• Prevent suggested 'British Values Oath' for public office holders
    Sajid Javid has suggested holders of public office should swear an oath to British values. This will do absolutely nothing to combat ethnic segregation as has been suggested and is an insult to those who currently hold public office, the vast majority of whom already hold solid values and do those jobs because they want to help others. Anyone who doesn't hold those values will simply repeat the oath and not mean a single word of it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-38355373

  • prestwick airport fuel tanks
    By shunting at Falkland yard it reduces the threat of an accident or a terrorist attack Also with having a freight yard near it makes sense for tanks to be shunted at Falkland yard owned by Db cargo as colas rail have the contact & will have to pay for use of using Db cargo yard thus reducing the risk of an accident Appears network rail & colas rail have come to an arrangement not to use Falkland yard & have concluded that it is safe to use Ayr station to shunt fuel tanks as fuel tanks would arrive quicker at preswick airport without the need to be shunted at Falkland yard despite the potential risk & potential terrorist threat RMT has raised these risks with network rail & scot rail & all have been in vain.

  • Fairer Transport Deal for Rawdon Residents
    1.The areas in and around Rawdon have no hopper bus, unlike the neighbouring areas of Yeadon, Guiseley and Horsforth. 2. The area along Town Street, Rawdon has NO public transport provision for residents needing to access Rawdon New Road Side, their only GP surgery and pharmacy, Rawdon Community Library, Micklefield Park and other local amenities. This results in no transport for residents living in that area being denied public transport to the sole Post Office on Town Street, Rawdon St Peters Primary School and Rawdon Parish Church or the local football and cricket clubs. The bus route 97, via Horsforth, West Park and Headingley, does not provide access to Horsforth New Road Side, Kirkstall, Burley or a more direct route into Leeds City Centre. 3. Due to the length and congestion of the 97 bus route, there are often delays in the service, with passengers waiting between 30 - 60 minutes at times. 4. There are neither bus shelters nor seats for passengers between the crossroads at the top of Harrogate Road, Yeadon and Brownberrie Lane, Horsforth on the 97 route towards Leeds. 6.Many local residents complain about these problems. There is a need to consider providing an alternative route, allowing direct access to Leeds via the purpose-built Kirkstall Corridor. This could possibly be solved by re-routing the 33A route from Rawdon Crematorium, up Layton Lane, along Town Street, Larkfield Road, Batter Lane then joining the current route on Harrogate Road. This would still leave the 33 and 757 bus routes to provide transport to passengers on New Road Side, Rawdon.

  • Daytime Social Provision for Adults with Disabilities
    Young people with disabilities need to maintain their skills and their mental health into their adult lives. They are vulnerable adults and need to be able to access safe places and maintain social contact with their friends. My daughter doesn't understand why she is no longer seeing her friends at college. She can no longer do the unpaid work she had been doing for a number of years because of a medical condition. She is has no routine and no focus in her life for 6 days a week. I am a pensioner with health problems and unable to consistently take her to places where she can meet others and anyway there is no daytime place where she can find activities to keep her meaningfully occupied. One day a week she attends a local drama group run by a charity and her whole life revolves around this one activity.

  • Revenues from new sugar tax should be spent on UK children.
    According to Barnados, there are 3.7 million children living in poverty in the UK. Clearly more needs to be done. It is important to public confidence in the government, that the government is seen to prove that it has the welfare of children at heart and is not just seen as using children's health issues just to raise tax revenues.

  • Let Peterborough Breathe - Clean Air Petition
    Peterborough is one of the most car friendly cities in the United Kingadom with its transport links and parkways. Air pollution is increasing more and more through new distribution companies being attracted to the city and people moving to the city due to work. We urgently need to be reduce Peterborough's air pollution in order prevent this affecting resident's health and wellbeing. Peterborough is wanting to be the UK's Environmental Capital. By addressing increasing air pollution in our city this would send a clear message to the rest of the UK that our political representatIves are concerned and proactively wanting to address this serious situation and find a solution. Air pollution causes permanent lung damage in babies and young children and exacerbates lung and heart disease in older people, and particularly affects people living in the city centre and near busy roads. In 2014 air pollution levels reached record highs in Peterborough with people complaining of breathing difficulties. http://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/news/environment/health-worry-as-air-pollution-quality-in-peterborough-hits-worst-level-1-5978333 London and other cities are implementing Clean Air Zones. Peterborough should not be left behind. The people of Peterborough deserve healthy, clean air.

  • Stop Gamer Exploitation
    The pressure on gamers is immense to have all the latest upgrades and the fact many companies use day one downloadable content as a means to make extra cash is wrong. They are removing elements from a complete game to sell them as an add on to make the game complete. It's the only way to get the full experience and micro transactions are causing young gamers and their families a lot of financial problems as has been documented recently in the press. The pressure to keep up with peers leads to a strong temptation to purchase points, coins etc: without parental consent.

  • RMT should bid for the Southern rail franchise
    The workers united could show what they could achieve when freed from the constraints of feeding shareholders. It would allow those who actually operate the railway to demonstrate that they do know better how to run it. This initiative could provide the template for more cooperative working throughout the economy. The elected government would still be in place to ensure no abuse of monopoly in this instance where there is no market choice for rail users
