Something needs to be done about the business rates in the town. We can’t lose Debenhams in our town and more shops. The rot in our high street needs fixing

It is a violation against these creatures. Research shows that these animals are dying very quickly (usually within a week). Animals should not be restricted of their freedom this way. They are living things not fashion accessories!

Pretty much everybody who has had the assessment has ended up with ' 0 points ', but head injury is not like usual disibility. Most people who have suffered a brain injury can walk & talk etc & come across as normal at first contact. We all have memory and concentration problems & an extreme lack of motivation, unable to cope with stress or confrontation, amongst other problems that I can't actually think of off hand, which makes us basically unemployable. It is so stressful resulting in people giving up or going into extreme depression, often resulting in the unthinkable. I myself had to leave my home in Leeds & move close to family for help & support. It took a couple of years to get things sorted & I was given over £4000 in back pay cos they realised they were wrong in their decision - 8 months later I had to go for another assessment, exactly the same results & my ESA stopped again. Unfortunately the Dr at my surgery that was a specialist in head injury & helped to get the decision reversed has left & the disibility hub in Redhill which also helped, has closed. I can't cope with things myself so have left it cos the last thing I want is to go into a depression again, which unfortunately is inevitable. Thanx to Llidl & charity shops I can still live to a bearable standard, but we are talking about living on £10 a week for food & spending a lot of time at my mum's, especially during winter because at home I rarely have the heating on, cos I simply wouldn't be able to afford it. If anything could be done to make the government aware of the problems they have caused it really would be appreciated Thanx Stacey Godsell

Edinburgh Airport recently submitted a new attempt to more than double the number of flights per hour by changing the airspace rules aircraft depart and arrive under. https://airspacechange.caa.co.uk/PublicProposalArea?pID=163 This is detrimental to the local environment in other ways too. With no limits on night flights, local residents may find themselves woken early or suffering sleep disturbance. The scientific evidence is now beyond challenge. Burning fossil fuels is causing a rise in global temperatures which threatens the survival of many species, and many humans as well. Edinburgh's proposal would take their peak departure rate from about 20 per hour, to about 50, representing 6,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emission per departure hour. Assuming 12 hours equivalent per day that's 26 million tonnes of emissions per year from increased flights from Edinburgh. At a time when the world has realised we must take dramatic action to reduce carbon emissions to zero as quickly as possible, airport expansion is the wrong thing to do. Lack of sleep has been shown to speed up aging and cause psychiatric and physical illnesses. (See Martin Walker, amongst others.)

How many times have you forgot your carrier bags when out shopping and had to buy more adding to the loads you already have at home ? People hoard carrier bags because they are afraid to throw them away because they care what happens to them afterwards . This would enable people to take their excess bags to the supermarket to be re-used by forgetful customers. Bags would be used again and again and would completely eliminate sales of new bags , lets face it there's enough in circulation to last years we just aren't managing it properly.

Every parents worst nightmare is their child being hit by a car. The segway karts are seriously leathal and accidents waiting to happen due to how low to the ground they are and not supplied with a flag for bikes cars and trucks to see them. This is a very serious concern and these products are not supplying safety features with the items

As fans, it is not enough to just acknowledge the obvious impact we have on match days but we are the soul at all levels of our sport. We want a voice in any further developments in our national sport. Without the unique atmosphere we generate, the suits would have no product to sell to potential sponsors, investors, partners, tv and the usual chancers that will be attracted to our sport. So, let us start with an obvious and immediate national issue, which is at the top of all Welsh Rugby fans wish list. SHAUN EDWARDS, the best defensive coach in the world is still NOT tied to a new contract after the World Cup. This is a fluid situation and it does not matter what has happened in past months. All that matters, is that we show this true and honourable man, that we, as Welsh fans appreciate him, his principles and the way he conducts himself. This guy is an absolute gift to the players, the management team and Welsh Rugby. His contribution to our team is clear to see and evident in how they respond as one to his coaching and leadership. Warren may well deserve a lot of the plaudits but when he was on his sabbaticals, Shaun Edwards was the clear and obvious continuity in the team. So, with a radical change due after the World Cup, if there is an opportunity for stability in the planned progressive change of style with a new coach, then we must grab it without hesitation. Wayne Pivac is a great choice as our new coach but he has no experience of international rugby, nor do any of his newly selected coaching staff, except for Neil. In this fluid environment, the Scarlets performances are almost the polar opposite, of those for which he was selected to lead our team post Gatland. If the abject defensive performance of his team on the 23 March 2019 against the Cardiff Blues, does not raise serious concerns, then all the great work our National team has delivered so far, could quickly dissolve as well. The answer is easy, even for the WRU….. Offer Shaun Edwards a deal he cannot resist and leave the rest to us. We will show him how much we want him to stay and deep down, he already knows that no matter what other offers he may well receive… Nothing, absolutely nothing, can compare to the embracing support we all show him at every match. He will find it very, very hard not to want to continue to be part of this experience and that unique adrenaline rush at our ‘Stadium’ (whether the roof is on or off) You can’t buy this total, loyal support to OUR team and if we do nothing, the suits will as usual, take the easy option and allow things to slip by. So SIGN UP and show that spine tingling wave of support for Uncle Shaun and inspire the WRU to act NOW…Diolch.

It is a fantastic way of communicating between school and home, the kids love it parents love it and it is safe secure way of keeping parents in the loop with what's going on, and fact that videos and pictures can be exchanged over class dojo and out with social media is a massive bonus

In recent days fires have been raging on the surrounding moors damaging the sensitive ecology , using up valuable resources, threatening peoples' property, quality of life and livelihoods. Suggestions have been made that some of these have been started by the misuse of disposable BBQs. I would like to see more local authority endorsed encouragement given to locals and visitors to instead take a picnic (and responsibly removing their own litter) whilst simultaneously educating them about the fire risk posed by even sensible use of disposable BBQs near the moors.

The use of palm oil as an ingredient is one of the biggest causes of deforestation. Deforestation is one of the biggest preventable causes of climate change. Signs on packaging will allow people to make an informed choice. Changing consumer habits will reduce palm oil use and market forces will do the rest. Rain forests and orangutan habitats will be saved and felled trees can be replanted.

Many university students - especially in London - can only sign a six months' lease on a shared flat or house. And when the lease comes up for renewal at the end of the six months, they find that greedy private landlords have put the rent up. If they can't afford the new rent, they are forced to move on. Renting for students in this day and age is not a pretty process. My grand-daughter has been forced to move house three times in eighteen months, causing her considerable hassle and distress and financial loss for hiring a van to move her stuff. This is a frightening, destabilising and depressing process that no student should have to endure. Every university student should have the right to establish a secure home-away-from-home with their friends. Those of us parents and grandparents who have to watch our young people being taken advantage of by greedy landlords will not accept that this is the new norm. So, James Brokenshire, will you act now to stop this six-months'-lease scam and give every student the chance of at least a twelve-months secure tenancy?

Local housing provision is in crisis, more should be done to put the housing needs of local people first. Successive councils have failed to do this and have encouraged developments that have served the local population poorly.
