This is a change that has been implemented by the local health board and has a wider impact on services across Swansea. We have received an overwhelming number of complaints by residents who are unable to reach services in Gorseinon. It is also having an impact on the community car & bus services. We are also seeing a lack of availability within these clinics which inevitably leads to missed appointments and pressures within these clinics.

Google generally produces elegant simple technology that's quickly adopted by the masses because it's easy to use. But OMG Google Meet's break out room function makes me want to pull my hair out. It is WILD that when splitting calls into breakout rooms it doesn't just split the people on the call into equal rooms, instead it also puts all the people who were ever invited to a call in a room treating them just like live attendees. It means that live attendees are scattered randomly between rooms on their own, or massively over subscribed rooms. What's more, as a host of a call you're constantly left floundering in front of a big group call as you wrestle with the bonkers user interface. We give you all of our data, the least you could do is give us some nice tools in exchange.

Many of your customers do not have access to online banking, those that do use it still require a branch for some transaction. If the branches close this will impact the elderly, people with mobility issues and additional needs being forced to travel long distances to the nearest city.

We live in an ever advancing technological world; without consistent access to devices that work and have access to the internet, a young person's education, development and opportunities to learn are adversely impacted. Would you consider a young person for a job if they brought in a hand written CV instead of applying online? Digital access is now one of the basic necessities, like food, shelter and an education! All young people have the right to the basic equipment and tools to allow them a fair chance to succeed and not be left behind. Digital poverty in young people exists where a person doesn’t have access to the online world and therefore doesn’t have access to the vast amount of information and opportunities that exist within it. An estimated 11.7 million (22 per cent) people in the UK are without the digital skills needed for everyday life; 9 million (16 per cent) are unable to use the internet and their device by themselves; and 3.6 million (seven per cent) are almost completely offline. Basic digital literacy skills are needed by every citizen to become ‘digitally literate’ to participate fully in an increasingly digital society. - ‘Tackling the digital divide. ‘House of Commons, 4 November 2021 Digital poverty has increased since the coronavirus pandemic. It has also been shown that the lack of access to suitable devices or software, reliable and affordable connectivity, suitable learning spaces has affected a higher proportion of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) learners. In a young person, it can result in a poorer education, poorer health, increased loneliness, isolation, an adverse effect on job prospects and even a lower life expectancy. The impact of digital poverty is that it intensifies the class divide keeping the poor in a cycle of poverty with no means of escape. This cause is important because after lockdown we saw the effects on young people without access to devices and the effect it had in their mental health as a result. The impact of the pandemic on learners’ mental health has been considerable with a significant increase in requests for mental health support reported by the providers we spoke to. Mental health issues are impacting learners across the board including those from more affluent backgrounds. Figures show15 that as many as 10 million people in the UK, including 1.5 million children, are thought to need new or additional mental health support as a direct result of the pandemic. However, we know that the pandemic is having a disproportionate impact on BAME groups who have suffered a “triple whammy of threats” to their mental health, incomes and life expectancy16. Children and young people from BAME backgrounds are showing greater increases in depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicidal thoughts than white peers during Covid-19 pandemic and Black males are more than twice as likely to experience mental health issues than their White counterparts.

1950s Women need more support in their objective to get their mobey back in full. 1950s Women are not disagreeing with Womens pensions having bern brought in libe with mens and people need to understand this. The issue is thst 1950s Women were not given amythinknlike dufficient notice of the changes, did not have the opportunity to save or make other arrangements, had to continue working and/or suffered genuibe hardships. Some lost their homes others struggled on whst little money they had. Their entitlement to a state pension was dradtically cut short with no notice. Yes we are sll going to hsve to eork longer but 1950s eomen got NO Notice of this from government/DWP causibg HUGE fibancial and on- going hardships. Give us back our money ! Government has a duty to provide a good level of care to the ekderley - they are not doing this with the 1950s Women - wuite the opposite. How would feel if you had worked sll your life reached the state retirement age and had your pension whipped away from you with no notice !!! The govetnment owes up to £50,000 to some women (dependent on their dob) - give 1950s women their pensions back so they can end their days without hardshio snd stress.

The communities of Culrain and Invershin are opposed to SSEN's plans to plant a string of super-large, 57m pylons across our small Highland villages. Option C1 is SSEN's 'preferred route' for the proposed 400kv pylon line from Spittal in Caithness to Beauly near Inverness. It cuts right through the ancient forest of Carbisdale (which harbours a flourishing population of legally protected red squirrels), ruins the setting of Carbisdale Castle and dominates the small village of Culrain. According to SSEN, this massive infrastructure project will take power from the area's many wind farms down to England and other 'centres of demand' further South. Crossing the Kyle of Sutherland near Culrain, where the stretch over the water is thinner, will save them a bit of cash. We don't think this is a good enough reason to railroad yet another beautiful Highland village. Since SSEN did not include the C1 route in their pre-public consultation advertising, the community only recently became aware of the seriousness of the proposals and the significant impact they will have on our lives and local environment. We invited SSEN to rectify their mistake by coming to Culrain to explain their proposals and hear our views, but they have refused. So, if you want to join us in telling SSEN to keep their pylons off our community, our forest and our beautiful red squirrels, please sign this petition. You can also add your detailed objections regarding the proposed C1 pylon route to SSEN's project feedback form here... https://www.ssen-transmission.co.uk/projects/project-map/spittal--loch-buidhe--beauly-400kv-connection/

