The tax rise would mean better off people would pay significantly more than those on lower and middle wage levels. Those on £150,000 would pay an extra £1,500 per year, those on £30,000 around £140 a year. And it would raise almost £500m to invest in services currently being cut to the bone or abolished

At present drivers go through the pelican crossing when it's turning red, and also when it is red. This crossing is used by many school pupils including those at Queens Park Community School, Capital Academy and Malorees Junior School. It is only a matter of time before a child gets killed by a driver. Brent Council needs to put a red light trigger camera and warning sign at the pelican crossing before a death not after one. Prevention is better than Death!

This centre is absolutely vital for babies and parents. Life as a new parent can be challenging and, at times, isolating. This centre is crucial for meeting other parents and getting the support needed for your baby, whether that be for weighing, feeding or any other concerns. Without it many people would have to travel to Burghfield, which is very difficult for many people in the area.

The Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt has draconically imposed a new Contract on Junior Doctors. This is a dangerous moment for the NHS, for the Doctors and the BMA. They need to know that we support them in their fight against this tyranny. The TUC can act as a focus for this peaceful protest. We want one day of solidarity and support. Let us show Mr Hunt that the Nation stands with our Doctors and our NHS.

The health secretary has frequently and publicly quoted statistics claiming that there is increased mortality in NHS hospitals over weekends. This is incorrect. In fact, fewer patients die in hospitals over the weekend than any other day of the week. The health secretary refers to research which claim an excess 11,000 hospital deaths amongst patients who are admitted into hospital over weekends. He fails to make clear that this refers to a "weekend" period of Friday to Monday (i.e. 4 days) and death within 30 days of admission, not upon admission at the weekend. He claims that these 11,000 "excess" deaths are related to lack of staffing by junior doctors at weekends; there is absolutely no evidence that this is the case. He incorrectly makes these claims, when even the very study from which he quotes, clearly states that there is no evidence these deaths are preventable and did not identify a causative factor. He fails to acknowledge research that has demonstrated the patients who are admitted to hospitals as weekends are often sicker than those admitted during the week and therefore more likely to die. Whilst there is a need to investigate these statistics in more detail and improve NHS care wherever possible throughout the NHS, these incorrect public statements should not be used as a justification for imposing a new junior doctor contract and should be publicly retracted. The incorrect use of statistics by the health secretary has led to huge, yet entirely unnecessary, anxiety to the general public, many of whom are now scared to be admitted to hospital over a weekend and have even not attended hospital when acutely unwell over a weekend because of these fears. This needs to be redressed.

Herefordshire Councils Cabinet signed off last December/November a raise in the car park charges which came into effect on the 1st of February. As a example Herefords Merton Meadow car park before the increase was £3 all day as of the 1st of Feb this went up to £5 this is a raise of 66%!! Whilst in leominster the car park in Broad street went from £1 to £2.50 which represents a 150% increase!! Further information on car parking price changes can be found at https://www.herefordshire.gov.uk/media/3921502/car_park_notice_of_variation_of_charges_feb_2016.pdf This is unfair because this now means that people that work in Hereford will now have to work for 3/4 of an hour just to park their car. I also believe that with more and more chain stores moving in Hereford the increased car parking charges will impact on local residents, tourism and business people not coming at staying in Herefordshire. Many local small independent shops haven't got e commerce websites and therefore people can't buy their products/services online. This in turn is playing into the hands of major business and taking money away from local business. The other day a work colleague was paying for parking in Herefords Merton Meadow car park. The lady in front of here was from Cardiff for the day she said "£5 for parking, thats the last time that I come to Hereford." Their argument that this was done to try and get the public to use more public transport is floored when in their last budget they reduced the bus services that they subsidise therefore meaning that less services are now running. Also how many councillors do you see actively using and promoting public transport?? If you agree with any of the points that I raise please please sign my petition against Herefordshire Councils Cabinet and maybe Cllr Rone will take note and review the parking charges decision that has been made. Thank you for your time.

