I back the campaign run by the Royal Osteoporosis Society (ROS) and the Sunday Express. In terms of years lost to premature death and disability, fractures (broken bones) caused by osteoporosis are the fourth most devastating health condition of all. Effective therapies exist, but the postcode lottery for Fracture Liaison Services means around 90,000 people per year are missing out on treatment. The result is tens of thousands of preventable spinal and hip fractures, which are life-changing for people and costly for the NHS. We're calling on the Government to use the Major Conditions Strategy to send a clear message to Integrated Care Boards that everyone over 50 deserves access to a quality Fracture Liaison Service. We can then deliver on the mantra that the first fracture should be the last fracture. Beating osteoporosis will tackle one of the most urgent threats to people living well in later life.

On the 26th of May 2023 The Isle of Wight Echo and The County Press published a report outlining the prospective closure of St Marys Catholic Primary School Ryde. These reports were published before consultation with St Marys staff or school community. We view these actions as inconsiderate and unnecessary. St Marys Catholic Primary school is very much valued by our school community, parents, pupils and teachers alike. As parents, we are the primary educators of our children and have chosen St Mary’s because it’s values and ethos align with our own. As a church school community these values are of utmost importance to us. The prospect of removing St Mary’s from our community would disallow our children to be educated according to our spiritual beliefs and values. Our children have the right to attend school within their locality and the local secular schools would not educate our children in the values and practices that are so important to our faith. Ryde is a large town and second in population only to Newport and as such, should have our own Catholic provision. As a church maintained school we have contributed the required 10% in funds from our community and diocese, which must be acknowledged by the Local Education Authority. These are funds that the LEA are not required to pay. Our children are happy and settled at St Mary’s Primary School, many families are very much committed to the school and have numerous siblings that attend. As parents we oppose the proposed closure of St Mary’s and demand that we are properly informed and consulted with regarding this prospective closure.

Because many patients are being threatened with removal or are removed from GP patient lists often following formal or complaints. Many surgeries operate Kangaroo Courts that become Judge and Jury without ever meeting with the patient or discussing the matter. Individual GP Complaints Policies and NHS Complaints policies are being ignored or significantly breached with little or no come-back for the patient(s).

It is good for socialising, enjoying play time and the sun shine gets parents together to have a great day out even have picnics on the grass and in a updated playground for kids to burn there energy, some parents can not afford days out with this it would be a free facility it will also bring people together for all to enjoy This will also bring in more business for the local shop's cafe, it will benefit many people.

Dear Customer We, the undersigned residents, business owners, and concerned members of the community, write this petition to express our strong opposition to the proposed demolition of the existing car sales/garage and the subsequent construction of a SPAR convenience store with an ATM machine, car parking, external lighting, landscaping, and associated works at the proposed site. We firmly believe that the proposed location for the SPAR convenience store is unsuitable for several reasons, which we outline below: Local Traffic Problems: The current traffic situation in the area is already a significant concern. The addition of a convenience store at this location would exacerbate the traffic congestion, resulting in severe disruptions and safety hazards for both pedestrians and motorists. The increased customer and delivery vehicle movements would cause chaos and further burden the already strained road infrastructure. Entrance to Site for Customers and Deliveries: The entrance proposed for customers and deliveries is ill-conceived and inappropriate for the area. The site's access points would create bottlenecks and hinder smooth traffic flow. The resultant congestion would create inconvenience for local residents, obstruct access to neighboring businesses, and compromise road safety. Negative Impact on Local Historic Retail Business: The proposed construction of a large-scale convenience store with a significant range of products and services would have a detrimental impact on the existing local historic retail businesses. These small-scale enterprises are an integral part of our community and contribute to its character and charm. The introduction of a major chain store would threaten their viability and potentially lead to the loss of these beloved establishments. Incompatibility with the Local Environment: The addition of external lighting, extensive landscaping, and associated works would alter the aesthetic and environmental balance of the area. It could disrupt the existing natural beauty and compromise the visual appeal of the neighborhood. The proposed development fails to consider the preservation of the local landscape and disregards the importance of maintaining the character of the community. Therefore, we, the undersigned, request the following actions to be taken: Halt the demolition of the car sales/garage and reconsider the suitability of the proposed site for the SPAR convenience store. Conduct a comprehensive traffic impact assessment to evaluate the potential negative consequences on local traffic patterns, road safety, and the overall well-being of the community. Engage in meaningful consultations with local residents, business owners, and stakeholders to understand their concerns and explore alternative solutions that are more compatible with the area. Preserve and protect the existing historic retail businesses that contribute to the uniqueness of our community. We believe that our concerns are valid and representative of the broader sentiment within the community. By signing this petition, we express our collective opposition to the proposed development and urge you to reconsider the plans for the sake of our community's well-being and the preservation of its character. Thank you for your attention to this matter. We kindly request a prompt response regarding the actions taken in response to our petition. Please give your name, address and the date to show support for this petition.

