  • Get great Stirling Run up and running again!
    Scotland has one of the poorest health care statistics in Europe. The Great Stirling Run inspired people from around the country to get fit and achieve a goal. Stirling is easy to get to from all areas of Scotland and has clean air, unlike some of the traffic heavy cities which other events are held in. Young people from locally and beyond are proud of the runners they know who participated and were hoping to achieve this event in the future themselves. Please support this campaign to get Great Run Company to rethink their action. Dates which do not clash with VLM and the Kiltwalk would enable the GSR to flourish in the future. Don’t let bad organisation get in the way of a fantastic and inspiring event!

  • Traffic Calming or an Improved Footpath on the bridge on Delph New Road opposite Ladcastle Road
    There is no barrier between pedestrians and traffic on the bridge, the footpath on this bridge is too narrow for prams, wheelchairs, for two people to pass or to hold a child's hand. There is only one narrow footpath on one side which is at points only 60cm wide and too narrow for most prams and wheelchairs and only accommodates walking single file so a child has to walk either in front or behind an adult. This is very close to Dobcross' only primary school and to therefore part of the school journey for a number of residents. In order to pass the narrowest parts, you have to lift the pram wheels off the kerb and into the road; two people cannot cross at the same time without one having to walk on the road. There have been a number of potentially very serious near misses on this stretch of road recently including: A council bin lorry mounting the kerb centimetres in front of a pram; a double decker bus mounting the kerb metres in front of a family on the path; wingmirrors of passing cars hitting the arms of pedestrians; a child's head almost being hit by the wing mirror of a car. We need to address this stretch of road before somebody, a young child, gets killed or seriously hurt.

  • A default 20mph speed limit for Dobcross
    The high speed of traffic passing through the village of Dobcross is a major concern for residents. There have been a number of serious traffic accidents and near misses recently and traffic speed was the number 1 concern raised by residents in the recent Neighbourhood Plan (2017/8). Residents are particularly concerned about trying to cross roads in the face of high speed traffic and walk alongside roads next to high speed traffic and also in places where there is no or very narrow footpaths. There are no safe places for people to cross, especially the young and vulnerable. 20mph is safer than 30mph-we need safer streets and roads in Dobcross.

  • Zero Emission 100% Electric Cars
    Fact: The gas fueled, internal combustion cars typically driven by Europeans have deteriorated our environment. Think About It: Global warming can be halted with the zero emission 100% Electric Vehicles (EVs) that are made with NiMH batteries whose use is currently being suppressed by Chevron Oil Corporation. Fact: GM has been given $50Billion worth of our tax payer bail out money. Think About It: In 1996, GM had the car of the century, the EV1. The EV1 ran due to the NiMH battery patents acquired by Chevron Oil Corporation. GM crushed ALL OF THEIR CARS shortly thereafter. Why are our tax dollars paying to bail out our automotive industry when our same tax dollars paid for the invention of the NiMH batteries? Fact: In 2005 alone Chevron grossed over $125 Billion (Up 35% from 2004). Think About It: “?” Think About It: The NiMH battery technology is proven with the past ten years of high performance of Toyota RAV 4 EVs made with NiMH batteries. Why waste more of our tax dollar money on technology we already have? Wouldn’t that money be better spent on our ailing health care system? Think About It: The government has exercised Eminent Domain and /or Compulsory Licensing during much less desperate times and for purposes serving much less of the greater good. Yes, it comes at a price, but the amount paid to Chevron would be much less than ongoing cost of Reign of Big Oil. Think About It: What was this war all about? Why are our soldiers dying to preserve Iraqi Oil Fields when we have the battery patents to an emission free, alternative energy technology RIGHT NOW!

  • inflight carbon-offset announcements
    This is of existential importance because we are experiencing a climate crisis, to which airlines contribute on a massive scale. Countless people who fly are unaware of offset programs. This is one small way of fighting global warming, which can be instituted immediately, without cost to airlines.

  • Close the HE attainment gap in psychology
    We consider that such a statement backed up by transparency and practical action is timely for The Society as it is both in keeping with the structural shift in the BPS to be explicitly member supporting, and is also aligned the theme of this years very well received annual conference: 'The Psychology of Inequality'. As members of a professional body that accredits both undergraduate and post-graduate degrees in psychology this initiative is in an area where we can bring our influence to bear to improve equalities in the UK. We would call for us to model the level of transparency required to make these changes to mitigate the current loss of potential and also document the extent to which our codes of practice and professional requirements to justice, fairness and ethics are adhered to across the institutions we accredit.

  • Bring back public service announcements
    As a child I remember the impact these announcements had on me and many others from my generation. Shocking as they were the impact was instant and effective. This is a very powerful form of advertising and creating these as realistic as possible can only have a scary, yet positive effect on current issues such as knife crime. The country is shaking their heads for solutions, the police are at their wits end and the government are far too slow to respond to this epidemic. We need to educate and reinforce the eternal damage caused by these crimes. Stop pussy footing around trying to protect people and give them a stark, reality shock. Bring back public service announcements.

  • Personal Independence Payments for Over 65s
    Over 65s are as likely if not more likely to need these payments as their younger counterparts. As people get older their joints and body become less able to cope with public transport especially if they have disabilities, but they also need to be able to remain independent in order to maintain their quality of life.

  • Vital NHS Phone Calls Are Being Blocked!
    The telephones of NHS GP Surgeries and Talking Matters (which deals with mental health issues) in Northumberland have changed to using withheld numbers, which means that many people with urgent medical issues are missing vital calls; this is because if you use BT Call Protect - which blocks many nuisance calls - NHS calls are blocked too! The NHS seems totally disinterested in rectifying this problem; meanwhile I have missed several important medical calls and have even been discharged from Talking Matters after waiting over a month for a telephone appointment because "Your phone won't accept withheld numbers". I wasn't told about this beforehand and no apology or explanation was necessary, apparently. (In many places locally mobile phones simply don't work.)
