• BAN SCOTTISH SALMON IN SCOTTISH SCHOOLS
    Current cautionary guidance from Food Standards Scotland(FSS) is clear, but requires further updating following new data from the European Food Standards Agency, suggesting the exposure of young people to farmed Scottish salmon needs to be further reduced. The most up to date guidance concerning oily fish consumption can be found on the FSS website. This recognises that these fish can contain low levels of pollutants that can build up in the body. For this reason, there are maximum recommendations for the number of portions some groups should be eating each week. The following people should eat no more than 2 portions of oily fish a week: - girls - women who are planning a pregnancy and women of reproductive age - pregnant and breastfeeding women This is because pollutants found in oily fish may build up in the body and affect the future development of a baby in the womb. Pilgrim House, Old Ford Road, Aberdeen, AB11 5RL www.foodstandards.gov.scot However, a recent study in Europe found that exposure to these chemicals may need to be reduced by up to 75%, for both boys and girls. Meaning that children should be consuming no more than 50gms of farmed salmon per week. https://efsa.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.2903/j.efsa.2018.5333 Current Government policy is to promote increased consumption of farmed Scottish Salmon in schools. Scottish salmon also has a range of very severe environmental impacts on Scotland: - https://archive2021.parliament.scot/S5_Environment/Inquiries/20180305_GD_to_Rec_salmon_farming.pdf - https://www.facebook.com/issf.org.uk/videos/

  • COSTA - Profit before taste and customers with Adez vs Alpro Milk?
    The Adez dairy free alternative milk now used by Costa not only tastes terrible compared to Alpro, (previous supplier to Costa) it also allegedly increases cross contamination risk as it may contain wheat. Costa made the best dairy alternative hot drinks in the UK with Alpro, now they taste dire.

  • Ban Hikvision
    Chinese state-owned companies Hikvision and Dahua are used to monitor, control and oppress ethnic minorities in China. Their cameras watch over 1 million people held in concentration camps and every corner of the Xinjiang province, with high-tech features such as facial recognition, behavioural analysis and "Uyghur alerts" to flag the province's ethnic minorities to the authorities. And these surveillance companies are not only spying on ethnic minorities in China - almost all of us in the UK are being watched by Hikvision and Dahua CCTV cameras every day. Big Brother Watch's investigation has revealed that Hikvision dominates the UK's CCTV networks - over 60% of public bodies, from schools to councils, are using either Hikvision, or to a lesser degree, Dahua cameras. Their intrusive, advanced surveillance capabilities are being quietly normalised in the UK. That means not only is our privacy and security at risk in an increasingly dystopian surveillance state - but British taxpayers' money is funding companies implicated in genocide and modern slavery in China. The USA has already banned Hikvision and Dahua. With enough public pressure on the Government, the UK can and should ban Hikvision too. Tell Rishi Sunak to #BanHikvision and #BanDahua now!

  • KYFC response to Oxford United proposal to move to Stratfield Brake
    We have had initial discussions with OUFC about their proposed move to Stratfield Brake. They have been understanding and supportive of the KYFC vision to have a single football hub for the club with enhanced facilities such as a 4G pitch so that the club can continue to flourish. While these initial discussions have been positive, we recognise that there will be plenty of hurdles to come but this proposal presents a great opportunity for football to be provided for the children of Kidlington and surrounding villages with best-in-class facilities for generations to come. Please sign this petition to show your support in principle for Oxford United to move to Stratfield Brake and relocate the football pitches away from Stratfield Brake.

  • Bring The Mobile Breast Screening Unit back to Fleetwood and Wyre Areas
    Every time we ask or even beg for the return of the screening service we are given a different reason for the units not visiting Wyre. The personal messages I have received from women who's lives have been saved by a routine scan prove how important it is to visit ladies in the Wyre area on a regular basis. It is a 32 mile round trip from Fleetwood to the Lytham screening centre and there is no direct public transport, Palatine is a 20 mile round trip and again no direct transport links. People are losing a days work instead of just nipping for a 10 min appointment. When I started the group to raise awareness of the issues this would cause my main concern (which is sadly being proved correct ) was that ladies wouldn't attend. It is just far too difficult. It's a catch 22 situation. If appointments are kept the authorities will say it is working in its current situation but if ladies can't attend it could be read as Fleetwood ladies aren't interested (another excuse we were given is that too many appointments in Fleetwood were missed). Why can't the van rotate to different areas as it used to? It is after all a "mobile" unit.

  • Buckinghamshire Council Stop Financing Fossil Fuels!
    CALL ON BUCKINGHAMSHIRE COUNCIL TO STOP INVESTING IN FOSSIL FUELS The British public generally are rightly worried about climate change and biodiversity loss. But do you know that UK pension funds enable more CO2 than the entire UK carbon footprint? Halting the extraction and expansion of fossil fuels is a matter of survival for us all. Our local leaders must act now. They may say they do better to stay invested with fossil fuel companies and challenge them from the inside, to transition into more sustainable activities. But, “shareholder engagement with fossil fuel companies has not, and will not, lead to change on the scale and in the timeframe necessary” . (Quigley et al, 2021)* We call on Buckinghamshire to stop financing fossil fuels. Start financing a sustainable future. *https://www.cam.ac.uk/sites/www.cam.ac.uk/files/sm6_divestment_report.pdf

  • Get our East Riding buses back
    We are a village which is a one mile plus walk up a unlit country road to the nearest stop. This should not be happening and may take a serious incident to happen to someone before anybody listens. We are on the brink of North Bransholme - Kingswood is edging our way more and more, so we should be entitled to a reliable bus service - our children's buses go through the Kingswood area for high school, they meet their friends in these areas. Adults have asked to have choice, go to pubs and restaurants in the evenings and know they can get a bus home again. People are wanting to use a service like this. Please join this campaign to get buses back so people can get some life back out of their four walls. It's not good for anybody and their mental health. So many want this option back - a weekend bus up to Kingswood and late buses back. People need their lives back and to not feel trapped by a lack of reliable public transport.

  • Reopen Union Street Aberdeen
    The council are proposing to close our Main Street, Union Street and pedestrianise it. The current proposal will have a major affect on business transport and people with disabilities. Our councillors should be consulting the people of our city before making such a move. This is a major decision being proposed. It should be put out to consultation and voted on by the citizens of Aberdeen. This is causing distress to disabled people.
