Britain has paid a part in destabilizing all of these areas. We have a moral imperative to take in refugees from conflict in these regions, albeit at a cost to ourselves and at the Conservative Party's cost to their political popularity. Refusing sanctuary to these asylum seekers enables and legitimizes human trafficking. Britain's current stance of taking so few refugees is a shameful disgrace. Children continue to suffocate and drown while Britain complacently and self-centredly looks the other way.

The people fleeing Syria need shelter and refuge. The victims in Syria are dying from war, not starvation. This is not a migration issue. It is a humanitarian issue and with 6.5 million Syrian's displaced, asylum is the key.

An application has been made by CTIL and Vodafone for a proposed 15 meter high mobile phone mast/beacon to be build on the corner of Roe Lane and Seabridge Lane. My objections are regarding the safety concerns and the positioning of this beacon. Concerns still remain about the safety of these structures. Regardless of various research reports, their is an acknowledgement that these masts do emit radiation. Ultimately this is something that concerns me as the mast is only a few meters away from Seabridge primary school. I’m also concerned for the families that live close to the proposed site. The area around the planned mast site includes the Seabridge Estate, Seabridge Lane and Roe Lane. You might have guessed – I’m one from one of those families. Aside from the health issues there is the matter of its positioning. I’m not a hypocrite, I like most people use modern mobile technology and understand that mobile phone networks expand. But this mast is being positioned in a way that its visual impact is being maximised rather than reduced. Unlike other masts locally, there is no attempt to hide it or position it in a way that would be more subtle. This mast is being place in a junction of two very busy, very built up areas. Not a hint of subtlety has been used here! In a nutshell, this is a bad location for this to be built. We understand that the signal coverage would be increased yes… but at what cost to the local area? Please help support the residents of this area. Many thanks, Mark

Austerity and hardship affects so many in the UK today and that number is growing. Whilst the efforts of Tesco and other big retailers to support those in need of food banks is welcome (through collection points and other initiatives), offering shoppers the opportunity to gift / donate their 'points' to the local foodbank (and in the event of those who do not have a clubcard, to by default donate those unclaimed points) could really boost their supplies. Good for the food banks, good for the customers of Tesco and good for Tesco too! Non-political, humanitarian, community spirited and much needed. Especially in the run up to Christmas.

As Sebastian Coe is the new president of the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF), he must remain unbiased and have have no outside interests which could affect future decisions made within the IAAF.

Adults and children are dying trying to escape from conflict in their own country. They need a safe haven,in UK, until it is safe to return. UK should cooperate with other EU countries to facilitate their escape, thereby reducing their reliance on criminal traffickers, and then provide temporary accommodation and resources until it is safe for them to return to Syria. NOW is not the time for focus on catching traffickers, nor for political issues, such as limiting immigration into UK

The term migrant can be used for anyone wanting to move from one country to another. The masses escaping wars are doing so in fear of their lives and many would prefer to stay in their home country and will go back as soon as it is safe to. We need to realise this and calling them refugees will help.

anybody who thinks it is perfectly acceptable to have his moat cleaned and paid for by the public should not be allowed to be in any position of authority whatsoever, it shows a total lack of moral responsibilty.

Cymmer is a small community in Port Talbot where there is a swimming pool that 5other communities also use. It is great to keep kids and adults alike fit and healthy. There is not much else in this area to keep kids fit and healthy. The local government complain about kids being obese and unhealthy yet they are going to close the only facility that can help tackle this problem the local schools within a 8 mile radius use this facility for recreational use. My daughter and friends would be devasted if this pool closed. There is an action group set up to keep the pool open that will be be run by the community. Please please help me and thousands of other children and parents keep this pool open.

The House of Commons is meant to be made up of representatives, representing people in a given area and therefore a local form of voting seems most appropriate, however the job of the lords is to scrutinise bills as agents of the whole country. It doesn't take a genius to realise that the current makeup of the House of Lords is a poor representation of the British public and currently completely undemocratic. For a group representing the populous as a whole then a PR voting system would make the most sense, creating a house of the political median of the UKs populous. I believe this system could help us solve the problem of the current bloated House of Lords, maintain our local democracy and improve our national democracy. Finally there is an opportunity for the smaller parties to have a national voice without losing the local representation.

The appointment of Douglas Hogg to the House of Lords is a disgrace. Let's not forget this is the man who claimed for having his moat cleaned and his piano tuned when the expenses scandal kicked off. This is your chance to do the right thing and get the establishment to realise that enough is enough!

Incredibly, people don't know they are allowed in box junctions at a right turn if their way is clear,or how to use mini roundabouts. Everyone remembers Reginald Molehusband and "don't dazzle, dip your headlights". The police don't do it so someone must. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3R7hG_pLaI
