It's important because so many people are being penalised for following the law but parliament and the police are on completely different pages and giving justified good people the correct information on knife law. So everyone knows where they stand and this is not open to debate. A universal UK no quibble knife law would protect people and defer the people who use these knives in vicious attacks with no question as to what they have done and what the punishment would be.

Allows Disabled people to get around more easily.

The United Kingdom is in accelerating decline and HM Government has no credible plans or vision to reverse its fortunes

It is important if not critical that mental health should be taught in schools. If children are taught how to look after their mental health, it will a dramatic impact on their wellbeing. Children are increasingly under a lot of stress and come from homes and situations that means that their mental health is bad. If a child knows how to look after their mind it will be easier for them to look after themselves as adults and make less damaging choices. Crime rates will fall, adults relying on mental health medication will drop and addiction will drop also. Investing in a child's mental health is a long term investment that will benefit everyone in the future.

So many secondary schools across the UK put this on families every year, demanding they have expensive branded uniform, which is completely unnecessary. Primary schools cope without anything branded so why should secondary be any different? It's time to stop this financial burden completely. We need branded items to be an ABSOLUTE MINIMUM. One item, a blazer/jumper/hoodie for their day to day uniform and one item for PE kit, unless they want to compete for the school.

Roads & lanes have become dangerous, run ups & run offs on the motorway have become a dumping ground for the lazy who won't take their rush home.

Currently an strategic idea exists, but we need to show there is a local demand to raise the project's profile to change a strategic idea into construction. Although a 30mph road exists between Woodbury and Woodbury Salterton, it is very busy, especially during rush hours with cars frequently speeding on the narrow lanes, making it not safe for cyclists, walkers or horse riders. With a schools, pubs and other attractions in each village, we should be encouraging trips by foot/bike/horse, rather then defaulting to the car. The link would also help link up with the wider cycle network. The recently improved Rydon Lane link to the Exe Estuary cycle route and future plans to connect towards Crealy. There is no fixed proposal for a route, but the indicative route would be to leave Woodbury by the allotments, heading north to Bond's Lane. An unused sunken lane exists, which is one possibility to upgrade, but no fixed route has been agreed. Once on Bond's Lane, the route would follow the existing low traffic lane into Village Road in Woodbury Salterton. This petition isn't to decide on a route, but try to understand how popular the path might be, to generate support to hopefully speed up its petition.

Mile Oak Library has been told it must permanently close its doors on 21 July 2023 as part of council wide saving cuts. Whilst low visitor numbers have been given as justification for the closure these are the result of library opening hours structured around the needs of the school it is now based in rather than that of the community, limiting its accessibility and the activities that can take place there. This decision removes the only remaining community space and essential family educational resource from an area with significant levels of depravation. Libraries are essential community spaces and the closure of any public library should be opposed by everyone who cares about communities, families and education.

Why is this important? Redcatch Park is the hub of the community with hundreds of people of all ages, from small children, famillies and the elderly using it for sport, play, walking and socialising. It is essential for their physical and mental wellbeing. It is only popular following years of hard work by volunteers but now needs essential funding for some major improvements, especially as the nearby development will see a huge increase in use.

It is vital that provision for health and social care should be vastly improved

We need to ensure the deal - which is ready to go - gets signed. Horizon allows scientists to work on protecting bees and build upon work from the Covid vaccine to protect us from future health emergencies. If we want a better future, this type of research is vital. 15 Nobel Prize winners and scientists across the UK are asking the Prime Minister to sign the deal. If he rejects it, that compromises the future of science in Britain. That’s why we need to put pressure on Rishi Sunak to put pen to paper.

We need to be free to live and work on, move through, and deliver to Walkley Road safely and easily. We deserve streets which create community, not chaos.
