Views of the Totterdown escarpment regularly appear in local and national publications as an iconic feature of our city. The Heritage Assessment of the Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone includes the Totterdown escarpment as one of the principal iconic landmarks in the vicinity of Temple Quarter. Bristol’s City Design Team describe the Totterdown escarpment as “an iconic cityscape feature” that requires careful thought for the whole of the Framework area. However, views of the escarpment are threatened by inappropriate proposals for tower blocks (from 6+ground to 21+ground) in the proposed redevelopment of the Mead Street. We are not against creating a new mixed-use neighbourhood along Mead Street, but this must be at heights that do not obscure the panorama of the Totterdown escarpment.

#suezmaruapology campaign: In 1949, as the decades-long hunt to convict Nazi war criminals was only four years old, and inexplicably far-east war crime trials would be closed within months, a Japanese soldier, Y. Kashiki, wrote to Allied war crime investigators. He outlined a previously unknown war crime of such barbarity it retains the power to shock and repulse today. Kashiki described, "The fact[s] of prisoners murder case, [aboard] the S. S. Suez-Maru, a Japanese transport ship, which...sailed from Ambon,...She was torpedoed and sunk... at...9.30 a.m. 29th Nov. 1943. [and] prisoners, about 270 or 280,... were killed on the reason that they could not be rescued. But, we, about 200 Japanese, who were on board the ship, were all rescued..." In fact, between 250-300 defenceless British and Dutch prisoners of war, who had already suffered nearly two years of barbaric treatment, survived the sinking of their 'hellship' transport, then spent some seven hours clinging to flotsam in the open Pacific, only to be systematically machine-gunned and shot by rifle-fire in cold blood, by c.20 named gunnery crew (headed by D. Yatsuka), aboard their Japanese naval escort, the minesweeper, W12. The W12 commander (O.Kawano) and war crime perpetrators (M. Iketani et al.), then conspired to falsify war records, and concealed the atrocity, until revealed by Kashiki, in 1949. A full investigation ensued, calling over 22 individuals for questioning, resulting in SCAP conclusion that, "It is considered that there is sufficient evidence to constitute a prima facie case against Kawano, Iketani, Yatsuka, and other[s]... officers and crew of minesweeper W12,... and to bring these participants to trial." This was no little-known war crime that accidentally 'fell between the cracks', this case was presented to the highest levels of the British Government. Significantly, the British Lord Chancellor, Jowitt, on exposure to the Suez Maru case, responded with horror, saying, “ ... the case of the Suez Maru atrocity is a particularly nasty one, and one which would arouse great feeling in this country as it concerns so many Allied men murdered at sea...” The British Foreign Secretary, Bevin, stated, "...there must inevitably be a strong moral case for bringing war-criminals to this kind of trial,...” and the British Secretary of State for War, Shinwell*, wrote that, "... the relatives of the murdered prisoners of war might well cause questions to be asked if they heard that those responsible would never be brought to justice.” The fact that this war crime was presented to the highest levels of the very Government elected to pursue justice for British subjects, that the right moral and legal decision was entirely within the gift of that Government, and that, in fact, the case had already been recommended to proceed to trial, and that the moment of justice was noted and ignored and thereby allowed to pass our loved ones by, and further, that the entirety of the Suez Maru case and the potential trial was then deliberately concealed from the very families of the men killed, is the reason for this campaign and petition.

While we accept that the council erected this fence with good intentions it became clear quite soon after that it was not required. Other areas of the park have been open for a long time and it seems this fence is just a leftover. It has though, a detrimental effect on park goers and should be removed forthwith and not be linked to any subsequent decisions over opening the paddling pool.

Because our dogs have very little protection from the law. This needs to change - the law needs to protect our dogs as they are protected in England and as they are protected in most EU countries. They need to be protected in Scotland. Please, please sign our petition and help team Mouse make this change possible and get our dogs the protection they deserve.

