Every year hundreds of people die as a result of the readily available legal highs, many believe that as the substance is legal, it is safe. It's quite the opposite in fact. The exact ingredients will never be known, and we are unaware of the effects of theses substances. However, despite this, the council still proceed to licence shops selling legal highs. No age restrictions are in place. A child as young as 5 could purchase these lethal drugs, all at the owners discretion. I for one am not going to sit back and watch more and more children become another death statistic. By making it illegal to purchase these substances under the age of 18, we can start minimising casualties. Tight sentences and fines should be implemented to anyone found selling legal highs without a license or to anyone with out verification of age. The fight back starts now.

Craig Whittaker MP has shown an appalling lack of judgement and caused great distress to survivors of sexual abuse by sharing a sick joke about Jimmy Savile on Twitter on 5th May 2015. He tweeted: Trust Labour? I'd rather trust Jimmy Savile to babysit! with a link to a Richard Littlejohn piece in the Daily Mail, from which the quote was taken. Many people and organisations have condemned this in the national press and on Twitter, including lawyers representing many of Savile’s victims. He has repeatedly been asked to apologise but to date Whittaker has neither deleted the tweet nor apologised. Whittaker’s role as chair of the all-party group for looked-after children is not tenable – he has shown complete contempt for the many care leavers who have experienced abuse (and bearing in mind that many of Savile’s victims were in care). We call on the two vice-chairs of the APPG to ask Whittaker to step aside or remove him if he refuses to resign.

We would like your support to stop the destruction and trade of Iraqi antiquities. Iraqi artefacts are of critical importance, not only for the region but the heritage of the whole world because they are more than 5,000 years old. This illicit trade in stolen artefacts could be worth 7-10 billion dollars worldwide and is possibly second to the arms and drugs trade. In Iraq, the artefacts are going through neighbouring countries such as Turkey and Jordan and then passing through transit countries that act as markets, final destinations might include US, UK and Switzerland. We are asking the UK government to:- 1 - implement the UN Council Resolution 2199 of 2015. and have recently asked the Iraqi government to:- 1 - set up a database of artefacts (demolished and remaining) and all sites. 2 – register all sites and have a trained police force to protect them. However, the Iraqi Authorities are lacking the expertise and resources to do this as ISIS occupies some of the sites so are not under the control of the Iraqi government. If there is no demand for these ancient antiquities then there will be no supply. Now we would like your support to condemn this destruction of our heritage and add your names and signature to our list of supporters.

It is obviously important that the Prime Minister that is voted for gets to no 10. We vote and rely on a electronic counting process that makes it easy to cheat .like everything electronic it can be programmed to give any output you desire. We need all counting stations to have more than one independent person counting each vote all along the whole process we need to go back to the old way of counting to ensure the correct person gets to number 10.

It may be happening on our doorstep - our school, village hall, green and residents are less than 400m away - We are 50 pigs short of if never being approved - but if this goes through it will set a precedent for an influx - so look out poor little piggies could be coming near you soon!

Because Saint Peters square is again the site of protesters demanding justice and a fairer society. On the 16th of August 1819 it was the people of Lancashire demonstrating for parliamentary reform that were massacred at Peterloo. This time it is the homeless people of Greater Manchester that are upholding the fine tradition of radical protest in Manchester. They have set up camp near to the central library entrance and are demanding better treatment for homeless people across Greater Manchester. Because the number of homeless people is growing across the UK due to the austerity measures being pursued by our government. Because these people deserve a home. This is a heroic David vs Goliath struggle, and we should make sure David wins!

The Camp is the epitome of your friendly local pub and has been serving the city of St Albans for over 100 years. With locally brewed real ales, and great value pub food – our local pub is at the heart of the community. The pub is also the social hub of the area, providing local entertainment including regular quiz and karaoke nights, evening events to raise money for local charities and hosting live televised sporting events. Despite being the centre of the community, soon locals in St Albans will be left without their local pub. The pub is due to close on 15th May and we desperately need your help to save it. The closure of the Camp public house demonstrates how vulnerable communities are to speculative and aggressive development tactics. An application to register the Camp as an Asset of Community Value has now been submitted to St Albans City Council. With the closure of the Camp imminent, we need you to help us urge the Council to accept the application to list the pub immediately. This will ensure planning permission is required for the pub to be demolished or converted to any other use. The listing also gives the community an opportunity to potentially come together to form a co-operative group to buy and run our local pub. Please sign this petition and urge the City Council to accept the nomination to ensure the pub continues to be part of our local community.

It is not a safe walking distance for the children. The children have to walk through rival areas which could/would lead to gang fights. There are very busy roads if the children had to walk.

The amount of food sold in Supermarkets is astronomical and the packaging is still around 40% non re-cyclable. This is hugely damaging to the environment.Sorting through my waste is so dis-heartening when I keep having to put this packaging into the landfill bag.

All we have regarding jobs in Cornwall is tourism we will lose these jobs if we will have nothing beautiful to share. Locals and tourists will both lose out. We all need to have a say in what goes on around us, councils need to remember they are accountable to the people to whom they are suppose to serve. In this planning application it is clear that the council wish to knock down sky tip, an iconic land mark people of St Austell seen in the same light of the "Angle of the North" or "The White Cliffs of Dover" please help also you can email a letter direct to the council ? The how-to is on facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/104453242945947/?fref=ts

The reason behind my urgent appeal is because this medication is the cause behind so many soldiers suffering from mental health breakdown. Responding to the new statistics published recently, General Lord Dannatt, former head of the British Army, said: “It is extraordinary that the MoD continues with this policy given the mounting evidence as to the harmful effects of Lariam. The MoD should decide as a matter of urgency to no longer prescribe Lariam but use some other malaria prophylactic.” I thoroughly agree with this because it is very wrong to put our loyal troops through this predicament which is very much uncalled for. Therefore I implore the Ministry of Defence to ban the medication and not prescribe it to our troops with immediate effect.

Parking on weekends in the CAQ zone on Medley and Iverson Road is already a nightmare and is set to become even worse when the new developments and shops open. While we support the growth in the area this problem needs to be remedied NOW before the new developments open. I've lived in West Hampstead now for the last 8 years and LOVE the area. While i fully support the growth in the area i am some what worried about parking going forward when the new blocks open on Iverson Road and West end lane. I live on the lovely road medley just off iverson. Parking has always been tricky but in the last few months it's been near impossible to park near by due to the building works taking place during the week (for the new developments) and the farmers market on Saturdays. Sundays are less problematic. I am however aware that this will become even more tricky once the new flats open. As it stands i'm aware that the new blocks haven't been granted residents parking but that if restrictions aren't enforced now for Saturdays then parking will be near impossible at the weekend. With that in mind i have been talking to neighbours and we want to start a petition to enforce restrictions that parking in the CAQ area for Medley and Iverson is brought forward to Saturdays also (as it is in highly populated areas in the CAP area).
