We, the undersigned note with extreme concern : 1) That Stockport Council has put forward a proposal to terminate the Stockport Local Assistance Scheme, in order to make a budget cut in 2019-20 of £486,000. 2) That the Scheme offers support to meet emergency needs, such as when someone has no food, clothing or gas and electric for their home and it provides practical support to persons moving on from temporary accommodation, through provision of furniture, beds and essential household items. 3) That the Council's proposal comes at a time when Professor Alston, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty and Human Rights, has reported that : "14 million people, a fifth of the population, live in poverty. Four million of these are more than 50% below the poverty line, and 1.5 million are destitute" and Stockport Foodbank states that 1 in 5 children in the Borough live in homes below the poverty threshold. 4) That the Council's proposal comes at a time when Universal Credit is being rolled out in Stockport, bringing with it all the well documented effects of increased hardship and increased debt. 5) That this proposed cut, hitting the poorest people in the Borough, comes just a few months after the Council declared a budget surplus of £4.7 million for the 2017-18 financial year. 6) That the Council's own Equality Impact Assessment on the proposal reveals that 36% of the awards from the Scheme, in the last 3 years, went to people in the Borough's poorest ward, Brinnington & Central, whilst only 0.4% went to people in the wealthiest ward, in Bramhall. We, the undersigned believe that it is morally repugnant and wrong for the plight of the poorest people in the Borough to be worsened by this cut being targeted upon them. We, the undersigned demand that the Council withdraws the proposal to terminate the Stockport Local Assistance Scheme and instead that the Council ensures that the Scheme continues and that the funding of it is increased where necessary as needs become greater.

We need to reduce Climate change and the UK needs to play it’s part in doing so and offer an alternative to taking the car every where we go. The government want’s us to chance our vehicles away from Diesel and Petrol at our expense with very little or no incentive to do so.

To work on in the Aviation industry as a Aircraft Maintenance Engineer you are required to hold either an A or B licence. For many years Brighton MET formally Northbrook College (Shoreham Campus) ran the EASA 'A' Licencing programme through part 147. Recently, MET decided to shut down the courses due to a series of unfortunate events. We are petitioning to reinstate the course.

The option to invest in Early Help Services and keep all children's centres open should be considered now that a decision on the unitary authority has been made. With the council said to make savings of £18.2m per year (Net 5 year revenue of £45.4m) when the new authority is formed, the decision should be delayed until then. By closing all 35 children’s centres, the Council wish to make a saving of £3.1m in early help overall. However, if they are saving £18.2m per year with the unitary, then why not wait until this is in place and look at investing in Early Help services to improve them? All options on the current consultation involve making cuts and are inadequate. In addition, there is no 'other' option (see question 18 consultation) when having to decide what their preferred choice is, people are feeling as if they have been forced to chose an option they don't necessarily agree with. Investing in children, prevention and health will lead to savings overall and in the long run. Closing children’s centres in the long run will affect children, their families and could lead to isolation and an increase in mental health issues.

A very successful cooking class for the elderly was set up some 2 years ago and has a list of folks wishing to join the class . But apparently a decision was taken to cancel any future classes , although after some pressure they decided to allow us to have one class before the end of December 2018 .

To help to prevent food poisoning. In Wales establishments try to gain a 5 rating. There is no reall incentive in English restraunts to try to improve as most customers are not aware of the ratings food outlets have.

Us and our families drink celery juice every morning for its healing properties and use 2-4 bunches each per day. Between us that is 2,920 packets thrown away a year, minimum. Most of our celery is bought from Sainsbury's and if they stop putting it in plastic we will commit to buying all our celery from them , as will our families and encouraging our followers to do so also as we are documenting our healing via social media and a blog. Of all the all the Americans we see posting about juicing, their celery is always tied with string in the stores so why in the UK are we causing ours to sweat in plastic and damaging our environment in such a catastrophic way?!

We have heard plenty from those unhappy with measures intended to improve air quality. The council needs to know there are also many people who support cleaner air for Bath, even if it does come at the price of some personal cost or inconvenience.

It is important because this kind of behaviour needs to be stopped asit is disgusting, unnecessary and intimidates and frightens those who are victims of it. It dters me from walking places on my own because of how disturbing this kind of behaviour is to me. In particular, me and many other girls I know have been victim of wolf whistling and unwanted vehicle horn beeping whilst walking home from school - very obviously underage in our school uniforms.

It is important because it is their future aswell. Why is it fair that the senior generation gets to decide on a future when the younger generation is gonna live through it for longer

Despite being key to the effort to break the Nazi ‘Enigma’ code in World War Two, and in doing so also being fundamental to the development of computing worldwide, Turing was shoddily treated by his country. He was arrested and charged with offences because he was homosexual - for which he has subsequently (and posthumously) pardoned, but was also given chemicals in order to prevent his sexual desire (chemical castration). He committed suicide on June 7, 1954. The UK, Europe, the Far East and indeed the world, owe Turing and his colleagues a debt of gratitude. This would go a little way in further repaying this debt.
