• Address the school traffic issue in Lytchett Matravers
    Lytchett Matravers is a beautiful village with a strong community. There have been concerns for many years now regarding parking in Wareham Roads and the surrounding smaller roads during school run times. Many residents have complained to the council, to the police and to local councillors but no action has been taken. During school runs, many parents travel into the village to collect and pick up their children. Their parking options are very limited and sadly, a minority of parents choose to park without consideration to residents and other road users. It is routine to find school run cars parked over nearby junctions, on the pavements and blocking dropped kerbs. Drivers are unable to see oncoming traffic when driving in and out of Wareham Road putting themselves and pedestrians at risk. The amount of congestion around junctions means that traffic flow is severely restricted. It is not uncommon for it to take 15 minutes or more to navigate past the school on Wareham Road safely. This situation could be easily improved by simply putting double yellow lines around the corners of junctions off Wareham Road in the vicinity of the school. This could be enforced with traffic wardens as and when required. The situation is now so dangerous, we feel it is only a matter of time before there is a serious accident in this area. We call on Dorset County Council to take positive action and fulfil their duty of care to the residents, parents and children.

  • Wearing a helmet made mandatory for all cyclists.
    Because to many people go around without a helmet on if they were to fall for what ever the reason they could end up in A&E, thats an extra person in A&E, if its a serious fall it could and can be life changing injuries, it needs to be law that if we are out cycling we must by law wear a helmet.

  • Remove migrant healthcare Surcharge
    Every Thursday we clap for our NHS and for our key workers. Many key workers within the UK are migrants who contribute far more than they take out. To remove the surcharge would be symbolic in recognising that migrants aren't a drain on our society, but are a key part of it. To show our thanks, we need to do more than just clap. We need to change the policies which harshly impact the migrant workers saving lives.

  • STOP leaving people out of Grants and Furloughs on stupid little loopholes!
    These staff are some of the hardest hit and do not have straight forward work circumstances. The government has not taken into account in these types of circumstances where businesses may have been taken over and there may be other issues. Neither have they responded to ANY emails from frustrated and worried people in these sorts of positions. Ignoring the problem in the hopes it will go away. It will not, and should not, these people are entitled to the SAME help as everyone else and should not be loop holed out of this through a lack of common sense at HMRC and local councils. It is not only morally wrong to let these people suffer and fall through the cracks, but it is a blatant breach of equality and a clear break of their promise that NO ONE WILL STAND ALONE during this crisis.

  • Gambling promotions from YouTuber's
    Important because the viewer will not see the full advantage of the YouTuber has compared to the average person which will only get the 100% promotion on one occasion. The YouTuber will constantly promote, by way of posting a link in the forum to join the casino through there link..the viewer will noticeably see the YouTuber winning a lot of money during the stream from the YouTuber, however the YouTuber will always have a advantage with all the 100% match deposit & bonuses. Important because of all the vulnerability of potential customers thinking they can do the same as the YouTuber.

  • Independent Inquiry into Lack of PPE
    To ascertain who was telling the truth, & be held responsible if they were knowingly lying. Be held to account for possibly being partially responsible for deaths that could have been avoided had the correct PPE been provided accordingly. We are talking here about ordinary people, husbands wives, fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, friends, friends of friends, relatives. Who may have been sacrificed by people trying to cover up.

  • Key worker protection
    It is vitally important that they have just as much protection as the general public. I've heard many times that staff have been warned not to wear facemasks as they will frighten the public. This is totally unacceptable for all key workers.

  • Pay for the Covid-19 lockdown with fair taxation
    People are losing their jobs, homes and security in the pandemic. Measures introduced by the Government are welcome in helping many in need to survive; in order to pay for this without punishing the poorer members of our society those who can well afford it should pay their fair share. Rather than wealthy CEOs making relatively paltry donations their companies should be paying proper taxes in the countries they extract wealth from. We will all need to pay higher taxes but this should be shared proportionately, without ordinary people bearing the burden as they have done since the 2008 crash. It's no good identifying key workers as the heroes they are if things go back to the way they were before the pandemic, and the very services we depended on to see us through are reduced further with yet more 'austerity' (i.e. austerity for most of us, bounty for the wealthy). We need real and lasting change to effect greater equality in the UK, and this starts with wealthy individuals and corporations making a proper contribution to the country and the people that they benefit from so much.

  • Holiday Refunds
    The UK public are finding times hard enough without essential funds being refunded for holidays not taking place. We need this cash back to live and it is unacceptable that they are breaking EU law in not refunding customers within 14 days. We need definitive deadlines on refunds being received if nothing else. At the moment being told "you will be refunded but we cannot tell you when" is not good enough. Why should they be able to hold onto our money for events that are not to take place and in some instances even demand we continue to pay them for it. Action needs to be taken by the government to help both sides, the holiday firms so that they can survive and refund customers, and the UK public so they can receive this needed money back.
