We believe this would be detrimental to the nursery pupils, to the overall school provision and quality of education in Cadoxton and to the wider community. We would loose our head teacher who provides exceptional leadership and also having a head onsite defuses potential difficult situations that arise. The school has not only received high praise from Estyn but has achieved the highest category A Green standard in assessments for four years running and is also the only school in the Vale of Glamorgan to be selected by the Central South Consortium to be part of the Foundation Phase Alliance Group. Through this the nursery provide training and support to other schools that received an amber or red status. Our nursery school is the centre of our community. Generations of families have attended the nursery before moving to feeder schools. The nursery puts parents and families at the centre of their work and help families through times of crisis and join us in celebrations. Our nursery is too precious to lose. Stand alone nursery is needed in this deprived area. The council have stated it is to save money. But then also say it would possibly not make the savings straight away. Our children's education should come first and foremost and we want the council to leave alone our stand alone Nursery .Please help us and sign our petition and get the council to listen to us the people that are strongly effected.

We are a tolerant and humane and very fortunate society and it is important for us to show human compassion, kindness, generosity and practical help to our less fortunate neighbours. We need to do more faster than we are at present. The Government's pledges and time scale do not match the public mood. We want to help, not to feel powerless and overwhelmed by the human misery we see on our TV screens daily. We have the ability, the will and the means to make it happen so let us just do it. David Cameron announced we’ll welcome 20,000 more Syrian refugees. But there’s a catch. This will take 5 years, leaving thousands of refugees in limbo. It’s now up to us to show that in cities, towns and villages all across the country we’re ready to welcome people now. Aylan, the toddler who drowned fleeing Syria, was just three years old. His town was under attack by Isis. His five year old brother and his mum also died trying to reach safety.We don't want Britain to be the kind of country that turns its back as people drown in their desperation to flee places like Syria. So let's stand up for Britain's long tradition of helping refugees fleeing war. Let's show the Prime Minister that we, the people of the UK, are proud to do our part and provide refuge to people in their hour of need.

We want VODAFONE to recognise that Tilehurst Road in Cheam has NO requirement for an additional phone mast. Their proposal would mean a mobile phone mast with tree antennas at the top of it and a large 1.6m x 1.2m equipment cupboard would be placed just metres from Cheam Fields Primary school. In addition every single resident is either raising young children, venerable or quite simply very happy with their current coverage. As Vodafone advertise on their own website when you type in the postcode of the new proposed phobe mast that they have "excellent and 98% coverage in this area. WE DO NOT WANT THIS ON OUR DOORSTEPS and neither do the governors of Cheam Fielda Primary school.

According to Public Health England, the percentage of premature deaths attributable to minute particles known as PM2.5s rose to 5.3% in 2013 in England from 5.1% in 2012. The death rate in London rose to 6.7% from 6.6%. The figures follow significant improvements in air quality across England in 2010 and 2011. The figures were announced as scientists at King’s college London warned of “high” or “very high” particulate pollution across much of London and south-east England for a second day. Seems that this information is only available if you're in the know. Official government figures suggest 29,000 people die prematurely from air pollution a year across the UK from particle pollution emitted by vehicles, central heating systems and dust. Friends of the Earth said: “There must be proper public warnings when there are bad air pollution episodes like today’s - but rather than people having to restrict their activities it must be vehicles which are restricted so that people’s health is protected.” People with heart conditions or breathing problems were advised to reduce exercise and to stay at home. last 2 days

Councils across Scotland can not manage to keep services going without this tax being increased. All our services schools,hospitals,housing, and even refuse collection are suffering. Jobs are being lost,the country is imploding in on itself without money to work with.

Families especially those with small children in nappies cannot possibly go two weeks without overfilling a smaller General waste bin. There will be an increase in vermin as people will have bags of rubbish that won't fit in the bins in their gardens. Fly tipping will increase as people will just dump additional waste. Single person or couples only households would probably embrace having a smaller General waste bin, but for families it is just not a viable option.