Today there are over 3 million people in the UK who are still clinically extremely vulnerable to Covid. Not only do our underlying health conditions put us at greater risk for severe disease or death, immunosuppression can cause the Covid vaccines to be less effective. Not all of us are mounting immune response to vaccinations, even after four doses, and as of October 2021, 91% of us were still shielding, nearly two years into this pandemic. Right now the only protection the government is offering us is post-Covid infection: We are being asked to take our chances of getting the disease, which may be deadly for many of us, before we can access antivirals or monoclonals to help our chances of survival. We need a vaccine equivalent that protects us proactively so we can go back to living our lives safely. Without this, we live an isolated and perilous existence. Some other countries have already approved monoclonal antibody treatments such as AstraZeneca's Evusheld as prevention against infection for the immunosuppressed community. We ask that these be fully approved, distributed and provided as long-term prophylaxis treatment to the clinically vulnerable in the UK.

Derek is one of the politest friendliest men I’ve come across, I’ve walked past him every morning on the way to work for years and he greets everyone with a happy good morning, no matter what has happened to him the night before or how cold the morning is. No one should be on the streets for one night, let alone how long Derek has been there. He’s beyond struggling to get housed and is being rejected left right and centre. The nights are only getting colder, and the streets are getting more dangerous at night for him. Please sign the petition so Derek can take it to the Council and other avenues of housing to show what a positive impact he has on the people in Ipswich. The man asks for nothing, he had started this petition on paper and got hundreds of signatures until some inhumane person ripped it up in front of him. Let’s get Derek out of the cold this winter ❤️

On 8 December 2021 the University Senate decided to remove Development Weeks from the academic calendar in 2022-23, claiming that there is 'no clear rationale for the weeks' and are ‘just a half term.’ However there has been no meaningful consultation with either staff or students concerning their views on this, with the decision only being publicly communicated to staff and students via a portal announcement and email to staff on Friday 14 January. This decision will have a significant impact on the student experience and staff working conditions and should not have been taken without wider consultation. On Monday 17 January Chester UCU unanimously passed a motion calling on the senate to reinstate development weeks and is calling for all those who wish to see Development Weeks retained, at least until there has been wider consultation, to sign the petition below.

Each year the Premier League earns around £2.5bn from broadcasting revenue, of which less than 2% goes to professional clubs below the championship. That’s 140 clubs: The 24 clubs of League One, the 24 clubs of League Two, the 12 clubs of the Women’s Super League, the 12 clubs of the Women’s Championship, AND the 68 clubs in the National League. It is time to reallocate football’s wealth fairly and incentivise good behaviour. That's why a fan-led review into football has been carried out. It’s recommending introducing stronger financial controls, proper fan engagement and meaningful equality standards. And that it's all overseen by an independent regulator that has the power to enforce these changes. All of that can be brought together by the introduction of a Sustainability Index that gives money to clubs who score highly on four criteria: - Financial Sustainability - Good Governance - Equality Standards - Fan and Community Engagement

We believe that the new development will: - provide a secure home for OUFC and safeguard the future of the Club - allow OUFC to grow within its means and bring success on and off the pitch - provide facilities to benefit the wider local community, its sports clubs and leisure groups We recognise the many stages in the planning process and the many issues to resolve. Local residents, as well as OUFC fans, must have their views and concerns fully considered. The environmental and traffic impacts should also be assessed and alleviated wherever possible through good sustainable design and construction.

You don't have to be a regular Sea Road shopper to want the place to thrive. It serves people of all ages and it's a thoroughfare from Seaburn Metro to the beach, especially in summer. The paper version of the petition also says: "We are also concerned that, at a time when there is a need to reduce vehicle emissions, people will be forced to make additional car journeys because they no longer have a store that sells a wide range of reliable quality goods within easy walking distance."

Many schools are so ill-equipped and under-trained to deal with SEND issues, they either treat the child’s hidden disability as a behavioural problem, or blame parents for “exaggerating” (or even causing) their child’s needs. School is not an emotionally safe place for many SEND children, and absenteeism due to mental health difficulties is sky-rocketing, even amongst primary-age children. The trauma and damage these experiences cause is immeasurable, and sometimes life long: Many children fall out of the school system completely because they can no longer cope, meaning they never get the chance to fulfil their dreams or potential. As hidden disabilities become better recognised, this problem is only going to grow. SEND children need action, and they need it now.
