It seems madness to me that the council are deliberately poisoning our natural world: our life support system. Especially now, in the midst of a global environmental crisis. Waverley Borough Council need to be responding to this and acting in a responsible manner . We need nature, we are part of nature. Our well being and health is totally interdependent with the natural world. There is overwhelming evidence of the toxic legacy from glyphosate use. The case of groundsman, Dewayne Johnson v. Monsanto Bayer in the U.S.A. has been a landmark in finally acknowledging the devastating health effects of exposure to pesticide/herbicides. It is absolutely not acceptable that we are being routinely exposed to these chemicals in our public spaces - children’s play parks, sports fields, popular picnic spots, residential streets without our consent or advance notification. The bioaccumulate effect is real and devastating for wildlife- our whole ecosystem is dependent on healthy biodiversity. The sounds of our local countryside even here in leafy Surrey are changing with reduced birdsong, bees, moths and so much of our native wildlife. I’ve been alarmed at the silence from the loss of bees on Frensham Common- a place I’ve walked all my life. In past years, as the heather comes into full flower , the air is normally full of the sound of humming bees gathering stores for winter. This summer there has been an eerie silence and extraordinary stillness. I have never known such a dramatic change. This is such a serious issue. The council could choose a different approach. Please make your voice heard and tell them you want them to stop using pesticides in their green spaces grounds management. Also, we can all chose to see nature in all her wild beauty and not insist that Waverley Borough Council maintain manicured verges, parks and public spaces. Please encourage Waverley to actively encourage wildflower verges, scruffy living hedges and to set aside wildlife areas in our public parks and gardens. They are your council- tell them what sort of place you want you and your families to live in. Frensham Parish Council have now banned the use of pesticides on their land (2018) in recognition of the health concerns. It is possible to make change happen for the better!

Because kids should not have this information easy to access. We've thought we were prepared using OpenDNS to avoid opening various adult related sites and I've found my 7 year old kids watching really explicit nudity pictures that Google does not block. The only technical solution after reading in Forums is to block Google and YouTube, but a company like Google should have the same safeguards that Bing has. Googlesafe works only when you are logged in, but the majority of times, when kids use search engines they are not logged in, so it is pretty useless.

No two schools are alike. But the government doesn’t seem to agree. It wants to rush through plans to force every single school in England to become an academy – the type of school paid for by taxpayers, but run by businesses, sponsors or trusts. Many teachers and parents are already standing against the plans, saying that they’re ‘a step towards privatisation’, ignore local views, and could force some schools to close. One size does not fit all, and local parents and teachers should have a say in the future of our school. ------ If this isn't your local school, click here to sign your local petition, or start one if no-one else has yet: https://secure.38degrees.org.uk/start-a-campaign-for-your-school

The use of glyphosates has already been banned or restricted in 8 countries. It is not acceptable that ourselves, our children and the animals we share our community with are being routinely exposed to these chemicals whether we like it or not. This is a matter of great importance for those of us who care about each other's health and the health of our children, our cats, our dogs and all the flora and fauna of this city, of course including our beloved bees.

I have found it impossible to register to vote as I live in a Safe House in Bristol. With the local elections happening right now, and the EU referendum coming up, I'm left without a vote, without a voice, without a say on local Councillor appointment, City Mayor, the Police Crime Commissioner position or whether we stay in or out of the EU. My struggle to register made me realise this is a huge issue that no one even realises. As I live in a safe house it is vital for my safety that my name and address do not appear on the electoral register. The current system does provide an 'anonymous registration' process designed to protect vulnerable or at risk people who can't disclose their residential address. However this form requires evidenced approval through proven Court Injunction, written signature from a Police Superintendent or Adult Social Services management. For many in my situation, (estimated at 70% of all residents in Bristol safe houses by support staff here) their registration would not be eligible for sign off. Taking away the civil right, human right that was fought so hard for back in 1918 that introduced the 'Representation of the People Act' allowing women the right to vote. Across England there are over 250 independent refuges providing safe emergency accommodation for people fleeing domestic abuse. Thousands of people living in secure residential accommodation where location secrecy is of utmost importance. Thousands of people who will not be able to register to vote. That is a huge number of women being denied basic Human Rights. The Human Rights Act (1998) states "it is unlawful for public authority to act in a way which is incompatible with European Convention right". Safe houses and refuges by their very nature ensure all residents staying with them are in need of safety and security after leaving abuse. Therefore having management level able to sign the anonymous registration form is more than enough evidence for each residents need for anonymity. Such a simple solution for such an important change that needs to be made. Please sign and share this petition so we can no longer be kept in silence. Thank you.

In the past angling was the looked upon as for the "rich" The SNP are now been seen to revert back to these times making it inaccessible to many. Not only was "one for the pot" the law of the day but now a tax on catches seems to be the way,

This Will: Save the council an estimated £4 million pounds to spend on schools ect Stop the environmental destruction of an essential tidal stretch of the Thames Save the valuable kingfisher and heron nesting sites Stop the reduction of the size Watermans park to make way for a car Park Save a valued community of local residents Reduce the gentrification of a once diverse area of London This thriving community of Brentford residents have lived and worked in this area for up to 20 years. We are being forced out by Hounslow Borough Council because this area has become a magnate for developers. Selling over priced glass boxes often to overseas investors, changing the character of this historic part of West London. We are not against change and want to be included in the regeneration of the area. These boats are our homes, much loved and in some cases Nationally reconsidered historic vessels with some of them making valuable contributions to one or both war efforts. Please help us convince the council to adopt our low cost, low environmentally impacting solution and save our much loved homes.

- Research released last year revealed a staggering 80% of areas in Northern Ireland have no specialist perinatal mental health services and there is no specialist inpatient mother and baby unit in the whole of Ireland. - In addition to the devastating consequences to the woman, untreated illness can have adverse effects on child development and long-term outcomes. - There is also a heavy economic cost of perinatal mental illness to our society and public services. Research released last year shows that the long-term costs to society of perinatal mental illness are more than £8bn for each annual cohort of births in the UK. - Nearly three-quarters of this cost results from the adverse impacts of perinatal mental illness on the child. - The extensive scientific evidence, as well as guidance from Nice and Sign show that this will need to include a new inpatient mother and baby unit and specialist perinatal community teams.

It is widely recognised that junior doctors are the lifeblood of the modern NHS. They are the consultants of the future, and through years of dedicated training provide a truly 24 hour a day, seven day a week service. The proposed contract undermines safe working practices, reverts to a previously failed system and has been roundly rejected by the workforce. It is openly discriminatory against female doctors. The proposed changes are based on flawed analysis of data that suggests a “weekend effect” and while we are keen to improve safety in hospitals across the UK, this contract will harm patients, harm the workforce and harm the training of junior doctors. Further to the overwhelming rejection of this contract by junior doctors, they have huge support from consultant colleagues, multiple Royal Colleges and the public as a whole. Please publicly reject the imposition of this contract at Stockport NHS Foundation Trust and call for new negotiations without pre-condition in a mark of support for the hard working and dedicated doctors employed by the Trust.

This is important to challenge the claim that children need to pass these tests in order to have successful careers. Other important areas of education, such as the Arts, have to be neglected as teachers are pressured to ' teach to the tests'.