School uniform in our local area costs anywhere from £100-£200. This is highly unreasonable, especially considering the current cost of living crisis. Many families are struggling to fund their child's uniform as most schools have strict policies on jumpers, blazers, bags and PE kits which makes it difficult to accumulate for as each item of clothing is expensive. To solve this problem, my group has come up with an idea to help families who need support. This involves encouraging students who have outgrown/no longer need their uniform to donate it to their school which will go towards the new year 7s and any other years who need it. Another way to help ease the stress of uniform costs would be to simply lower the price tag. Around £30 for a school jumper is outrageous when you could buy a similar one from a clothing shop for a lot cheaper. Many families are already struggling in the current cost of living crisis and school uniform prices are only adding more stress. It is important to help this problem because people shouldn't have to worry about whether they can afford their child to have clothing or not. The government website also states that it is important for schools to have a way for their school uniform to be available to everyone. Things need to change.

To increase tourism and to help local businesses thrive.

The high street as we knew it is dying. Our small market town is suffering a number of established businesses closing with no one wanting to fill the empty premises. Businesses are struggling to survive. Putting extra financial burden on businesses to change signage that the public actually thinks improves the area could discourage other small businesses from opening.

There is no such thing as a “safe” level of air pollution. And while air pollution affects us all, older people, children, people of colour, and people living in poverty are hit the hardest. Mayors, national governments, and all those in power across the political spectrum, must take bold action on air pollution. Getting the most polluting vehicles off our roads – especially those powered by dirty diesel – is a key first step. But this must be backed up with far more investment in walking, cycling and green public transport that is accessible and affordable for all Londoners in all boroughs. Leaders across the country and the world are looking to take similar action on toxic air. What happens here will inspire so many others. This is a chance for London to lead the global movement for clean air, as cities around the world turn to us for inspiration and guidance on how to tackle this deadly challenge. We can’t afford to delay. Clean Air Wins is supported by C40 Cities and the UK Healthy Air Coalition, a collective of leading health, environment and transport organisations with the shared vision of a UK free from toxic air.

Melton Mowbray once had a thriving, busy College with a well equipped Leisure Centre, engineering workshops, hairdressing salon, commercial kitchen, nursery and numerous classrooms offering courses in pre-nursing, early years, electrical, automotive and mechanical engineering, welding, hairdressing, catering, GCSEs, A levels, admin and business studies as well as courses for students with special needs. Many of these courses have gone, never to return, and we are now in danger of losing the rest as Brooksby Melton College looks to move all courses, except Drama, to its Brooksby campus. Buses to Leicester don't tie in with course timings so this will mean all students needing their own transport out to Brooksby. And what will happen to the campus in Melton? We have already lost the leisure centre and now we could lose all the rest. Please sign this petition to ask the Education Minister to intervene and stop the loss of this important facility.

School support staff have suffered more than a decade of pay cuts and are some of the most undervalued workers in society. Added to this, support staff at Ash Field Academy have been significantly underpaid when compared with comparable roles in LA maintained schools. They need a pay rise at least in line with inflation.

Palantir was formed by the CIA and its expertise is in surveillance and border security, NOT health or patient data. Palantir is fully American owned. There is no guarantee that your patient data won't be harvested and stored outside the UK. This would make it very difficult to police the security of your data. Although the data is meant to be anonymised various organisations could get hold of the means of restoring personal data from the database.
