It’s important because we work all year round to earn our holiday pay and are entitled to it

It is unfair that local residents and visitors who cannot use stairs should have to make their way to other stations. We demand a lift be installed to correct this injustice.

Clean drinking water is a basic human right. Plastic bottles are polluting the oceans. People would bring their own drinking water in their own re-usable containers if they were allowed, - but they are not. Apart from generating polluting plastics, airport shops charge for water at often 5 or 6 times the price it would be in a supermarket.

Dog Poo is hazardous to health, smelly, sticky and dificult to remove from car, carpet, shoes etc.Discarded Poo bags are unsightly, dangerous to livestock and wild life and are not generally bio-degradable so will remain where deposited for years.

Up to 90 buses per hour use Gosforth High Street. Passengers have put up with no shelter for over two years outside the Gym. The current situation is confusing, with two obsolete bus shelters either side of the current bus stop. Passengers often get wet through to the skin whilst waiting for a bus. Others shelter in the obsolete shelters and have to run for the bus. Some don’t get there in time.

At a vulnerable time families, especially the poorest, are pushed into 'death poverty'. It is not necessary as body disposal is not their responsibility. Funeral firms should be regulated and should provide a nationally standard statement to potential customers, making them aware they are not responsible for funerals. Local authorities should oversee this and provide statutory information about responsibilities for funerals. 'Many families left behind end up in debt as a result of funerals' according to the Independent. The average price for a cremation now stands at £3,596 and £4,561 for a burial. Prices are increasing at four times the rate of inflation. With unregulated operators, and local authorities keeping quiet about this, there is no compulsion for full disclosure to let families know they need not incur 'funeral poverty'.

Teaching Assistants are extremely valuable staff members within schools that have to take on so many different roles to cope with the growing numbers of children's needs. They need to have the same skills as: counsellors, nurses, social workers and physcologists as well as teaching and nurturing children to their full potential. They currently do not get an annual pay rise, in line with inflation and other rising costs. Only yesterday, I was trying to control a number of children who were screaming, jumping on tables and kicking a classroom door. Teaching assistants frequently have to deal with aggressive and sometimes violent behaviour, be it verbal or physical, often without proper training. The government's cuts to school's budgets have affected their ability to fund new resources and training which can leave staff vunerable. This also does nothing for their self esteem!! Please help these staff whom your children's teachers rely on!! Thank you :)

Instagram is littered with photos of overfed animals or animals that have been bred for “cuteness” despite it being detrimental to their health. The suffering of animals is being exploited to create revenue for cynical animal accounts. Animals are being fed unnatural foods from chocolate to milkshakes and even cannibalistic meats. Hashtags like #ChonkyCat are used to promote the overfeeding and most people are non the wiser that this amounts to serious animal abuse for human gain. It’s up to Instagram to make sure that animals can’t be used in this way.

The sexual age is 16, So why can the smear test be lowed to 16, Iv heard of young girls and women finding out they have cervical cancer, If smear test was lowed to 16 they could catch it more early.

We believe that this will greatly help protect the environment, providing a better world for future generations. Wildlife habitats have been lost to landfill sites, people and animals have become ill due to plastics in the sea eaten by small animals all way up the food chain and increased levels of methane gas have been released due to the plastic water bottles ending up in landfill. This needs to stop.

It's our heritage, our local history.

Gay men still face challenges which are not helped by portraying them as sex obsessed and one dimensional. They are fully rounded members of society.
