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 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).

One in eight women develop breast cancer in their lifetime. If breastfeeding can help reduce the risk of breast cancer, then women need to know about that. According to the research, women who have breastfed have a 5% increased chance of not experiencing breast cancer in their lifetime. The numbers become more significant for women who have already been diagnosed and women who have already beaten the cancer once – women diagnosed with cancer who have breastfed can expect a 28% reduced risk of dying from the disease while women who already survived it have a 30% chance of not seeing the cancer recur if they have breastfed. This information is important, given that one in eight women are diagnosed with cancer. It could save more lives if more people know about it. I am requesting the Department of Health to look more deeply into this research and create campaigns around it.

My father was diagnosed with terminal cancer in February this year and is waiting to die. He is in a private nursing home due to limited resources available from the nhs. He is confined to his bed and reliant on carers to attend to his needs. He is encouraged to eat and drink when he doesn't want to. I cannot continue to watch him suffer like this it breaks my heart.

The Theatre has been in New Mills since it was opened in June 1911 and has served the local community since then. The theatre provides live entertainment on a regular basis and provide home to the local operatic society, who have performed in the building since 1922 and our newly formed youth theatre Take Part in the Art which provide theatrical training and performance skills for 5 - 18 years it also showcases every year for the last 30 Yrs New Mills Dance and Theatre Centre who have just won the AKA Seniors Ballet Competition for the 7th Year in a row. Without external funding to support the buildings upkeep and urgent repair bills sadly the theatre future looks uncertian

For over 100 years the Tate gallery has displayed contemporary and traditional British, and contemporary international artists. It has become a cultural cornerstone in Britain's art scene and has a responsibility to defend the interests of the people to whom it represents and receives funding from. As we face the greatest moral dilemma of our age, private and public institutions alike must take responsible actions on behalf of billions of people worldwide, present and future generations. The production and consumption of oil, coal and gas is not sustainable and will have devastating effects if left at its current monstrous rate: http://www.theguardian.com/environment/ng-interactive/2015/apr/10/how-much-fossil-fuel-are-we-using-right-now As shown by The Guardian's 'Keep it in the Ground' campaign, dubbed 'the biggest story in the world' an estimated 1/3 of known oil reserves, 4/5 of coal reserves and 1/2 of gas reserves must be left untouched if we are to remain below an already dangerous 2 degree rise in global temperature. http://www.theguardian.com/environment/ng-interactive/2015/mar/16/the-biggest-story-in-the-world The time to act is now. We must divest from these archaic, destructive institutions, and we must begin by showing them that they no longer have a place in this world if it is to remain habitable. BP is still demanding that fines that are yet to be issued are cut due to a proposed lack of finances, and must be made to take responsibility for their actions. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-12124830 http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/02/03/us-bp-trial-idUSKBN0L724420150203 Oil spills in the Gulf of Mexico and Azerbaijan are devastating symptoms of a greater, catastrophic disease, condemning the inhabitants of our planet to agricultural and financial collapse, fracturing an already fragile ecosystem on the brink of collapse. http://www.theguardian.com/environment/gallery/2015/apr/18/bp-deepwater-horizon-oil-spill-five-years-on-gallery http://content.time.com/time/video/player/0,32068,83190883001_1987392,00.html It is an industry that you subsidize, an industry at the forefront of corporate lobbying, an industry that supports undemocratic trade 'agreements'.

The school has been promised money from both the council and the government again and again and they have still received nothing. Schools in Halifax have great facilities and yet Tod High is consistently ignored. The school has recently received 'Good' from Ofsted and has moved from being in the bottom 5% to the top third of schools in the country in just two years. This year the school is being asked to make £150,000 of cuts - How is this possible?

As some of you may be aware, the Green Party tried to stand two candidates in Basingstoke (Sarah Cope and Clare Phipps), and the Electoral Commission rejected their application. Four independent people (Rachel Ling, Emma Rome, Zion Zakari, and Adam Lotun) attempted to do the same in two other constituencies. We had been in talks with the GP leadership about working together, but have now received an email from the GP's legal advisor telling us that they have zero interest in cooperating to present the legal case. I don't think that is right. I believe the Green Party should work with independent campaigners to get job-sharing as an option for how candidates should be able to stand. (n.b., I am referring to job-sharing, where two people are both committed to a single job, sometimes also known as flexible working. I am not referring to the second-jobbing that happens among many MPs currently, or the part-time antics of Boris Johnson).
