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.

Education in prison provides so much more than knowledge. It can, as a friend said to me, be a pathway to discovery. Education should underpin any plans for reform and rehabilitation. This has to start at the top. Provide the pay that will see those wishing to go to education, but can't afford to, the same opportunities as those that can. How can there be a class divide of life chances in prison?

Allow the Adhan (Call To Prayer) to be said out loud from the Masjids (Mosques) during the holy month of Ramadan.

This is extremely important to myself as I suffer from anxiety and my oldest son suffers with extreme anxiety and on occasion low mood. I had to fight for years, constantly taking my son to his gp just to receive an initial referal for him. He is currently being seen through CAMHS, where is he supposed to be seen on a fortnightly basis, however he hasn't had an appointment since November! I have contacted CAMHS on a number of occasions to be told he is still an active member on their list, however, they cannot tell me when his next appointment will be. This has left my son and myself feeling frustrated, deflated and we feel we have nowhere else to turn for support. As a sufferer of anxiety myself, I know how awful it feels and how it gets in the way of your day to day life, but for a child this must be unbearable. There is no worse feeling as a parent trying your best for your children but not knowing how to help them. In my area alone, the suicide rate has almost tripled in the past few years. I find this figure to be extremely alarming as it shows just how extreme the impact of mental health can have on people. Most of these people taking their own lives are kids....our children and the next generation. Our kids are living in a world where so much is expected of them, and the pressure to fit in and do well in life clearly shows it can all be too much for them. We need to end the stigma relating to mental health and we need to teach our children it's ok to talk about their feelings and it's ok to feel overwhelmed at times. I was deeply shocked and concerned to see the handful of MPs who attended the debate just earlier this month regarding the issue of child mental health. If our MPs are not going to take this matter seriously and fight for our children then we must. It's about time they realised how important this issue is as the problem is growing and growing year by year.
