Benefits include increased safety for cyclists and pedestrians, more community involvement, less crime and much better physical and mental health. Cycling and walking increases, children are more independent, there is less traffic so better bus flow, and there is a 12% reduction in fuel consumption and pollution and CO2. Research has proven journey times are not increased, as most delays are at junctions and with 20 limits there is less stopping and starting. It is very popular, 80% of people want slow speeds. It is a step towards Net Zero, and 50 in 10, that is 50% cycling in 10 years.

Traffic Calming Measures: Implementing speed bumps, signage, temporary bollards and other traffic calming measures will slow down vehicles, discouraging reckless driving and creating a safer environment for everyone. "Whittingham parents & residents have raised concerns about unsafe driving, parking and idling. Despite the measures we have already put in place to keep our children safe, this problem persists. As a school we welcome the support of the Healthy Streets for Higham Hill & Lloyd Park initiative. We want to work together to create a safe environment for all our children and reduce the risk of accidents. With yours an their support we know that any changes we can make will not only protect the lives of our pupils but also increase the number of families travelling to school sustainably by walking or cycling. This can only help to increase the already strong sense of community at Whittingham and promote cooperation and consideration between all road users. - Miss Thompson, Principal These measures will provide the following benefits: Enhanced Safety: Our children will be protected from accidents and injuries caused by dangerous driving and obstructive parking. Reduced negative impart on health: Improving poor air quality caused by idling vehicles outside the school gates at the busiest periods. Encouraging Healthy Habits: By creating a safe environment, more families will be encouraged to choose walking or cycling as a means of transportation, promoting a healthier and environmentally-friendly lifestyle. We kindly request your support by signing this petition to demonstrate the urgent need for these safety measures. Together, we can make a difference and ensure the safety and well-being of our children.

Public and private bodies have a duty to keep us safe from harm and protect our lives, but every year hundreds of people die preventable deaths in state custody or care. These include deaths of people in police and prison custody, mental health settings and following disasters including at Grenfell and Hillsborough. In response, the public and bereaved families need transparency, accountability and action, so that changes are made to protect us and our families and prevent future deaths. Hundreds of vital recommendations are made following inquests and inquiries. Yet there is no system in place to oversee them or ensure changes are made. Potentially life-saving recommendations are too often forgotten, dismissed or simply not implemented. This leads to yet more preventable deaths and harms. The current gap in the system has serious implications for bereaved families. It also undermines public trust in the UK’s investigatory framework and has a significant human and financial cost. Support INQUEST and the bereaved families standing alongside us in calling for this change, to help protect lives. "The only thing that makes sense of the loss of your loved one is that maybe lessons will be learned and the same thing will not happen to someone else." - Andy McCulloch, father of Colette McCulloch

We should all be able to trust our elected members of parliament, particularly a prime minister.

Up to 1.4 million people are addicted to gambling in the UK and every day someone takes their life because of gambling. The gambling industry spends £1.5 billion on advertising and marketing every year and studies show a clear link between exposure to gambling advertising and increased gambling. But the Government’s recent gambling white paper took no action on gambling ads, allowing them to continue to swamp television and radio broadcasts as well as appear relentlessly across newspapers and the internet. In June, the Guardian newspaper decided to stop gambling advertising across all its platforms after concerns about “the pervasive nature of retargeted digital advertisements that trap a portion of sports fans in an addictive cycle.” We need other media outlets and their staff in the UK to step up and stop making money out of misery. We’re asking all UK broadcasters, newspapers and online media outlets, as well as well-known individuals and celebrities, to stop advertising harmful gambling products across all your platforms. It’s only a matter of time before gambling advertising is forbidden, history will look kindly on those that make the step voluntarily.

A service has been in existence on this route for well over 50 years but use has declined because of a reduced service and increased fares. It is a vital lifeline for many residents. The removal of this service will leave villages without access to facilities on the weekend. This includes swimming pools, parks, residential care homes, sports facilities, libraries, shops, etc. It will adversely affect the aging populations in the villages along the route, as well as preventing younger people from travelling to Hadleigh, Sudbury and Ipswich by themselves. Young families may choose to live elsewhere leading to an older, ageing population. The result will be to increase the frequency of private car use in already heavily congested market towns and reduce the footfall to the shops and businesses both there and in the villages along the route. It will lead to people, both young and old, being unable to stay in their villages and help increase the current decline in the vibrancy of them. Even if you aren’t affected by the 91, or even in Suffolk, please sign our petition to help us make a stand against vanishing rural bus services everywhere. Help keep our communities alive!

