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

With many disabled people having to ask for Mandatory Reconsideration followed by appeal they are often left unsupported while gov. depts and legal system is snowed under unable to process appeals fast enough. In the majority of cases the appeals are won which means claimants are caused unnecessary hardship while waiting. Often with disastrous results. Volunteer carers are also effected often having their entire benefits cut to zero while waiting an outcome. This is unfair. If the system is so poorly designed that large numbers are having to appeal only to win their case then it is fair that the claimants should continue to receive benefits while waiting for an inadequate system to catch up. Even when an appeal is won no compensation for extra costs involved is awarded therefor further penalizing the applicant for an inadequately designed and poorly executed system

Following the most recent accident of many, and multiple near misses, we demand that Swale Borough Council install safety calming measures in Church Lane, Newington This is the main route to the village school and Church and is used by many people, from the very young to the elderly, both driving and on foot, every day. Speed is a main factor in many of these incidents, and the usable road width is approximately no more than one car width. The lane is used by a large amount of traffic everyday; including cars, farm traffic and large lorries. We already have the support of the Parish Council and we would like the support of both the Borough Council and the County Council to install traffic calming measures forthwith.
