There is a large and thriving horse riding community in this area and ramblers and dog walkers use the footpaths. All these activities improve public health and improve wellbeing reducing the burden on an overcrowded NHS. Thanet Local Plan talks about preserving 'green wedges' between the towns to stop them merging into one but THEN suggests building on most of the land at Manston so that Manston blurs into the Thanet Towns. The Manston Parkway extends the urban sprawl from Ramsgate to Cliffsend and further land will be designated along that strip as solar plant land. If the Airport was turned into housing the site would continue from Manston Parkway to Acol as further urban sprawl. There would be very little agricultural land left in Thanet. Basically the Plan talks about the 'distinctive nature' of Thanet's villages and then shows how its going to incorporate them into one big urban sprawl Highlighting and developing brownfield sites in Urban Thanet and run down areas should be prioritised over building on grade A agricultural land along with a local plan that acknowledges the importance of preserving a Green Belt between urban and rural Thanet. The Thanet Local Plan has highlighted "Green Wedges" between the towns to help preserve their identity but has made no reference to developing further and further out across Manston until urban sprawl reaches out to the Wantsum. The Council needs to ensure that development leaves a distinctive band of green undeveloped land between the towns and villages such as Manston, Acol, Minster, Monkton, St. Nicholas. Not only is the land grade A agricultural land but it is criss crossed with footpaths and bridleways which encourage the residents of Thanet out into the countryside. If all the areas highlighted for planning were built on we would have: Manston Green joining Manston to Ramsgate Westwood joining Manston to Westwood Westage extending out to Woodchurch Birchington expanding out around the preserved green island of Quex estate China Gateway Built up. Manston Parkway at Cliffsend and further Solar developments. Expansion of Thanet Earth (for which planning has been granted) Building of entire Manston Airport site to encompass Manston Park to Minster and Acol This would make the whole of Thanet an urban sprawl.

The School belongs to the community and needs to be protected for our children now and in generations to come. We do not want our school to be privatised. The proposal to join the Howard Partnership Trust who are known to redevelop school land must be stopped NOW. WE DEMAND A BALLOT.

Pershore High School’s proposal to take in year 7 pupils from September 2016 will not only affect year 7 pupils and the organisation of the high school (including its other pupils), but it will also have an impact (in some cases a very major one) on all of the children from schools that feed into it, since it will force a complete restructuring of the whole system. The signatories below are concerned about any or all of the following and urge the Governors of Pershore High School to consider their impact before deciding upon the future of our local education system. • The proposed changes are not part of an overall strategic plan for our area, considering demographics, properly researched parent views, funding issues, staffing expertise and analysing what the best options are for our children • Schools are having to work out, individually, how to move forward, rather than collectively • Any resulting restructuring is not being endorsed, managed, nor financed by our local authority • The timescale suggested for change is unrealistic • The experience of all other areas restructuring from three- to two-tier is of major disruption to children’s education over several years (and in all of those areas millions has been injected by their local authority) • Danger is that good and excellent teachers will be lost in the restructuring – and it is good teaching that is at the very core of our children’s success, not structures and processes • Danger that parents will be put off sending their children to schools in the pyramid with such uncertainty over the future. It is certainly not helping Pershore High School’s reputation with prospective parents as it has raised awareness of concerns about issues there that could be detrimental to the welfare of the children, thereby undermining confidence in the school • School management is being distracted by this process at a time when a more onerous GCSE national curriculum is being introduced • Our current system is working well, but everything can always be improved, so shouldn’t we be concentrating on how to do that?

This is important for the generation today and the generations to come.. We need to improve the Ogmore Valley and give back the community spirit that once in place..