Our survival on a human friendly planet partly depends on trees. Trees are vital contributors to global decarbonisation, as in the daytime they suck CO2 out of the air and produce Oxygen and vital sugars, which overcompensates for their respiration at night to reverse the process. And there are billions on the planet. Recently it has been discovered that they are extensively connected underground through the fungal mycelium that can transmit information as chemical products, to form a connected network. Trees have always been important to us for our own purposes , in manufacture and food production, and also in providing a calming and refreshing environment in streets, parks and wild places. So it is all the more appalling that institutional vandals cut them down. In Sheffield and Plymouth within recently, large areas of mature trees have been destroyed in the city centres. I have visited Plymouth last year and found it very run down and neglected, but the saving feature was Armada Way running down to the centre, a wide boulevard with a central area of urban woodland, grasses and plants left to nature, with large mature trees. The trees have since been destroyed and it is likely the wild area will be filled with rubbish or removed completely for yet more traffic. In both these cities the vandalism was carried out by the Council, against strong popular opinion, and secretively at night to avoid detection. No reasons have been given in either case. This is an appalling misbehaviour of democratic bodies. Councils do have Tree Protection Orders for certain varieties of trees, to prevent property owners from removing them. They can be over-ruled by planning applications and in public areas they may be ignored by the same councils. As the examples show, councils and their agents seem impervious to the law. So, there should be legislation by a criminal statute, to ensure the protection of trees, so that trees are given rights appropriate to living beings like animals and persons rather than pieces of property, because their importance seems unappreciated by the uneducated.

I have two sons who both live with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. We are grateful for the NHS and have always received fantastic care any time we have needed it. There is just one problem, most of the Nurses we have encountered in both Paediatric and Adult Departments have little experience in Moving and Handling patients who require hoisting. This is due to a comparatively small number of patients requiring this, however for those patients who do, this is essential. Nurses really ought to receive moving and handling training, including with slings and hoists, and should have access to refresher courses at least once a year, to ensure that every patient receives the best care possible. Every patient deserves the best care, and when Nursing Staff have little or no experience this can result in injury to the patient and themselves.

We the people of the Vale of Glamorgan implore the Vale Planning Committee to refuse the application made by Mr Danter to build a Holiday Camp on land he has purchased. This land is situated beside Ty Hafan Children's Hospice and used by families with very sick children who have life limiting illnesses. These children and their families very much need the beauty, peace and tranquillity that the hospice and its grounds give at the worst times of their journeys. They do not need the noise that will come from people in a camp (shouting, screaming, laughing, possibly also music playing loudly), when their child is dying. Also the increase of traffic and possibly, lost holiday makers turning up at the hospice, and inquisitive holiday makers trespassing onto the grounds from the front and back of the site. On the other side you have Beechwood College, school for Autistic young people, who again do not cope well with noise of any description and may be put at risk with the increase of traffic brought to this peaceful area. There are many other more suitable areas that could be considered in order to bring back a Holiday Camp or Hotel to the Town of Barry, but not at the expense of the wonderful work Ty Hafan has provided to families enduring the most challenging times, or to Beechwood College and the fantastic work they are doing. I write this from the heart, having experienced the wonderful place Ty Hafan is and the loss of our brave little Grandson. How upsetting and devastating it is to think it would even be considered to put a Holiday Camp in this location. As a family, we have experienced first hand the wonderful work Ty Hafan do and how special the beautiful, tranquil grounds are to sit in and reflect on the pain of the journey being gone through - and in some cases the loss of a dear child, as we lost our Darling Grandson. We are forever grateful for the love and support Ty Hafan gave and still give to not only our family but many many others. Please God that no one reading this has to experience what we and many other families have to experience in losing a dear child. And I can tell you that the very last thing we would have wanted to hear at that time would be holiday makers loudly enjoying themselves, screaming, shouting, laughing, or heavy machinery digging and increased traffic noise when your world is ending or ended. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please say No.

Please do sign this petition now. As a local city and county councillor, I have not yet been able to secure a guarantee, the store will remain open trading as Co-op and there are real concerns it will cease trading as a co-op. Retail can move fast. It is vital we let the Co-op Board and Directors know how important and successful this store is, how valued and treasured it is, a flag ship for the co-op brand and very much part of the Claines community.

This petition is important because it calls for a review of the community governance structure in Penrith, with the aim of improving transparency, accountability, and citizen participation in decision-making. It also suggests the creation of smaller parish councils serving the diverse range of distinct communities across Penrith, which would bring more local-focused councils for the communities and likely lead to substantial reductions in costs and parish precepts for households on the annual council tax bill. The petition highlights the fact that the community's voices have not been heard, and their needs have not been adequately addressed by Penrith Town Council. The community must have a say in the governance of Penrith, and a community governance review would provide an opportunity for the community to be heard and have a meaningful say in decision-making.

Cost of living crisis and North Tyneside Council are still charging bedroom tax. They are one of a few councils that still charge bedroom tax in the North East, regardless of your financial situation. The majority of other councils in do not charge bedroom tax. Anyone on Universal Credit will lose 14% of their entitled money. Furthermore, the cost of living crisis has left me with Eighteen Pound and Ninety Five Pence per week to live on after all bills are paid.
