If they lose this many will close. The DWP says that as Post Offices will make payments from Bank Accounts, there will be no problem. But my bank (Barclays) has already withdrawn this facility last month and will other banks follow ?

The brand of Royal Bank whilst tarnished by events is far better known, recognised world-wide by all. The Natwest brand on the contrary has less than 40-50 years history and caused many of the problems which tarnished RBS image. The decision has more to do with corporate lobbying and is not reflective of history, heritage or moving forward with pride and passion. The Royal Bank of Canada has not considered such an audacious step and has not suffered from a similar brand identity issue. There are many past employees and customers who will be appalled by this move and when the Natwest joined the RBS family there was a positive welcome by the teams.

Birds need these protections to remain in place. We have lost a huge number of our birds in recent years, scrapping the EU directives will further harm birds. Together, the EU Birds and Habitats Directives enable all the EU Member States to work together within the same strong legislative framework in order to protect the EU's most vulnerable species and habitat types across their entire natural range within the EU, irrespective of political or administrative boundaries.

The community meals service is the only thing standing between vulnerable elderly people and death from starvation and dehydration. The in- house community meals service is a fair local employer for local people.

- Local Authority and Waste Authorities need to be able to recycle efficiently, effectively, and economically; and this means having suitable and timely labelling for consumers to be able to simply and efficiently separate eg all plastics, wet/dry, and for these then to be sorted by state of the art technology for recycling or storing. - Did you know that 'not yet recyclable' labelling means that only 25% of local authorities are recycling these items, and 'widely recycled' that only 75% of these items are recycled locally? - In all liklihood, between 25% and 100% of 'not yet recyclable' labelled items are not sent for recycling, and up to 100% 'widely recycled' items include non-recyclables are mixed and not separated out. - Where unrecyclable items were once sent to unsorted landfill, landfill is now well regulated, although inspections are fewer due to cuts in local authority and failure of privatised services, only non-hazardous inert waste is now landfilled (with exceptions, nuclear waste). - Organic waste can be used for fertiliser. - Incineration is now the preferred 'ecological' waste disposal method in the UK&EU, and much of the rest of the world (eg India). However any new construction sites are now under moratorium in the EU for incineration; although this is not the case in the UK anyway (ignored and as other places loosed regulation and oversight inspection for the free market. There are several (at least 6) new incineration energy from waste sites to be opened in the UK 2020, to add to the well over 40 energy from waste plants in UK (2017). - Incineration as an Energy from Waste producer, is the least economic, efficient or effective generator of electricity, despite DEFRA approving many projects and others in the planning and building phase (Edmonton, Isle of Wight) with independent Environmental Assessment. - The most economic, effective and efficient renewable energies are from combined wind wave and solar. This 38 Degrees petition asks that in a timely manner, say before 2021, UK gov. post Brexit, to transfer all EU directives on incineration and landfill, regulate and inspect all UK sites and meet 2020 UK Waste Management Implementation Plan targets, with improved plans for 2021 on. - Local Waste and Energy Authorities and Councils to work together to provide an economic, efficient and effective source of energy and waste that is top of the market in tech,. price and delivery, employment and labour rules and regulation simplified, recycled recyclable circular economy. - To improve on these targets in subsequent years, through economic, effective and efficient use of technology, in re-cycling and storing (including all plastic), landfill (where inspected and regulated for purpose), restricted bio-mass (fertiliser) or incineration (medical restricted to hospital sites, not transported). - Renewable energy (solar, wind, water, other renewables) to replace in a timeframe mutually agreed for existing stocks to be run down and oil and gas imports ended, transport and industrial processes, trade digital and electric, circular battery re-charging (e) vehicles; to address and meet climate change crisis targets, clean air, and for everyone. - Retail products to be labelled simply recyclable or non-recyclable and local waste authorities and retail and their manufacturers to be responsible for meeting 0% carbon, toxic emission (NOx SOx etc.). - Stores to have their own store returnable reusable and recyclable bins at all stores. - For 'not-currently recyclable' and 'widely recyclable' to be replaced with 'recyclable only' or 'not recyclable only'. - All stores Tesco Sainsburys Waitrose etc. to abide by a PPP Polluter Pays Policy to re-use, recycle or store for future tech.
