In the street where I live more than 75% of the houses have been bought by private landlords who have converted them into multiple occupancy properties for students. The average house now accommodates 4 to 5 individual rooms paying an average of £100 per week each. And yet the landlords pay no council tax at all. Each of these houses produces more refuse than an average family does and yet they pay nothing towards bin collection or any of the other services that the council provides. At a time when local councils are struggling to provide basic services it is totally infuriating to see private landlords making huge profits from students without making any contribution to the local councils who provide the services we ALL benefit from.

Why? Research shows that reducing traffic speeds to 20 mph is one of the most effective ways of making our roads safer for children, older people, disabled people, pedestrians and cyclists. In the past five years there have been .... insert figures from analysis. Reduction in incidents data Does driving at 20 mph increase pollution? 20mph zones are supported by a many environmental groups such as Friends of the Earth as driving at 20 mph can reduce emissions. Driving at 20mph reduces braking and accelerating which increase a vehicles fuel consumption and emissions. The AA’s report, Fuel For Thought (Jan 2008) “accepts that targeted 20 mph speed limits in residential areas are popular and improve safety. Along shorter roads with junctions and roundabouts, limiting acceleration to up to 20 mph reduces fuel consumption" . Reference to imperial study? Does it increase my journey time? No. On our roads today it is very rare that you can travel at a constant speed of 30 mph. Bends, blind spots, parked cars, junctions, pedestrian crossings, cars turning right, traffic lights etc mean that you have to slow down or stop very often. Research shows that......

We've all seen the disturbing photos in the media lately of our plastic waste littering the planet. About a year ago I decided to reduce my household waste. I started buying from vegetable stalls, selective items from supermarkets and I travelled to zero waste shops. It was tough to juggle with life and a family and when December hit, with two boys birthdays, parties and Christmas our house became swamped again. And then it dawned on me - I can't do this alone. I can't quietly go Plastic Free. I need to be noisy, I need to let others know what I'm trying to do here. I need to create change. But change is tricky especially when you try to do it all at once. And lots of people out there do not have the time to shop at lots of different stores. So I'm asking Tesco to make one change. To set them an achievable first step towards plastic free. (After all, Every Little Helps) I want Tesco to set an example by changing the way they package their rice and pasta to paper packaging because the current plastic packaging is well, plastic and worse still, non recyclable. I am trying to promote easy swaps that people can make to make their supermarket shop plastic free, however rice and pasta are one of the hardest areas to find alternatives. Thanks for signing and please share! The Plastic Free Mama @theplasticfreemama

Remote villages need access to frequent reliable transport links to towns. Anyone who does not drives will be isolated and cut off from doing normal things in society

Banksy is a globally celebrated artist who gave a work of art to Hull. People came from all over the city and beyond to see it on Scott Street Bridge and it was celebrated in the media, locally and nationally. When it was defaced soon after it appeared there was an outpouring of dismay and disappointment. A local couple restored it and now it needs protecting at least with varnish or better still with a Perspex covering. We ask Hull City Council to recognise, value and protect this significant work of art.

Many pedestrians use this road, for walking to school, walking dogs or walking to/from the village. The lack of footpaths coupled with speeding cars or ones that do not give necessary space when oncoming makes it a treacherous stretch to walk.

this is going to Michael Andrew Coupe the CEO of J Sainsbury plc, parent company of the supermarket chain Sainsbury's since July 2014 this is my story A few days ago I was in my local Sainsbury's about 18:00, i was talking to one of the ladies who works there at the instore bakery, I asked her why she was bagging up the loose bread rolls up and she said i have to reduce them in price otherwise if we don't sell them by the end of the day we have to though them out. I said can you not give them to the homeless? She said I would love to but I'm not allowed to. This is disgusting in the 21 century, it has to stop!!! WILL YOU HELP ME

Rough sleepers deserve justice and not enough help is given by local councils some one needs to be held responsible for deaths on our streets if rough sleepers are neglected by councils .

Council bullies in solar loo grab! Local residents face a David and Goliath battle with Hackney Council to retain ownership of the community restored Brooksby’s Walk public convenience. The Council plan to terminate the community’s lease on 8th February. Residents re-opened the toilets serving Chatsworth Road, left closed by the Council for 30 years. After a long campaign and formation of the Clapton Improvement Society, they were granted a 5year lease in 2013, with the promise of a 100year peppercorn lease to follow. The Society raised funds from the Lottery and loans from members to renovate the toilets and convert the gents to a café/restaurant to pay for their maintenance. The current operator is David Bez’s Pride Kitchen, a vegetarian café. Altogether more than £40,000 has been invested. Clapton has Britain’s only luxury sustainable solar powered free public toilets as a result. But from the beginning, the Council has made life difficult for the volunteers. Officials raised a series of petty complaints about the works done by local contractors. Building inspectors demanded an expensive sprinkler system and then didn’t issue the certificate after completion of the works. A local councillor raised unverified complaints about the café and persuaded the licensing committee to refuse an extension of hours, which had been granted planning permission after an appeal to the independent planning inspectorate. Now the Council’s estates department is seeking to terminate the community’s ownership on wholly spurious grounds (including not having the building completion certificate) without any plans to keep the toilets open. “It’s an outrage!” says Society secretary Mary Doyle. “ As someone who is wheelchair fast, this is the only local toilet I can use”. “The Council has always resented our campaign to re-open the toilets and provide decent facilities on the street. Now they want to steal our community asset. Far from helping community initiatives as they boast in glossy reports, they undermine, bully and ignore them when they can.” PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION!

A serious accident is going to happen and more lives are going to be lost. People work hard to keep there cars on the road. People are having to pay for repairs to their cars, some people are struggling as it is. Something needs to done.

Siohbon Carey is a young lady with severe Epilepsy that causes her to be in Todd's paralysis a stroke like state after a seizure that can be exacerbated through stress. Siohbon at the moment is living in an upstairs flat that is totally unsuitable for her needs. Her home for months has been infested with Rats, Bluebottles and Maggots and these facts alone haven't compelled the housing to move her to somewhere suitable for her needs. Siohbon's case was highlighted in the Glasgow Evening Times: http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/news/15825678.Glasgow_tenant_forced_to_live_with_rats__flies_and_maggots/

The majority of residents on the two roads are elderly There is also families with young children on these closes and a nursery on this side of the road. Car's are doing more than the 30mph and with two blind bends crossing over bean leach road from any of the culdasac's and nursery to reach the shops/bus stops etc on bosden farm is very dangures. With sevral near misses of children allready its an accident waiting to happen. Hopfully a crossing will also reduce residents needs to drive onto the estate
