Tesco has decided to pull British-produced Silver Spoon from its shelves and has instead opted to sell Tate and Lyle cane sugar, which is imported from as far afield as Belize, in a bid to “provide the best possible prices” to customers. Sugar industry representatives said it was a blow to a sector estimated to employ 1,400 people and supporting a further 9,500 skilled jobs – the majority of which are based in East Anglia, where most of the nation’s beet crop is grown and processed. Michael Sly, Chairman of the National Farmers’ Union’s sugar board said: “NFU Sugar and its growers are hugely disappointed that Tesco is no longer selling Silver Spoon sugar which is proudly grown by British sugar beet producers,” said Mr Sly. “Not only is it a great product, the sugar beet industry makes an important contribution to the rural economy. “What makes it even more frustrating is that Tesco has chosen to deny consumers the choice of buying home-grown sugar which is produced sustainably, benefitting both the economy and the environment alike.”

County Council Elections take place in May. This petition is your opportunity to tell your future Suffolk County Councillor to roll up their sleeves and invest in Sudbury street life. Sudbury's Town, District and County Councillors are well aware of the need for traffic infrastructure modernisation, but other than speculating on a Western Bypass that may happen in a future decade the reality is little if any effort has been made to manage existing traffic beyond the bare minimum. Indeed many villages have better traffic calming measures compared to Sudbury's crumbling roads. The UK Government is beginning to publicly acknowledge the health dangers of emissions and County Council's Nationwide are adopting the 20's Plenty initiative. It's time for Sudbury to Move With The Times.... We recommend the 20's Plenty website for further information on Traffic Calming: http://www.20splenty.org

Tesco has huge influence and reach and offers a great service to the community but they need to understand if they don't support local industries and jobs that there business will ultimately suffer because the communities will have less money in there economies to spend at Tesco.

Around the world it is estimated 1 million seabirds and one hundred thousand marine animals and sea turtles become trapped in plastic rings from beer cans. Over half of those animals will ingest them and die. These rings are also biodegradable. This innovative technology is as resistant and efficient as the original plastic rings but better for the environment.

There are simply too many tennis members trying to book indoor courts unsuccessfully. Tennis coaching has booking priority rights by 24hours, resulting in paying members struggling to source court availability - especially at 'peak times'. The number of coaches utilising the courts within 'peak times' appears to have recently escalated - is this fair to paying members?

At the moment it is neglected and needs improving for the local people who use the park

Most schools in the Highland region are part of an ASG (number of schools grouped together). The Highland Council are removing the Head Teachers from all these schools and replacing them with one administrative head who will have control of all the schools budgets. This is a form of centralisation which not only removes a schools identity but its ability to function independently and hence do the best for the children attending that school. This will shortly be happening to Tongue and Melvich Primary schools who are part of the Farr ASG which contains 4 primary and Farr High school. Tongue is 13 miles west of Farr High and Melvich is 17 miles east. The new administrator will be based at Farr High school along with the budgets for all the schools and although both Tongue and Melvich Parent Councils have strongly opposed these changes the Highland Council are proceeding anyway. Compromises will inevitably be made by this administrator which will benefit some schools at the detriment to others. This is WRONG WRONG WRONG and should not be happening.