I myself have been abused by the Mental Health System my first experience of being treated was as follows: I was approached by 5 nurses, one of which was carrying a needle, in response to this I panicked, I ran down the corridor and closed a door behind me and tried to hold it shut. Without any sort of negotiation they all began to barge the door open, one nurse grabbed one of my limbs until I was unable to move and I forced face down on the corridor floor, they proceeded to remove my trousers and pants and a nurse injected a psychotropic drug into the buttock. After this I passed out. I was not allowed to leave the ward to go outside, even under supervision, for simple things such as fresh air: which in the smelly, dirty, contained environment where the closest thing to fresh air was the smoking room. A similar event happened when I had given up and they medicated me by force, after this I set off the fire alarm and ended up being sent to an even more secure unit. They deprive liberty and expect you to conform to 3 hour passes that even if you are 10 minutes late they take them away. They have made me homeless before, and they continue to use invasive treatments on me. This started happening to me in 2007 and they still harass me now. This is because every tribunal is heard by 3 people tribunal of a Psychiatric member (claiming to be medical). Legal member. (Probably the psychiatrists lawyer) and a General member (Mental health Officer). There is a huge case of fraud here as it is bias and their medication is subject to publication biasing. http://youtu.be/RKmxL8VYy0M I still suffer side effects from their medication, but they ignore them. They also disregarded my advanced statement which was similar to: http://www.cchr.org.uk/wp- content/uploads/2010/01/Advance_Statement_form.pdf Every piece of evidence they have on me is hearsay and nonsense, a complete violation of human rights. http://youtu.be/RfAMbmxs7KE This is a political Science gone out of control, it is dictated by psychiatrists. http://youtu.be/II96QkZaz1E For too long have people(including me) been abused by these psychiatrists, we have to start somewhere.

Britain should not associate with this cruel regime and we should make it known to them that we do not want visits from any of their royals or senior government officials whilst they torture their citizens.

This is especially important to the NHS. The NHS gets a LOT of funding, plenty of funding to provide an excellent 24h 365 day service to millions. BUT: A HUGE amount of this funding is syphoned off to "Private Finance Initiative" deals whereby a hospital that costs 1.34Bn to build is actually costing 10.32Bn via PFI repayments. This is the reason the NHS is so stretched,- the amount given by the treasury to the NHS is plenty for the service, but it its being massively wasted by epically badly planned government devised PFI deals whereby middle men and hedge funds make an absolutely (offshore) fortune from the fact they can charge anything (and do) and the government can't (legally or morally) give in and let hospitals go to waste. ===== Why has this occurred? The PFI deals came around from Gordon Brown as Treasury Cabinet Minister to allow the government to make massive expenses and to not declare them because they're actually "Private business" expenses, so the government says "Over the course of 10/25 years we will pay you an amount you want if you build this [hospital/airbase/whatever] for us right now. The Businesses said "oooh yes!" and built what was asked and had a legal contract in place that the government would pay them back a net sum approximately (as illustrated above) of approximately ten times the build cost. Failure to pay back the costs (for example if voters forced government to renegotiate or void the contract) would also be covered by legally binding charges for ~8Bn, in the example above and rather than paid for over years that would be IMMEDIATELY REQUIRED. So the government and the NHS is saddled with massive charges that are extortionate, just for build now, pay later hospital buildings. ===== What we Can do: We can not (as detailed above) void the current contracts, but we can push and force the government to remove PFI as an option for any future contracts for any public service, and also make government only take contracts where the costs are reasonable, and provable - as often PFI contracts where awarded by only being a few hundred pounds under the nearest competition offer - and then once awarded the contract costs "escalated". Certain politicians (David Cameron, I believe) did promise to end PFI before taking office, but has now changed his tune - force him to keep his word. Force his successor to keep his word. PFI is now widespread across the NHS and is the principle cause of shortage of funding, it is also getting a larger and larger hold in the UK Armed forces as well as other departments of government. We Must Stop It. ===== Background reading: This issue is well outlined in Private Eye 1383 page 10. this issue is also very well explained in the Private Finance Initiative Special Report by Paul Foot in 2004.

This is a focal point of the community of Brynmenyn. it has served well is a beautiful example of victorian architecture and should be preserved for future school children. These once common beautiful buildings are becoming scarce now and the sense of community dies with them. There is no reason for its closure other than in the name of progress. and money. I wouldn't be surprised if somebody has already done some sort of deal behind closed doors on the land.