The Landfill Communities Fund is at risk. The Landfill Tax A landfill tax was introduced in 1996 and has been very successful in reducing the amount of waste we send to landfill. It has been a big help in driving more recycling. The tax is paid by the waste companies who have contracts with local authorities and businesses. These Landfill Operators pay £84 per tonne of waste they deposit in the ground. And HM Treasury receives around £1.3 billion in tax revenues. The Landfill Communities Fund Most brilliantly of all, Landfill Operators can choose to re-direct part of their tax bill to local communities near landfill sites rather than paying it to the Treasury. In 2016-17 they can divert 90p of every £25 of tax they owe; so long as £1 goes to a community project. The local community normally fundraises for the missing 10p in every pound. To date, most Operators have jumped at the chance to do this and since 1996 local communities near landfill sites have been able to invest over £1.4 billion in 51,000 projects. These projects have had an amazing impact on Churches and Community groups: from building extensions to Churches, to providing resources to start-up play groups, to funding community wildlife projects, etc. there is no doubt that both our Churches and local communities are richer for the help they have received. HOWEVER the scheme is under threat. Urgent action is required to ensure local community projects don’t lose £39 million every year. The Threat The Government is proposing to change the legislation so that Community Groups are no longer allowed to pay the missing 10p. Instead only Landfill Operators would be allowed to pay this. This may seem a small detail but it would in fact close down the scheme as we know it. This is because the scheme is a voluntary one – and the cost to a Landfill Operator of having to find the 10p match funding would be significant. One major operator estimates this would amount to it having to find £500,000 of additional money each year. As a result, nearly all the main landfill operators have said they will not be able to find such money. They would therefore stop using the system of tax credits. Yet Churches and local community groups have found this missing 10p in the pound time and time again. Finding match funding has never been a barrier to spending from the Landfill Communities Fund - in fact it is already oversubscribed at least twofold. So, for no good reason, Churches and Community groups stand to lose millions (£39m in 2016-17 to be precise). And the country stands to lose a great ‘polluter pays’ scheme that is one of the biggest sources of funding for community projects. More Background In light of the economic conditions, the Treasury has been keen to ensure that the Landfill Community Fund is spent as quickly as possible - to pump money in to the economy. The Treasury therefore challenged Landfill Community Fund bodies to reduce the amount of grant funds they were holding in their banks. Most funders met the challenge, with a minority failing to largely because of funds committed for longer term projects not yet being released. But despite their efforts the Treasury’s overall spending target was not met. The Treasury was not happy and so last year HMRC ran a consultation asking for ideas for increasing the speed of spending. Some of respondents to the 2015 consultation highlighted the regulatory bureaucracy around the 10p for every pound they were finding. Others said it would be great not to have to fundraise for this 10p at all. No-one said they would prefer nothing to a 90% grant for their project. Yet these consultation responses are being used by the Treasury to justify the new proposals - proposals which would all but close down the scheme. How you can help Write to your local M.P. expressing your concern about the potential loss of the Landfill Communities Fund, asking your M.P. to raise this matter with the Exchequer Secretary of the Treasury, Damian Hinds M.P. urging him to allow local communities to continue to cover the 10% third party contribution. or Respond to the Treasury consultation on the statutory instrument, as proposed by HMRC and required to implement the changes. See https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/draft-legislation-the-landfill-tax-amendment-regulations-2016. The deadline is 3 February 2016. The clauses in the statutory instrument that related to this change that should be removed are – clauses 6,8(a,bii,biii,c,&d), 9 and 10.

Death is the one definite thing we are all guaranteed, and as time passes we forget this, dismissing it, as it becomes a far less common conversational topic. Bring this back into society to ease the blows of the inevitable and understand the painful truth.

It is established legal precedent that guilt has to be proved in a court of law, until that time innocence is assumed. Lord Bramall has suffered excessively purely as a result of the Metropolitan Police incompetence.

Over 1,550 jobs at Kingswood will be lost if Legal & General goes ahead with plans to close the flagship site in Kingswood, Surrey. Closure will have a devastating impact on the local community, costing millions. Many Legal & General workers in Kingswood are members of the trade union Unite, which has supported their campaign to defend jobs since the company first announced their intentions in 2015. The firm plan to close the site by the middle of 2018, citing cost cutting measures. This is despite L&G increasing operating profits in 2015 by 18% to £750 million. Shockingly Legal & General have neglected to carry out any research into the impact of closing Kingswood on the local community. An independent assessment commissioned by Unite has revealed that the closure will rip a devastating £21 million black hole in the local economy. This will be devastating for the local economy, threatening jobs in businesses and services in Kingswood and across the county. This flies in the face of Legal & General’s stated commitment to the long-term wellbeing of local communities. (Source: CLES Consulting, Centre for Local Economic Strategies, 2016)

Queen Square is one of the finest Georgian Squares in Europe and was restored with the help of the Heritage Lottery Fund in 2007. The idea was to re-establish “peace and breathing space” in this part of the city allowing us, our children and visitors to enjoy the tranquility, nature and freedom of the park. Since 2008 Bristol City Council have developed a programme of events and activities which now fully occupy the square from March through to late October. These events create a negative impact on the square, with increased risk to the park landscape and it’s heritage features. These events are also contrary to the original standards agreed with the Heritage Lottery Fund. The square now can only be used as a green park during the winter months effectively denying children, all Bristolians and visitors use of the park unless they are prepared to pay for the privilege during spring, summer and autumn. Erection and dismantling of these events turns the Georgian Square into a construction site. Restricting and preventing access to customers and employees of businesses on the square and neighbouring streets. Residents’ lives are blighted not only by the chaos and noise caused during the construction but also by noise & disturbance created by the events which continue until the early hours. We the Friends of Queen Square are asking Bristol City Council to reduce the number of events and restore Queen Square to a safe, quiet and peaceful haven that all Bristolians, local residents, businesses and visitors can enjoy throughout the year. We need YOUR SUPPORT! Please sign this petition and show local and wider community support for this initiative.
