  • Speed limit in St Mary Cray High Street
    I believe that St Mary Cray High Street poses a danger to pedestrians as well as wild life in the river walk which runs along it. The sleeping police man are not slowing down traffic and measures have to be taken to ensure safety of people using the street. The High street has a primary school, three nurseries, a Park with a playground which means a high number of parents with young children, often toddlers and prams walk along the pavement. This is a dangerous undertaking as the pavement is very narrow in places and drivers speed past pedestrians way above the 20 mile speed limit. I asked one of the bus drivers whether he was aware of this speed limit and he was not. There is a small traffic sign as one turns into the High Street but it is in the round about and barely visible. The traffic on the road has tripled recently as a large number of new houses and flats have been built along the street. Also, drivers use it as a rat run to avoid traffic lights on the main road (A224). When it rains, speeding cars splash dirty water across the pavements with pedestrians having to jump out of the way. Often, rather than slowing down to let oncoming buses pass, drivers go onto the pavement. In short, walking along the High Street pedestrians often endanger their children’s safety.

  • Melton Borough Council: Join Plantlife's Road Verge Campaign!
    Plantlife helps councils manage their verges and greens for native wild flowers and wildlife. Increasingly, local authorities are opting to save money on mowing/strimming by seeding verges and other grassed areas with native plants that are good for struggling wildlife species from butterflies and bees to hedgehogs and voles. These wildlife managed areas are then encouraged to grow naturally and only cut once a year in late Autumn. MBC has debated the climate crisis - now let's encourage them to make a positive start in the next financial year and help turn bare, mown road verges into blooming wild flower meadows!

  • Condemn Immigration Detention Centres in the U.S.A. as a Crime Against Humanity
    I submit that the ICE immigrant detention centres are a Crime Against Humanity by forcibly separating families, detaining asylum seekers with no criminal record, and detaining minor children for committing NO CRIME. So far, 24 people have died in the centres since the Trump administration took office. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/24-immigrants-have-died-ice-custody-during-trump-administration-n1015291 Recent visits to the U.S.A.'s ICE migrant detention centres by lawyers and members of congress exposed the following conditions endured by inmates: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2019/07/democrats-visit-texas-detention-centers/593191/ https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/inside-a-texas-building-where-the-government-is-holding-immigrant-children https://time.com/5623148/migrant-detention-centers-conditions/ https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/politics/elections/2019/07/16/migrant-detention-centers-described-2019-us-government-accounts/1694638001/ According to the United Nations Office on Genocide Protection and the Responsibilty to Protect, the following are among 11 definitions of Crimes Against Humanity, taken from Article 7 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court: "For the purpose of this Statute, ‘crime against humanity’ means any of the following acts when committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population, with knowledge of the attack:" The fourth of these is: "Deportation or forcible transfer of population" The fifth is: "Imprisonment or other severe deprivation of physical liberty in violation of fundamental rules of international law" and the eleventh is: "Other inhumane acts of a similar character intentionally causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or to mental or physical health." A further clarification is given below: "For the purpose of paragraph 1:‘Attack directed against any civilian population’ means a course of conduct involving the multiple commission of acts referred to in paragraph 1 against any civilian population, pursuant to or in furtherance of a State or organizational policy to commit such attack."

  • Leasehold Reforms Must Apply To Shared Ownership
    Shared Ownership is just as flawed and toxic as 100% Leasehold. Shared Ownership needs legal reform to address these issues: 1. Lease extension premiums must be affordable. It has been left unregulated and unchecked, housing associations can, and do, charge 100% premium to extend! not 'affordable' or fair. You should pay your % owned of the premium not any more. 2. Selling shared ownership houses is complicated and costly. High admin fees and extensive fees are just the start 3. Unregulated and unchecked service charges are a huge issue - you are paying your council tax twice 4. Staircasing is overally complicated, not encouraged, and extremely costly in legal fees/admin fees alone. Shared Ownership is supposed to promote buying your home not hinder it 5. Rents are reviewed at RPI which seems unfair considering CPIH is used in housing costs, not RPI. 6. Housing Associations should have some financial responsibility to the house since they own a actual stake in the property.

  • CHC FUNDING FOR DEMENTIA SUFFERERS
    To ensure that free care is offered to alI patients who need 24 hour care for what ever reason are provided with information about continuing healthcare. Dementia care is a prime example of this. As a family we have had to fight to get this process under way and sadly it appears each council cherry picks bits of the The National Framework to suit themselves, even though The Framework states different And is backed up by caselaw. Nobody should have to see a loved one fade away in front of them and then have to deal will bullish bureaucracy.

  • Invest in additional car parking in Locke Park & implement parking permits for local residents
    Over the last few years, the number of events in Locke Park has steadily increased meaning more & more people enjoy what is a wonderful community space. However, that increase in footfall hasn't seen increased investment for parking & the recent double yellow lines on one side of the road has exacerbated the problem. On top of this, the council's decision to grant business licenses to residential properties on the road & the continued use of these homes as HMOs is adding more demand for the very limited amount of space.
