because at the moment most of sheltered housing consists of buildings looking like the people are locked in and not part of the community what i want see is the minister for housing not only allowing new designs being introduced with the consultation of what people want to live in but a design of housing that people want to live in i am in a shelterd housing block that reminds me of my nation service in the barrackroom

Marriage break. Ups and one side. Not getting fair access to their children have no chance now with out legal aid. I won custody of my son 20 yr ago with out legal aid I could not have done it. Also poor people can no longer take civil action if wronged. Legal aid should be available to those that need it

The government has increased the age to which all young people in England must continue in education or training, requiring them to continue until the end of the academic year in which they turn 17 from 2013 and until their 18th birthday from 2015. However, Great Western Railway who provide heavily discounted Scholars Ticket for those under 16 do not offer the same for those young people in the 16-18 compulsory education category. Instead, they offer a 16-25 Rail card at a cost of £30 per year but its use is restricted in that if you travel between 04:30 and 09:59 Monday to Friday (except during July and August) a minimum fare of £12 will apply. Rendering it useless to get to place of education for a 8.30/9am start!

Is Important because it will save cost like looking for scooters won't be necessary. Thank you and can do without taxis.

The health issues/concerns of emissions from mobile phone masts are well recorded. 4g mobile masts/antennas have even more powerful transmissions of microwave radiation. The proposed placement of this mast so close to residential property and children's playing field is of serious concern to local residents. Also the the size of these floodlights and mast would be a blot on the greenbelt land and an eyesore for residents living opposite.

It is another, very sorry state of affairs, that yet another NHS surgery, is being forced to close down, due to rising rents, NHS cutbacks and-frankly-a total disregard for the welfare of thousands of patients and their RIGHTS to expect and receive consultation(s), treatment(s) and professional care, from our GP's. So, Our practice is being forced to close, in March 2017, so that all of its patients shall have no other option but go 'elsewhere' to register with another surgery. As you are all, likely aware, a Doctor/Patient relationship is dependent on trust and familiarity. Doubtless, this relationship shall be compromised-particularly to the many of older and/or those with more serious ongoing conditions. Furthermore, the dread of such serious change might actually have a detrimental effect on some patients' already fragile health. At the very least, chaos bodes. Please ask yourselves this question: with yet another closure, where can the patients go? Surgeries are already at bursting point and the Government seems bent on privatisation, which means that ANYBODY who depends on their local surgery is at risk of substandard health care and therefore, deteriorating conditions, BECAUSE THEY ARE CLOSING THE ONE PLACE WHICH PATIENTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO RELY ON. Two years ago, I had extremely serious health problems. Had it not been for the NHS, I would have died. My Doctor, at surgery, was immeasurably important in galvanising the correct treatment and/or medication, so vital in turning the illnesses around. Not once but three times. In short, were it not for my GP's locale and readiness to accept the critical treatments needed, I would have died. So, how many more like examples of the necessity of local surgeries are there? If it is something you cannot associate with yourself, then-BET YOUR LIFE-you know somebody that it has happened to. Therefore, I am urging you all, for the well being of yourself, your families, friends and those who desperately NEED your wonderful surgery, please sign this petition to stop the closure at Union Row. Furthermore, I urge you to focus on not only your health but that of the NHS itself. PLEASE DON'T LET THIS PASS YOU BY. ONE DAY, WE SHALL ALL NEED THE NHS.

My husband was made disabled by a surgeon in November. We privately rent our two bedroom house and it was fine until he became disabled. We have been put on the housing list but there are no suitable properties. We have told we are entitled to a 3 bedroom council property but there are non available. We currently are only ellagable for housing benefit for a two bedroom house which leaves us locked in our current property. Despite needing to move on medical grounds we are not allowed to apply for 3 bed housing benefit meaning we can't look to rent privately. We have an indefinite wait on the list. I am still sharing a room with our 18 month old son. My husband can't access any parts of the house besides his bedroom and the bathroom. It is having a negative effect on our mental and physical well being.

People who are refugees are people and deserve dignity, respect and support to maintain the basic human needs of having adequate shelter.

Lives are at risk by not letting people donate who can donate. Every drop counts, even if it extends a life by just a few years. When a couple is together for a year, they can get a aids test done and let that result be the green or red light for donations. There is a higher risk in heterosexual couples who participate in "dogging" , if blood stocks are that low as they claim it is, every drop of blood counts. If this works then another campaign can be tagged on this one to allow people donating after ten years after the transfusion date. The symptoms should show by then to proof you have it or not.

I am a consultant for additional educational and emotional needs. I have spent most of the last 50 years working with young people who have complex learning difficulties. We, as a society, must show understanding and compassion. DR MIC CAROLAN

Newbiggin Library is a vitally important public service. Without consultation Northumberland County Council have decided to move it to the Sports Centre leaving both the quality of the library service and the future of the seriously neglected, much loved former school building which it currently occupies uncertain. Newbiggin people should be properly consulted about such major decisions in their town.

If the government did this we would need one less nuclear power station. The cost of doing so is miniscule compared to the the cost of Hinkley Point and would only need to be done once and would last forever. Think of the small businesses and jobs that would be created and we would have lower energy bills.
