• Military pentions
    When joining the military at a young age you give up the best years of your life, the physical effect on the body causes you much pain and discomfort in later life. I personally believe that due to the stress put on my body during my 14 years service , has caused me to suffer from much joint pain. During my time as a serving soldier I was expected to run march and walk fully kitted carrying excessive weight, this has obviously caused lots of stress to the joints over a 14 year period. In fact at my time of joining the army in 1979 we were issued with what can only be described as plastic and rubber boots, some 13 years later the MOD decided that these boots were no longer fit for service as they were causing injury. I feel very strongly that we as ex servicemen deserve access to our pentions at the age of 55 like the rest of the public, we have after all done our bit for Queen and country dont we deserve to be treated as equals.I have already undergone surgery on my shoulders, I currently suffer with pain in both knees ankles and wrists. Any ex servicemen reading this will know only to well what the body goes through during your time serving your country, please support this so others can hopefully get what some form of comfort in later life.

  • Make All Nutritional Labels Contain Added Sugar Information and Other Updates
    Eating too much added sugar can cause tooth decay and contribute to people having too many calories, which can lead to weight gain.Being overweight increases your risk of health problems such as heart disease, some cancers and type 2 diabetes. For a healthy, balanced diet, we should get most of our calories from other kinds of foods, such as starchy foods (wholegrain where possible) and fruits and vegetables, and only eat foods high in free sugars occasionally or not at all.

  • Review the sentences of Wayne Bell and other IPP prisoners
    Wayne Bell was just 17 when he was locked up for robbery. He was sentenced in March 2007 and more than 12 years on, he is still in prison. This is because he was among the first convicts to be handed a new type of sentence called "IPP" - since discredited and abolished as 'unjust'. In 2005, the then Home Secretary David Blunkett introduced Imprisonment for Public Protection sentences (IPP). In these sentences prisoners are only released once they can prove that they are no longer a risk, it means prisoners are serving huge sentences for minor crimes.

  • Making Housing More Affordable
    The UK is embroiled in a housing crisis as there just aren't enough affordable homes to go around. Housing is a Basic need in society and for those who can't afford the increasing prices of housing, results in those being stuck in the private rented sector or being left homeless. The Office for National Statistics reports the average home in England cost an average of 7.8 times a full-time workers salary. The shortage of homes is causing prices in the UK to grow with the average price of a property up 4.2% to £224,144 making the average home unaffordable. Sign the petition to help us create more Affordable homes in the UK.

  • The Safety of Lion Lane, Haslemere
    The lane is home to two schools and lots of families. Currently the increasing speed of cars driving down the lane, lack of speed calming measures and uneven pavements threaten the safety of children and residents using the footpaths and crossing the road. By reducing the speed limit to 20mph, increasing speed calming measures and resurfacing the footpath we will be protecting our families and residents within the community and ensuring that Lion Lane is a safe and pleasant area for our children and local community.

  • Unbarr A Friend Who Administered CPR
    Our friend administered CPR to our friend who lives at the Homeless hostel Mount View Court in Chatham. Our friend died a few days later in hospital and we all need eachother at this time. Pathways To Independence have given us us the reason that he "was in past 11pm and visiting hours end at 11pm" We think, considering the circumstances, our keyworkers at the hostel should have waved the visiting hours as without the person staying and administering CPR our friend would have been found dead in his room. We all need eachother right now and this is impacting all of us.

  • Replace all own brand packaging with biodegradable alternatives
    It has become harder and harder to be an ethical consumer when it comes to packaging. Even fruit and veg is packed in plastic punnets most of the time. There are several, biodegradable alternatives to the plastic packaging used by the big supermarkets for their own brand items. Too much emphasis is put on customers and their duty to make the right choice. This is impossible when there is no choice presented. The banning of free plastic carriers bags has shown how big an impact can be made when those who create and sell the problem take a measure of responsibility.

  • Recyclable Plastic Packaging Labelling
    At present a large proportion of food packaging does not provide the consumer with recycling imformation either on the plastic tray, or the accompaning paper information. This lack of information means that a lot of recyclable plastic still goes to landfill. Conversely consumers may be presenting plastics for recycling having assumed them as recyclable when they are not.

  • The Blue School Wells Bus Service
    Somerset County Council have just cut fee paying seats on school transport from West Pennard / North Wootton to The Blue School. This causes great difficulty for many families who now have to all make alternate arrangements to get their children to school each day. Also, in 2018 the public transport provider First Bus cancelled a service which had been transporting at least 30 children to and from Shepton Mallet to Wells. The remaining public bus service to school is much later and is often delayed in the morning, making children late for school. It also now sees them waiting over an hour in Wells for their bus home.
