Hopefully this would seriously reduce the amount of litter from fast food restaurants thrown from car windows.

The word 'potential' creates the idea of expectation, and a feeling of failiure, as this expectation is an unreachable goal. No teacher ever writes 'fullfilled potential'. This is very damaging for many children, as it contributes to the very common belief of 'not being good enough', that so prominently found in adulthood. Help us get rid of this toxic word once and for all. For the children.

These collars are designed to control dogs by inflicting pain and discomfort if the dog pulls. They can cause serious physical and emotional damage including whiplash, spinal cord injuries, crushing the trachea and puncturing of the skin. The list is long and considering that there are many less invasive alternatives to addressing this problem it is an outdated and unnecessary practice. In short it is a form of torture which would not be tolerated if inflicted on a child but is lawful when used on a dog who, like a child, is totally dependent on an adult to meet their needs. Most dog owners consider them to be part of the family. Is deliberately inflicting pain on a family member acceptable in our society?

Many people have been affected badly by the covid 19 not being able to work the fees are high enough and it's stressful worrying about the fees and the process of it all.

This is important as children develop , learn and internalise reading and sets of values from books they study at these ages. Following the outrageous killing of George Ffoyd in the US , institutional and personal racism has been shown in the light to be the dangerous and destructive hatred that it is. Education is the way many hearts and minds can be nurtured and made aware of these dangers and that justice comes must always prevail before peace - a pint t among others that this great text clearly demonstrates

To support our environment, with the intention to divert our hard earned taxes to more important things. Verges and banks would not only look more attractive, they will be as they would've been without human interference, beneficial to pollinators and ultimately to us. Mowing regimes would only be altered, not stopped. This would be a practical alternative to wildflower planting schemes - why do the work when nature has done it for us? Plants just need the chance to establish and would quickly do so. The wildflowers would be on display at their most attractive time for anyone concerned of an eyesore. Weeds = Wildflowers: our ecosystem needs them!

How a child looks is important to them, especially during the teenage years. Some children are already very distressed by the new uniform they are expected to wear and this may negatively impact on their self image and mental health. It will make them stand out when outside of school in the surrounding town, in a way that the current uniform does not.

We urge a huge expansion of the Housing First solution that has proved successful in Finland to house people. This is a once in a generation opportunity to tackle the shame of rough sleeping in the 6th richest country in the world. We call on the government to provide to additional resources for support needs and for additional affordable housing to achieve this and we call on the council to work creatively with government, business and community to use the resources available to ensure offers of long term accommodation to all the rough sleepers currently in hotel and student accommodation” We the undersigned welcome that councils have offered accommodation to all rough sleepers (without conditions) in the pandemic and further welcome the commitment of the Housing committees on preventing a return to the streets and to explore ways of continuing the unconditional offer of shelter for all rough sleepers that is currently available. Housing is a basic right

The misery caused to individuals and their families has been devastating. The BBC film 'Sitting in Limbo' documents just one case but 1275 people have applied to the Windrush Compensation scheme. Fourteen months later, only 60 have received any compensation. If Priti Patel is 'truly sorry' can she commit to dealing with all these claims within six months?. The claimants have had their lives torn up; they have lost their jobs and access to healthcare and benefits to which they were entitled. it is time the government did more than apologise. They should show urgency in putting right what has gone so shamefully wrong. 83 people wrongfully deported are still awaiting the right to return to the UK. 13 have died while waiting.

The delays in decision making mean that teachers are in the dark about how best to proceed with the new exam course.

Because the government have locked us down, preventing people from earning money, getting people laid off from their jobs, shut down businesses causing many people to go into poverty and depression due to worrying how they will continue to pay there mortgages/rent/bills and how they will afford to eat and yet we are still expected to pay full council tax costs each month which are high and unaffordable for many people at the moment. The government should help people out by cancelling this until lockdown is fully over and they should be more sympathetic to the stress we are all under in these worrying times.

Lulsgate Bottom was never meant to be eaten by an airport. In the second world war 14 acres was used by the RAF as an emergency landing field. In 1955 Bristol Corporation bought the field and it began to sprawl. The airport’s boom into a site of major ecological destruction began with privatisation in 1997. Since then passenger numbers have quadrupled from 2 million a year to 8.6 million a year [1] and the airport’s greenhouse gas emissions have skyrocketed to 746 kilotonnes CO2e in 2017. [2] This compares to emissions of 1149 kt CO2e from the entire North Somerset local authority in 2015. [3] Bristol Airport butts up against Goblin Combe Nature Reserve, a site of Natural Conservation Importance and a Site of Special Scientific Interest. [4] If Bristol Airport was rewilded it would triple the size of the nature reserve. With only three flights a week currently departing Bristol Airport, now is a unique opportunity to give this land back to nature. The government’s feeble attempt to deal with the crisis faced by the aviation industry consists of handouts to big corporations and does nothing to protect workers’ livelihoods. [5] Rather than letting workers bear the costs of the collapse of the aviation sector, the government needs to halt redundancies by immediately offering Bristol Airport workers redeployment on their current terms and conditions to green jobs in North Somerset. Restoring our ecosystems will need all hands on deck. This wouldn’t be the first time an airport has been successfully rewilded. Berlin’s former Tempelhof Airport is now a public park, home to rare nesting birds, 112 spider species and 68 beetle species. [6] The closure of Bristol Airport shouldn’t leave Bristolians less connected. The government’s nationalisation of the rail network to deal with the pandemic is an opportunity to lower costs and improve connections. Direct trains from Bristol to Scotland need to be priced as cheaply as budget airfares. New timetables and discounted fares need to connect trains from Temple Meads with Eurostar trains to Brussels and Paris. Trains from Bristol must integrate with ferries from Fishguard to Ireland and Plymouth to Spain. Airport workers who wish to continue their career in international transport should be offered roles in these improved routes.