The proposed staff restructure would drastically impair the world-class educational experience currently provided by Leeds Conservatoire thanks to the personalized academic structure and expert leadership. As a student body, we are aware that you are currently exploring various options to tackle the increasing strain upon the conservatoire’s finances. We understand that the scale of the current pressure is not something to be taken lightly and that action must happen. However, we are aware that one option being explored involves serious staff restructuring within the conservatoire. We have seen that there will be nine jobs at risk of redundancy across both schools; this will massively impair the educational experience of the students of all pathways. The prospect of the programme leader and curriculum manager being made redundant for the jazz would be greatly concerning for the future of our education at Leeds Conservatoire. This same concern goes for all other at-risk pathways. Not only do these course leaders set and manage the well-designed curriculums, but they also offer educational and professional guidance whilst remaining approachable and visible members of staff. We are concerned about how the personalized education currently offered at Leeds Conservatoire would be maintained under this staff restructure. While a ‘Head of Music and Education’ may be able to manage the admin work of the jazz, classical, film, and junior courses, they will not be able to provide the same curriculum level and quality for the individual pathways, and will not be available to provide educational help and guidance to students. This will undoubtedly lead to less competitive degrees compared to other institutions, decreasing our future employability. We are also concerned about the lack of detail currently being shared with students. Whilst we acknowledge that the finances and business of the conservatoire are private and complex, we feel that proposed changes of this magnitude should involve student voices — as ultimately it is us, the students, that will be the most affected. Section 4 of our 2022/23 Terms and Conditions states that ‘where a change is more significant, student consultation will take place before any changes are made that will impact current students.’ As a cross-pathway student body, we do not believe that this is currently being upheld. We understand that the issues you are facing are not simple or easy, but we feel that restructuring the staff in the currently proposed way would negatively affect all students at Leeds Conservatoire and hinder its largest selling point that helps it to be a world-class college and that other options need to be explored with the inclusion of the student voice in an open dialogue. We want to understand why this action is necessary, what will be done to mitigate any effect on our education, and why other options open to the institution are not viable.

An exPM who has been proven to have repeatedly misled the House should not be allowed to reward or appoint people whose moral compass is as off kilter as his own.

The leisure centre lease has been terminated by Waverly Council and it has passed to Surrey Council. Surrey has confirmed the building will continue to be used by the school but will not be available for community use after the end of June. Whilst discussions about re-opening for community use at a later stage are ongoing there is no certainty that these will come to a positive conclusion. Local news shows how the public have concerns about the future and if enough people sign this petition the council will have to act to protect this vital service.

Trust in politicians and government officials is at an all time low and this is part of running a clean house, preventing individuals access to politicians on the basis of their past role as an MP rather then on the merit of their arguments for the good of the country. When you work for a company, you will lose access to your privileges as soon as you leave. You certainly will not be allowed to keep your pass to access the companies’ premises or offices. I am appalled to discover that ex MPs get a lifelong pass to access Westminster Parliament. It is no wonder ex-politicians are offered jobs in (big) companies or organisations after having been an MP: it has in all probability little to do with competence and all with access to policy makers. I know that turkeys do not vote for Christmas but it is high time that our elected representatives in Westminster Parliament clean its own house and take concrete action to restore our trust in politicians doing the right thing.

The YMCA tell the charities commission their values are: We seek out: We actively look for opportunities to make a transformative impact on young lives in the communities where we work, and believe that every person is of equal value.

We inspire: We strive to inspire each person we meet to nurture their body, mind and spirit, and to realise their full potential in all they do. We speak out: We stand up for young people, speak out on issues that affect their lives, and help them to find confidence in their own voice. We serve others NONE of those values are reflected for our community here in Hawksworth Wood. Their door is closed to our children. > We want change. > We want opportunities for our children and young people. >We want the Leeds City Council to enforce change by YMCA or make the building available to our community for them to benefit.
