  • Fight the Asda Crossharbour development
    Public consultation on the Asda site is a sham. RER, the company promoting this, haven't listened to a word said to them. They want to maximise profits by squeezing even more expensive high-rise apartments on the site; more than double the existing consent. They try to sweeten this by offering a new school in the wrong place, next to Cubitt Town, and a theatre we don't need and didn't ask for. Of course the petrol station people want isn't included!

  • £20 should not be made from palm oil
    The use of palm oil in products is causing serious environmental harm across the planet. It is linked to major deforestation in many countries, causing widespread loss of habitats, including the rainforest habitat. In fact, 27 million hectares of the earth's surface has been used for the cultivation of palm oil. It is now widely used in a range of products, and is currently in up to half of products sold in supermarkets. Flying over countries where palm oil production is concentrated is shocking. Seeing huge scars across landscapes which should be covered in rainforest is unacceptable when there are suitable alternatives. Allowing palm oil to be the substitute for tallow is not acceptable. This must be stopped. This is not the right substitute. It is unnecessary to add another demand and reason to increase palm oil production.

  • STOP THE BIG BOYS
    With serious levels of obesity, air pollution, tragic loss of green fields and forests not just around the UK but the world we need to STOP the greed of the 'big boys' going against the wishes of the communities they should protect. From local playing fields, parks and woodlands to world’s rain forest we are destroying our planet by chipping away at its' very life source. Governments have the power to put legislation in place to protect people but greed and profit sadly raises its' voracious head.  We want to start locally and stop the Midlands Co-op from building 82 houses on amazing green fields used for football. The plea of over 1000 residents has been ignored. Yardley is a hot spot for children's deaths with high traffic levels. High pollution is destroying peoples’ lungs especially children’s yet the Midlands Co-operative pretend they are the community's champion while the voice of the people is ignored.  The founding fathers of the co-operative would never have behaved in this way as they genuinely cared for the wellbeing of the communities they served. It appears the Rochdale Principles are sadly being buried and their ethical values of honesty, openness, social responsibility and caring for others has been lost! We need to protect other communities from the same bulldog mentality.  Our planet is fragile and we are all suffering from not breathing quality air and/or having the exercise we and our children desperately need. In the past 13 years 34000 school pitches have disappeared! Please help us make a start to protect local people and our planet – thank you!

  • Bring back legal aid for family law. Our rights to a fair justice system
    It's diabolical that legal aid has been removed from family law. Parents all over the country are not getting a fair hearing and through lack of knowledge and unfair rules they are having to be litigants in person.

  • Set a Mandatory National Space Standard for UK Housing
    We all know that the UK is in the midst of a housing crisis and that there is an acute need for more homes. However, we don’t think this problem will be solved by allowing more small and poorly-designed homes to be built. The UK currently builds the smallest homes in western Europe, which means that many of them are not fit for purpose when fully occupied. A lack of space and the poor design of a home can impact health, well-being, family relationships and even a child’s educational achievement. Adequate space (including storage space) is essential for a home to be comfortable and sustainable in the long term. In 2015 the UK Government introduced the Nationally Described Space Standard. This specified, amongst other things, a minimum floor area for each size of household. It meant that a flat for one person would be of a minimum of 37m2 and a two-storey, 3-bedroomed house for 4 people a minimum of 84m2. However, the Space Standard was not made mandatory and the Government has since proposed relaxing this minimum standard. Let’s set a mandatory space standard and put an end to building rubbish houses in the UK!

  • Parking Meters Must Continue To Accept Cash
    To have to pay by phone only is discriminatory to anyone who a. Does not own a smartphone b. Does not do transactions through their smartphone for security reasons c: Does not want to be forced to pay a 'booking fee' for technology to buy a ticket which they didn't want in the first place! d. Is not a criminal and has no reason to have their parking actions tracked. These meters are also a disaster for our struggling town and city centres if they prevent customers' parking or impede parking for personal caring duties.

  • Crown Green Bowling
    Crowngreen bowling is a sport that can be enjoyed by anyone from the young and into old age. No other sport offers this sort of comradship and excersise for this length of time. Sex doesn't entrer into it as ladies are equally welcome to enjoy this sport. The enjoyment of this sport is widespread but it is becoming under threat from Bradford in particular.

  • Stop Greenbelt Loophole Allowing Development in Bardsey Leeds
    Bramham estate in Leeds wants to sell off Red Flagged Green Belt by exploiting a section of the national planning guidelines referred to as 'very special circumstances'. This allows development on Greenbelt if the profits can be used to fund repairs to listed buildings, improve land elsewhere etc. Which would be fine if this were to benefit the surrounding populace. In this case it does not, as visiting Bramham is severely restricted. Bramham has proposed an open day a year to allow visitors should the plans be approved. So Nick Lane Fox would be using the money for home improvements only he would benefit from. We do not believe Nick Lane Fox and the Bramham estate should be allowed to get away with exploiting this loophole. Which will only cause misery to residents in surrounding villages of Scarcroft, East Keswick, Bardsey and Collingham. Collingham who have recently lost land to another development of many houses. We believe this is a test case of sorts and that should it be approved will open the floodgates to similar developments all over the country. Further to Note: The proposed site for build is located on flood plains that have been seen to flood very regularly and already affect existing properties in recent years many times. Amenities within the area are already stretched to breaking point with schools been full and waiting times at the surgery getting longer. The A58 is stretched to capacity at busy times of the day and the further pressure of 140 house with at least two cars each will only add to the mayhem in mornings and evenings.