KEEP BACKING THE BILL! KEEP SIGNING THE PETITION! KEEP WRITING TO YOUR MP! ** UPDATE 15/03/2017** The postponed 2nd Reading of the NHS Bill is scheduled for 24th March 2017. It is so far down the list that it is unlikely to be debated. The NHS deserves more than this. Please email/tweet/facebook your MP asking them to support the NHS Bill. We are in this campaign for the long haul.** ** UPDATE 31/10/2016** The NHS Bill has been published in full on the parliament site. We need MPs to support it on 4th November in the House of Commons. Keep our NHS Public are organising a rally of support outside parliament from 11am-1pm - all welcome. It is unlikely the Bill will proceed further on this day, but the campaign - and the pressure on MPs - will continue. **UPDATE 30/7/2016** On 13th July 2016, the NHS Reinstatement Bill was successfully presented in the House of Commons, by Margaret Greenwood, Labour MP for Wirral West. Although opposed by Philip Davies, Conservative MP for Shipley, he did not call for a vote and so it was introduced by acclamation. The debate was well attended by Labour MPs, including Jeremy Corbyn. We think it’s positive the Bill wasn’t voted down, was presented by a Labour MP and has the support of the Labour front bench. But it needs to be published in full before its second reading on 4th November 2016, so we'll be keeping a close watch. **UPDATE 12/3/2016** We have been amazed at the number of people who have signed this petition, even since the debate closed. Fantastic. Please don't be put off signing as every signature helps to show and build support for the Bill.** **UPDATE 11/3/2016**The petition was formally handed over on 11 March 2016, on the day the Bill was discussed in Parliament. The Bill was filibustered by Conservative MPs who spent 4.5 hours talking about their Bill, so only 17 minutes was left for the NHS Bill. However, there is a huge groundswell of support for the NHS Bill, and we will be looking at ways to reintroduce the NHS Bill to Parliament. But we need to build more support from MPs, especially those in the Labour party. So PLEASE do write to your MP asking them to back it. The campaign continues.** The NHS in England is being dismantled. NHS services - including acute and emergency, children’s, elderly and maternity care - have been deliberately underfunded since 2010. The comprehensive care we’ve come to expect continues to be cut back. Many services have been handed to private companies such as Virgin, Serco and US giant United Health, hiding behind the NHS logo. Valuable NHS buildings and land are being sold off to property developers, often as a result of the exorbitant costs of paying for new hospitals built under the Private Finance Initiative (PFI). These are our services and our assets. We the public own them. And polls repeatedly show that most of us want to keep our NHS. Privatised services cost the NHS and tax payer far more than when provided by our publicly owned and publicly run NHS. That is because public health systems don’t seek profits. They don’t need to pay dividends to shareholders. They don’t have the added costs of private sector loans. And they don't have to pay the management fees that private companies charge. A public NHS also doesn't have privatisation’s heavy marketing and contract administration costs of extra lawyers, accountants and management - at least £4.5 billion annually on one estimate and rising. Just cutting them, not NHS services, would go a long way to cover the shortfall between government underfunding and the NHS' needs over the next 5 years. These huge commercial costs and the chaos caused by the ongoing NHS fragmentation are the direct result of privatisation. This is endangering the quality and safety of our public healthcare. Privatisation isn’t just bad for the tax-payer. It's bad for our health. The Bill was presented to Parliament in July 2015 by Caroline Lucas MP with the cross-party support of 77 MPs. It is backed by the Green Party and the SNP, as well as by Jeremy Corbyn, John McDonnell and other Labour MPs, one Plaid Cymru and one Liberal Democrat MP. Please sign the Petition to show MPs that we, the public, want them to reinstate the NHS as a public service. It is their responsibility to do so. And please write to your MP - whatever party she/he belongs to - stating your wish and urging him/her to back the Bill to bring back our NHS in England. You can find out who your MP is, how to write your letter and get more information on the NHS Reinstatement Bill Group’s website: http://www.nhsbill2015.org/ And join in the conversation on Twitter: @nhsbillnow and #NHSBillNow. Launched on 11th February 2016 this Petition originates from the NHS Reinstatement Bill Group, which includes the Bill’s co-authors Professor Allyson Pollock and lawyer Peter Roderick. Backing for the Bill continues to come from NHS personnel across the spectrum, from paramedics, nurses and Junior Doctors to senior consultants and managers. Over 300, including well-known names (Alan Bennett, Keira Knightley, Melvyn Bragg, Damian Lewis, Helena Kennedy, Stephen Frears, Alexei Sayle, Darcey Bussell) signed a letter of support published in The Guardian on 4th March 2016: http://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/mar/04/why-we-support-the-cross-party-nhs-bill

Time is running out. 7 day-a-week access to hospitals is possible but it must be paid for. If Jeremy Hunt gets his way with these bullying tactics against one of the greatest assets we have within our NHS, our junior doctors, it will be a terrible loss to all of us.

This is so important because it is affecting people's ability to feed their own family. How can we live in a society where people are punished in such a way that they cannot feed their children? It is right that any system of benefits has checks and balances in it so people cannot abuse the system but we also have to have compassionate limits which do not affect the health and well-being of those affected. So many families are having to access the country's Foodbanks because they have been sanctioned. when a sanction is put in place this usually means that the majority of a person's income is stopped immediately meaning they are unable to meet their regular financial commitments including buying food. If they get a hardship payment after two weeks of a sanction this has to be repaid afterwards which adds more of a financial strain. If you refused to feed your dog as a punishment for some misdemeanor you would be prosecuted for animal cruelty but for some reason the DWP can do just that to a family by removing their ability to feed their family. Where is the justice in that? We need a robust system which is also compassionate and acknowledges that these people are human beings with a right to feed themselves and their families.

Hundreds of volunteers and some paid staff, who are practitioners of a number of different therapy practices, including reflexology, aromatherapy or massage, acupuncture, healing and Reiki, Tai Chi and others are important to make sure people with cancer will loose their funding. Patients who are receiving palliative care need to be made as comfortable as possible and deserve the best care which these complementary therapy services provide.
