Community Councils are a cornerstone of any community and legally are not allowed to be politically motivated. By allowing three activists take up key position in the Lochgelly Community Council for the benefit of local Labour councillors then community representation is lacking and the process of local representation and local democracy is subverted to benefit political agendas to the detriment of the wider community.

I propose a reformation of the education system, whereby the onus of learning of students is not on the teacher but is back on the students, this is unfair and creates a system where teachers have to do incredible amounts of work, rather than the students. There should be less paperwork involved in teaching and the teacher should be judged on the quality of teaching and lessons as well as the number of consistent or improved grades rather than classes as a whole. Allowing qualified people to teach would be a step forward allowing for greater creativity and well rounded learning rather than gaining a teaching qualification after a number of years after a graduate has already spent many years of study for their first degree. On the job training towards a qualification should also be employed as well as shorter qualification times. A certain amount of discipline should be a key part of the classroom so students can respect their teachers as a whole and the classroom also as a whole can benefit. British education should be comparable to that of an international education, perhaps a return to the older O-Level system would be a welcome return with emphasis on Mathematics, Science and English. We also would welcome breadth and depth in History not just on the World Wars, World History should be taught as well as the British Empire. I have been a private tutor for many years and I have never been as busy as I am at the present. Although good for myself, I want all students to have the great education and understanding that they deserve across the country. Due to pressure from Ofsted reports teachers sometimes have to shift focus on how to teach rather than what they are teaching and many schools are suffering from staff shortages. It is also difficult for me to enter the system despite many years experience since I do not have a PGCE. This could also be said for many well qualified people that have retired from such jobs that would be well suited to teaching, or those that have spent long enough in Education. We want to make the British Education the best in the World again by making it accessible, enjoyable and well rounded and to give our teachers the creativity to teach and let their passions shine through rather than fade over time.

These creatures are nearing extinction due to the few in the East and the game hunters who pay huge monies to kill. We need them to take responsibility for their actions and think about putting their money into saving human life instead of killing animal life.

It has affected over 150 businesses in the Brynymor, Uplands, St Helens, Wind Street and City Center Area, I have personally spoken and taking statements from all of these businesses and they have all stated they have suffered economic loss due to loss of trade because of these Parking Fines. It has also become apparent that there has been a large amount of parking restrictions placed recently where these businesses are located, purposely for the intent of issuing Parking Fines. This affects everyone!

The current Wheelchair Symbol, while internationally recognised, is found offensive by some and confusing to many. It is wrongly thought to be the representative image for disability and causes people to falsely benchmark other disabilities against it. This causes numerous instances of judgemental comments/abuse toward people using accessible facilities, for legitimate reasons, who show no outward signs of being disabled. The widespread use of the symbol re-inforces a stereotype which, is then compounded with media stories of benefits cheats/scroungers faking disability.

if these homes and day centres are sold off to private companies, then ordinary people will not be able to afford to put their loved ones in these places, even as council run they are quite expensive, this city and many others in the country ordinary people are struggling to make ends meet, and when a loved one suffers from dementia it is hard to look after them and your family, and knowing that they are cared for and safe takes a great worry off the families who need these services, private companies means shareholders and all shareholders care about is money, and to make a profit, they make cuts in care, staff and wages and employ people untrained in dealing with the elderly and dementia

The 6 week holidays, has been a tradition in Barnsley forever. However, the Barnsley council have decided to change the Barnsley tradition to 4 weeks and 4 days. As kids, we work our socks off to keep on top of all of the homework we get. In most schools, every school break you get a project to do but, due to having a shorter break we will not have the time to relax AND do homework, study for tests and spend social time with friends as it is Summer. Vote to save OUR social time, OUR relaxation and OUR six weeks holidays!

It is unhealthy for young children too be working adult hours. My reasons for this petition as follows. In other European countries like Finland, Norway etc children do not start school until the age of 7 and these countries are higher academic achievers than England. The physiological effects of these long hours that primary children are doing is very dangerous for their short term and long term health. For example, as an adult. We all know what it fells like to wake up early and come home late. Our stress levels increase in the start of the day. If we count how many hours our children are at school sitting behind a desk or on the dirty floor is inhuman. Also they might be forced to play outside in the cold weather and are only allowed in when it is raining heavily. Ofsted should not be grading a primary on their attendance because the very idea that the government are assuming, that missed days at school will have a drastic impact on the child's future is absurd. No one knows what the future holds. As parents I do believe that under the UN convention of children's right, we are the representatives of these humans and we need to get out of the out of date policies that are still in placed. So please help to make a difference to the education our children need. Thank you!

Chobham is a small but busy village. It is populated by young families and elderly residents. It is also positioned between several major motorways. Residents have noticed a dramatic increase in the number of deaths, accidents, dangerous and aggressive driving. Accidents have involved barriers to houses, walls, parked cars Due to the primary school, children's centre, pre school and elderly population. We are seriously concerned that the next accident is going to involve a child or an elderly person. We would like to see a variety of traffic calming measures introduced to the local roads. These roads include: Chertsey road, Windsor road, Bagshot road and Pennypot lane. We are parents of young children and we know any parent would be devastated if a horrific accident involving a young child were to happen due to factors which are preventable. We urge you to take action.

Farmers with infected herds are unable to move live animals off their farm, and suffer loss when infected cattle in their herds are culled

I'm not a terrorist, my wife is not a terrorist, my kids are not terrorists nor are my neighbours terrorists. However, I do not want government to be able to access my personal information on my device, in the cloud or where ever and whenever they like. If you think that they will require a judges decree to access your data, think again. 1984 comes to mind, they work for us, they must listen to us. Go away, leave us alone and stop perpetuating war and devastation around the world!

The staff and children at Little Oaks will suffer if this change goes ahead this year
