David Cameron announced we’ll welcome 20,000 more Syrian refugees. But there’s a catch. This will take 5 years, leaving thousands of refugees in limbo. It’s now up to us to show that in cities, towns and villages all across the country we’re ready to welcome people now. Aylan, the toddler who drowned fleeing Syria, was just three years old. His town was under attack by Isis. His five year old brother and his mum also died trying to reach safety.We don't want Britain to be the kind of country that turns its back as people drown in their desperation to flee places like Syria. So let's stand up for Britain's long tradition of helping refugees fleeing war. Let's show the Prime Minister that we, the people of the UK, are proud to do our part and provide refuge to people in their hour of need.

As you might know the policy of having microwaves in British schools has been changed. Therefore the microwaves has been removed. The new rule is that teacher will microwave the food for the students and then check the temperature to make sure if it is safe to eat. Even the students of age 15 are not allowed. This might sound like a dumb petition but the students really need it. Imagine you going to office with cold food and then are forced to eat it cold due to being not allowed to use a simple microwave oven. The students want actions to be taken immediately. Please sign this petition and help the students in need.

Property is being used as 'cement money-boxes' by overseas investors, kept empty deliberately and inflating the property market. Refugees (in countries that recent British military action has helped to destabilise) need homes - morally, we should help more.

My 4 children were abducted abroad from the UK by their mother in 2005. The UK court becomes powerless as the jurisdiction of the court transfers to the foreign country and in many cases the children cannot be found as they simply disappear. It is a very real problem which has seen a huge increase in recent years and causes devastation for children and parents. The situation can be largely resolved at the outset by requiring validation, this is a system already in place in the USA and most recently South Africa which does work to great effect. Few reasons exist for a child to be traveling abroad without the knowledge or consent of the absent parent. REUNITE a government recognised charity which gives support to parents and children who are the victims of Child Abduction, would like to see a system of protection put in place as they daily experience the devastation which follows child abduction.

The Paris Climate Change talks start on 30th November. We REALLY are, all in this together. Our Council and every one of us - needs to work towards changing our unsustainable life-styles; in order to protect areas and countries -that are vulnerable to flooding; and the whole eco-system overheating: a threat not just to people, but all living creatures. I am volunteering to co-ordinate 7-10 days, of focused activity in BANES: talks, debates, demonstrations, information-stalls,a Green Fair(?) and generally encouraging discussion and action plans - leading up to Bath Climate Change Day on Sunday 29th November. All groups who can relate to this aim - please contact me with ideas and offers of help. Children's involvement welcome - 'It's their planet'! (eg/ schools and clubs making animal masks of favourite animals that would be threatened by climate change (and it won't be just polar bears folks) - for a Chronicle photo-spread? There is also a need for child-friendly information; that is constructive and 'hopeful' - 'Scary' is a turn-off! I am co-ordinating an anti-clash diary, and posting the final diary of events - mid- November. I've booked a Climate Change information board at the Central Library - 2nd-7th November
