• LETS BRING AN ICESKATING RINK TO NORWICH, UK
    An iceskating rink would be a perfect idea for local residents and a tourist attraction. The local icerink from Norwich is in Peterbourough (1 hour 38 minutes.) This is inconvenient for those who wish to bond with family, spend time with community due to it being too far to travel.

  • SAVE OUR GUARDS
    This is important because of health and safety issues - what if someone is having a heart attack on board and no guard to offer assistance, if the train is involved in an accident there needs to be a guard to asisst the driver etc,,,,etc,,,,etc Some fantastic news is my local parliamentarian Jeff Smith MP for Withington, Manchester is supporting this campaign, here is his message:- Dear Prince Frederick, Thank you for contacting me recently about increasing rail fares, service cuts, and staff reductions on the UK rail network. I believe that our railways are a vital public service and I agree that it is deeply concerning that rail fares increased 3.4% in January 2018. This staggering increase is the biggest fare rise in the last five years, and I am concerned that it is making rail travel unaffordable for many people. Pricing passengers off the railway threatens the sustainability of the network as a whole, and I believe the Government should cap rail fares with the consumer price index to provide clarity on pricing. As you are aware, the RMT has been campaigning against the expansion of Driver Only Operation (DOO) services and cuts to staffing across the rail network. I agree that the Government should halt the expansion of DOO services and stop cutting jobs across the railway industry to ensure that staffing levels remain safe at all times. I am committed to prioritising public service over private profit, which is why the manifesto I stood on at the 2017 General Election pledged to bring our railways back into public ownership. I believe this would allow us to provide passengers with real benefits, such as capped fares and free Wi-Fi across the rail network. I am confident that taking back control of our railways would provide tangible benefits for the rail users across the UK. I believe our fragmented, privatised railway has driven up costs and left passengers paying more for less. Furthermore, I am concerned that the Government has the wrong priorities for the railway, as it has chosen to award Stagecoach and Virgin a £2 billion taxpayer bailout, at the same time as implementing the steepest fares hike in five years, de-staffing trains and pulling promised investment. Thank you again for making me aware of your views on this issue. I can assure you that I will continue to fight for a properly funded railway run in the public interest, with fair fares and adequate staffing. Yours sincerely, Jeff Smith MP for Manchester Withington 0161 445 0678 (Manchester Withington Office) Unit 1, Withington Fire Station, 505-507 Wilmslow Road, Withington, M20 4AW 0207 219 5878 (office in Parliament) House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA

  • Get supermarkets to use paper bags instead of plastic!
    Im sure we've all heard of the huge inpact our use of plastic and especially single use plastics is having on our environment. Destroying natural habitats for many species of animals and microparticles getting into the food chain via fish. If this isn't enough you only have to look at the pictures of beaches littered by plastics that ends up in our oceans. We need to do our upmost to protect our planet and the species we have left. A simple way to do this would be for supermarkets to use paper bags or recycled cardboard boxes they have from packaging, in place of any type of plastic bags. In addition fruit and vegetables that are packaged in plastic bags and sold at a reduced cost, could easily be sold loose as a certain weight for the same cost, that customers can put into paper bags or there own tubs from home. Paper bags take a month to decompose as opposed to 5 -10 years of plastic counterparts. Get supermarkets to change now!

  • Recycling facilities for all
    Recycling is an important factor in protecting our planet from the impact that we are having on it, it enables us to use products such as plastics and glass safe in the knowledge that it won't hinder our wildlife and areas of natural beauty. If individuals do not have access to recycling facilities and they do not drive they will be unable to recycle despite their convictions.

  • Proscribe the EDL
    The rise of the far right leads our nation into darkness. The right to free speech cannot include the use of violence at rallies and demonstrations

  • Celebrate Religious Diversity
    Christians are officially the most persecuted minority in the world at the moment, Jews have a long and painful history of persecution and Islamophobia is prevalent in our society. It would be wonderful for SE railway to start conversations amongst customers and colleagues by demonstrating how much all of these groups have in common. It would also combat religious illiteracy which is leading to intolerance in our society.

  • Bus service for residents on the quay and Riverside view
    The Riverside view estate is quite isolated and can be dangerous to walk to and from. With the wagons that speed down the quay with no obvious speed limit indicated and the industrial estate behind is a hazard to walk through. The nearest bus service is the 11 from the marsh which is 15-20 minute walk away, or a 35 minute walk into the town centre which can be issue for young families, people who are unable to drive, disabled and the elderly.

  • Make UK government recognise same-sex relationships in divorce law
    Currently, if you enter a same-sex affair, whether you are in a heterosexual marriage or a same-sex one, the affair is not considered adultery. This is because the UK law around this does not recognise a same-sex relationship in the same way it recognises a heterosexual one. This is not equality.

  • Gambling adverts on tv and everywhere on the internet
    It's important because they are using techniques which give you a little and take a whole lot more back like a stereotypical drug dealer offering you a little try to get you to buy into it... I believe it's a scam and only destruction can come from it to the majority.
