The Department of Work and Pension (DWP) is sending out letters to those whose State pension is not paid into a Bank Account, Building Society or Credit Union. Those holding a Post Office account are being singled out. The DWP urges them to open a bank account so as to make it easier for the DWP to pay them. These letters that the DWP are sending are upsetting many pensioners. Many pensioners don’t live within easy reach of a bank, building society or credit union, particularly those in rural areas. Many live on limited means and the travel costs will be expensive for them. Bank accounts also incur charges. It could affect their food supplies, health and welfare if they are poor, sick or incapacitated. Whether because of their geographical situations, their physical and/or mental ailments or other personal reasons pensioners should have the right to receive their pensions where it best suits them - whether a Post Office, Bank Account, Building Society or Credit Union.

The no1 and no3 bus service is due to be discontinued leaving rural villages with elderly residents, working people and students without transport to Chelmsford town centre, Southend town centre and Rayleigh station. This isolates service users and stops transport to doctors surgeries, colleges, universities, train stations and hospitals.

Plastic is the great polluter of our age and there is no excuse to use items of plastic that are unnecessary or available in an environmentally friendly material

I have just had a breast cancer scare and have had to have alot of my breast removed and reconstructed and I'm 39. Whilst in hospital there were so many young women I see with breast cancer so it really is important to get the age for mammograms lowered. I was the youngest there at 39 and the oldest was 50. Since my scare I've had so many people on Facebook telling me their stories...They are all under 50 and some of their patents and sister's have died in their 40's. I'm sick of the hard working public that pay their taxes getting treated like this cos of all the cuts. It's time for us all to stand up and say our health comes first!! Big love to you all ❤❤❤

Not only will this have a devastating impact on the bank workers who are set to lose their jobs, these closures will also have a negative knock-on effect on the local communities of Hamilton, Larkhall, Airdrie, Tannochside, Bellshill and Stepps. Those who are older, in poor health, who cannot afford to travel further afield to do their banking, or who run small businesses will be hit hardest by these branch closures. RBS plan to close sixty-two branches across Scotland. Communities in the Central Scotland region are suffering from the combined impact of existing and proposed closures. Nearby branches in Lanarkshire and Glasgow have already closed.

Has a speeding vehicle affected you or those you know? About 1800 people die each year on the UK’s roads, and another 24,000 are seriously injured. Estimates suggest that these could be dramatically reduced by ISA - saving hundreds of lives every year and avoiding thousands of life changing injuries. We will not need every vehicle to have ISA to affect speeding, once a small proportion of vehicles are fitted they will slow down the ones behind them. After just a few years, action by Chris Grayling could save hundreds of lives For more information please read http://archive.etsc.eu/documents/ISA%20Myths.pdf.

This is important because there is lots of homeless woman or just woman in general who are having to spend an average of £3-5 a month just because the way woman are built biologically.

Racism and hatred are like cancer, they advance by incremental steps and poison democracy. The history of the 20th century proves this so, and we should have nothing to do with this most racist, mysogynistic, sexist, untruthful, undemocratic president that the USA has ever elected.

Effectively PayPal can do what they like including holding on to your money for 6 months and or associating your account to someone else’s without sufficient evidence to do so, the only way to challenge PayPal in the UK is via the financial ombudsman after 8weeks but only in relation to PayPal's terms and conditions not in relation to unethical practices and data protection breaches.

We cannot be seen to condone such disgraceful & evil behaviour, by just giving him a slap on the wrist! This is NOT ACCEPTABLE in the 21st Century & all Racism & Bigotry should NEVER been witnessed from a Countries Leader! President Trump is not welcome!

He is normalising hatred, inciting fear and interfering in UK politics. As allies, we need to make it clear that his behaviour is unacceptable and that, until he changes his position, he is unwelcome.
