Hello all We are a group of teachers at Lambeth College and would like to ask you to support us in our fight to keep our jobs and to encourage the government to save teachers’ jobs and to continue to provide affordable courses for the community. The government has already implemented cuts of 25% to FE colleges with plans to impose further cuts. We would like to ask you to support us in our campaign to stop the cuts to adult and further education. We would also like to ask you to supports us and urge the government to save teachers' jobs and to revise decisions that force teachers and students to bear the whole brunt of the FE cuts. Despite the disproportionately high salaries that senior managers receive, no senior management posts have been lost in the recent past or as a result of government cuts. In fact our principal has been awarded a 13% pay rise and his salary is now above 150k (he earns more than the prime minister) and a large number of senior managers get over 80k. It is strange how no one flinches at the fact that a college with a serious deficit and funding cuts of more than 25% on its budget can afford to pay management staff such salaries. An average lecturer gets 25 to 28k and has not had a pay rise for the past seven years. Teachers have to teach larger classes, some of them with more than 30 students in very precarious conditions, especially in the Brixton and Vauxhall centres. The equipment and facilities are decrepit and not fit for purpose. Management have now decided to make the equivalent of 8 full time posts in the ESOL department redundant. This is despite the fact that it lost 14 members of staff in July this year. The ESOL department recruited well over 2,000 students in September. It is the largest department of the college by far and there are still many students on the waiting list desperate for classes. Stand up to the cuts! Defend Adult Education! Sign the petition!

To plead to the Council to open its empty buildings to the homeless in winter. I cannot imagine sleeping rough in driving, biting winds, snow, ice and winter rain. It's inhumane. It's also inexcusable when we have so many empty buildings.

Many people in Wales experience a varying degree of homelessness at some point in their lives. Whether it be staying at a temporary accommodation, sofa surfing or living on the streets. By allowing the proposed measures it will ensure that there is a helping hand for the people of Wales at their time of need.

Its important to look after our less fortunate people in society .

Its important because there are so many people, young and old, who find the simple tasks of day to day life difficult, whether its due to illness, physical or mental, job related or maybe just down to impairment in intelligence, but whatever the reason, no one deserves to freeze on the streets

We all have so many issues and views which are important to us, but how many of us take for granted our warm shelter? It is too easy to close our doors and forget about the people who, for a multitude of reasons, have none. Let's try and give those less fortunate than us, the very basic human right of shelter this winter. Why does this even need to be asked for?

Many homeless people out there are homless while there are adequate empty houses to house them but are stunted by red tape and Bureaucracy.
