John Bercow has served the House of Commons unstintingly with honour, professionalism and dedication for a decade. It is unthinkable that the current UK government should deny his elevation to the upper House breaking with all tradition, common decency and good sense. John Bercow is far more worthy of this honour than many who currently enjoy it. Boris Johnson should not be allowed to throw his toys out of the pram and block this.

We need to understand that the situation that the children find themselves in is outwith their control. We would not allow animals to be locked in solitary confinement like this. We should not allow it to happen to anyone including children.

The speed limit on this section of the A3051 Botley Road by the Horse & Jockey pub at Curbridge, near Botley, Hants is 40 mph. The narrow width of the bridge causes a serious hazard to vehicles when they round the bend approaching it and find an HGV straddling the centre of the bridge. Crossing the bridge for motorists and cyclists using this route has become particularly dangerous. The new development of North Whiteley is partly responsible for a significant increase in the number of the HGV’s using this road. A recent 10 hour tally we carried out showed over 6,704 vehicles plus 263 HGV's used the bridge. We need to bring this to the attention of Hampshire County Council in order that action is taken to prevent a serious accident or worse a fatality.

500,000 Disposable cups are dropped on the floor daily, littering our countryside and our streets. Many find their way into the oceans adding to the plastic islands with the biggest of these islands now 7 times the size of Great Britain! When run or cycle I am constantly stopping to pick up these cups dropped all over the countryside. Every minute in the UK 2 trees are chopped down to feed our takeaway coffee habit - that is around 2,800 trees per day! Go outside and stand looking at the trees and then imagine you come back tomorrow and every tree you can see gone for 50-100 metres in all directions ... just to get a coffee on the go! We use more than 7 million disposable cups each day in UK and recycle less than 4%. The pile of cups going to landfill each year is bigger than the Albert Hall! Mainly the cups are combined paper and plastic with the plastic taking 40-400 years to degrade in micro plastics. These then enter our environment and our bodies - already shown to be reaching the brains of fish and causing them to be disorientated. Many of the so called compostable cups are not much better as they need to be industrially composted which means they are not even collected in big numbers. As virgin paper needs to be used for these cups the trees still get cut down. There are easy alternatives to assuage our coffee habit - use a reusable takeaway cup, sit in an enjoy your cuppa in a porcelain mug or grab an espresso caffeine hit in Italian style. Baristas in all the major coffee chains hate this part of their job. They do not like giving our these highly destructive cups. In order to get change we need a blanket ban on all these cups which will mean alternatives quickly takeover - we will all still find a way to get our coffee ... simply in a more sustainable way which is nicer to our planet and climate.

The Health Suite has become an important community facility, frequented by people of all ages and backgrounds. Some users of this facility are unable to use Gym, squash courts and even the swimming pools, meaning that the removal of a Health Suite will prevent them from accessing services that promote wellbeing. Excluding a Health Suite from the proposed new facility is short-sighted and will negatively impact the community as a whole. The service users and community members want to demonstrate the need for a dedicated Health Suite, which they demand is included in the proposed new recreation centre.

It is important to include 16 and 17 year olds in a second Brexit referendum because it is their future which will be affected by the outcome. The evidence indicates that young adults are very engaged with Brexit and are concerned about the impact on their futures. Allowing young people to vote would be more representative of what British citizens want in the longer term.

It’s important because members of families and carers are complaining of the ( old) sick kids having to stay open to the public because of the new hospital experiencing problem after problem after problem. It’s time to fix that problem and open the sick kids that is overdue it’s “ open date”

Most staff in the hospitality sector work long exhausting hours for minimum wage with no tips or little tips. Christmas and summer periods are long and You tend to miss out on celebrating the holidays and New year due to working. Chefs/ kitchen porters are working between 45-65 hours a week. Bartenders/ Barbacks are working between 45-65 hours. Servers /food runners working 10-12 hour shifts 5 days in a row and expected to function on 5-7 hours sleep. Hotel staff working endlessly to turn over beds and rooms to make sure they are ready in time. Make sure big corporate parties are perfect and making sure all the mess and stress is unseen and behind closed doors. This does not include everyone in the industry but most people work a lot of hours for little pay and expected to be away from family and friends when it’s the holidays. Mental Health is a big thing in the industry and money is a problem. The less money you have the more you have to work with less sleep. Which means you drain yourself mentally and physically. Last year over 20 hospitality staff members in Manchester / greater Manchester took their lives because their mental health wasn’t in check and wasn’t their workplace highest priority. It was making staff work and making sure they were making money. Not all companies do this and most look after their staff but when it comes down to it most of us are on 0 hour contracts and minimum wage.

Because children will be very unsociable when they are older and it will be better for them.
