American veterans children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great great grandchildren, as well as the Vietnamese people in the same generations, have been born with a vast variety of birth defects and also suffer far higher rates of cancer. Agent Orange corrupts the DNA for five generations from first contact. We are victims of war who have gone unrecognised, from the grandchild of an American soldier who suffered terribly and died of cancer, the child of a soldier with no quality of life from birth defects, and the many Vietnamese who have suffered terribly, none of whom were involved in the Vietnam War willingly. In addition, the toll taken on the environment from the use of Agent Orange is almost impossible to calculate. Innocent humans and the earth itself have been poisoned by this act of chemical warfare. We deserve recognition.

It is absolutely ridiculous that we are a first world country so committed to fighting climate change on all levels and yet it is cheaper to fly from Scotland to London than it is to get the train. I have a friend who lives near Birmingham. She couldn't afford to get the train back to Scotland for university and instead flew, which was much cheaper. It wasn't even easier or less time consuming once she had made it to the airport, checked in, waited for the flight, boarded, flew, got through the other end and made the rest of the journey by train and bus. However, it was cheaper. You may also have heard the story of the guy for whom it was cheaper to fly to Barcelona, spend the night and fly back to his university city than it was just to get the train. WHY are train journeys so expensive when they should be the cheapest way to get around the country? WHY do we keep saying we're trying to improve the climate situation but are taking actions that directly affect it in more ways than one. And WHY does the government keep ignoring this? They're in denial and it's time we took radical action to actually change the way the country functions.

The toilets that are being closed were considered necessary in the past when the population of Tendring was smaller, now it has increased. It is a basic human right to be able to use a toilet when one needs to, residents with health issues like IBS and prostate problems are being denied that basic human right along with postmen and women, other mobile workers and holiday makers. The impact on health of being made to wait to use a toilet, is well documented and the fear of not being able to find a toilet in time is increasing social isolation and loneliness amongst vulnerable people, this is turn leads to more health problems. Tendring District Council should now use the money that they have gained from land sales of the existing toilet closures to build new facilities, the residents of Tendring do not accept that this is not possible

There are no play areas close to this vicinity and there are so many families with young children in this area. It would help socialise the area, making a safe and exciting play area for preschool and school children. This will help stop the parents having to drive to play areas such as Canbury Gardens which are already too busy and therefore also help reduce pollution and congestion.

Removing the free fortnightly garden waste bin collection covered by the householders council tax payment to allegedly save funds is going to cause additional costs. With householders being charged to collect garden waste from their homes it will encourage fly tipping of the garden waste in other locations. This will then require additional resources to manage and clean the area affected with this new fly tipping problem. There will still be a kerbside collection of garden waste, presently collected with the existing garden waste. It appears counterproductive to cancel part of a service when the refuse collection trucks will still be visiting the houses.

We engage ourselves with this invisible world, and it's up to us to ethically make right choices. We need to think about the people who have to make this cotton, and the environments where they are made.

This needs to happen for such as: the concrete is uneven and ramps are losing screws (which makes it a hazard for all users. Furthermore, the skatepark is very restricting and is very dense when people are there, this problem could be solved by expanding into the free and unused area of land around it. We believe they should relay the concrete so it is level and smooth, replace the old, rusting and hazardous ramps with new concrete ramps which won’t rust or cause danger to any users.

Brits are being banned from travelling to Rojava under the Counter-Terrorism & Border Security Act, even though the UK is part of the International Coalition against ISIS, which relied on Rojava throughout its campaign. 8 British heroes, including Anna Campbell, lost their lives volunteering with YPG & YPJ in the fight against jihadi terrorism. The bravery and sacrifice of these volunteers should be honoured. Far from being an ISIS stronghold, Rojava is a beacon of women’s resistance against the oppressive jihadist mentality, and a grassroots, direct-democratic alternative to the brutal regimes which rule elsewhere in the Middle East. This law must be scrapped, so British volunteers can keep joining the struggle to eradicate ISIS' mentality, without facing ten-year jail sentences. Fighting for a better world is not a crime!

Public toilets serve a basic human need and lack of them can add to the problems already seen in the collapse of the high street. people with bladder or bowel conditions will not venture out. Towns become less attractive and tourism will falter. Most major cities in England no longer provide any public toilets. a few authorities provide a community toilet scheme but these depend on the goodwill of businesses and on their opening hours. Apart from tourist towns public conveniences are now rare.

This is important to ensure the safety of pupils attending Hollickwood School, as well as for parents, staff and local residents. We consider these measures to be required urgently to prevent a serious incident. It has been consistently witnessed that cars travel down Sydney Road at unsafe speeds. As they are travelling down a hill cars pick up speed and do not seem to be aware that there is a school and a large number of children and families who cross this road regularly. A residents cat was recently hit and killed by a car and our children have said that they do not want it to be them next. There have been several deaths in the local area due to pedestrian and car collisions, a child was killed by a car not far away in East Finchley just days ago. As a school we are doing everything we can to promote road safety and ensure that all of our children understand how to be safe when travelling and crossing roads. We call upon the Council to do what they can also.

We believe in a better safer community for the residents of east bowling.

The residents on Ashland have had issues with people parking their cars inconsiderately for a long time now. This causes problems to people who are either with pushchairs or have to use mobility aids to gain access to the pathways around the estate estate leaving them vulnerable to be hit by a car when they have to go on the road to pass a car parked illegally. We also have a huge issue whenever there are football matches or other events on at the stadium MK, where people park on footpath‘s, blocking people‘s driveways or on the corner of roads and verges. This is becoming dangerous and there have been so many near misses to the most vulnerable who live on our estate. Pavements are not designed to have cars half or fully parked on, this will eventually cause the pavements to break and potholes appear. The estate has been built with adequate parking. Parking in a footpath is illegal either half or fully is illegal. So we are requesting that the council put in the regulation to stop this issue. So we can live in a safe estate.
