Chester city is under attack from untrammelled developments to provide for accommodation for students of Chester University. There is no restrictions, no planning, to ensure an area can accommodate the student numbers and no regard paid to the wishes of residents who live with the problems of being swamped by the numbers of students living within their area, Within the City's residential areas, family housing has been converted into housing of multi occupation for student accommodation . In the Garden Lane area a tipping point has been reached where the student numbers exceed those of residents . Residents have decided to leave the areas because of the problems posed by high student numbers. With the displacement of established residents by students the area has had an increase in low level anti social behaviour including noise pounding out from house, street or gardens at all hours , vandalism of vehicles , private property, and vomiting and urinating on the streets. The arrival of undergraduates has ripped the heart of the Garden Lane area they aren't interested in tending gardens ,or cutting hedges, moreover they keep odd hours and throw late night parties Some streets in the area in which they live now resemble slums, refuse being left in garden and littering the streets, grass uncut and fences broken. An old pensioner in the area said it was like living in a war zone . Properties in the areas have suffered with physical changes,are unkempt and suffer from squalor and dereliction. The streets suffer from permanent 'street blight'. The use of licencing condition and restricting orders on HMO's are necessary to control the area and ensure that existing residence are protected from further degradation in the quality of their lives . What is necessary is however is policies , strategies and action that address the future demand for student accommodation which do not damage the historic heritage of the City Centre and enable residential areas to provide family accommodation not blighted by studentification

The attitude of the public towards the police in London has taken quite a battering over the last few years and the level of trust is pretty low, along with that of Politicians. Considering the discontent against policies the government has implemented, the ever increasing appearance that London is becoming exclusive to the elite and Very Wealthy, to authorise use of water cannon will further dissolve trust and solidify the opinion that the government is seeking to protect its interests and that of wealthy backers. There would be no trust that these would only be used in major incidents and a belief these would be deployed in peaceful protests to deny people their voice. Previous uses around the world have shown this to be the case. If this authority is granted, it will set a dangerous precedent that other police forces will be able to deploy this too. Politicians and police need to build trust within their community, not further increase the divide that is currently very apparent.

If you were accused of something terrible and degrading that you had not done, and your details together with these allegations appeared on the front page of your local newspaper, for example, then can you imagine the damage caused to you alone? You as a son or daughter, an employer or employee, parent, a sister or brother, a friend, minister, you as a celebrity,... let alone others too like your children, friends and family and associates. Can you see how that would quite easily stain your life having a profound and long lasting impact that could not be erased!? Yes, this regularly happens to innocent people like you and me before any opportunity to a fair hearing or trial and by mistake. The permanent damage based on alleged guilt is unfair and unjustified! It’s done just so that newspapers can have something to print, 'a juicy story', scare tactics or for greed. Sign this petition to reduce the media's powers to invade your privacy, devastate and ruin lives by being able to print allegations with personal details. I had not given it too much consideration until it happened to me and my family. Anonymity is the only fair way for the innocent.

The desecration has already started, trimmers have been out, we have had a temporary reprieve after i had a go at the gardeners and they left. Then Plymouth police wildlife crime adviser got an undertaking from one of the committee to not do anything for two weeks! We have to stop it and stop it now!

To create a lasting memorial in the British collective memory to the genius of Rik Mayall, and recognise that he, and his characters, particularly Lord Flashheart, have become lodged in the national subconscious, but have also consciously shaped a generation. In return for the day off, the public will be expected to behave in an extremely silly way, with as many references to Lord Flash during the day as possible, Including repeated Woofs.

There is no need to use a phone when driving and no call is more important than another persons life. Our roads are more dangerous because of people ignoring the law and they can do this because the risk of getting caught is low and the penalty is insignificant.

It is important to retain Safety Critical Conductors on Train Services ran by this franchise as they provide an effective security presence on board for all passengers, they are also there to carry out "emergency protection" of running lines in the event of an incident.

Safety Critical Conductors are responsible for the provision of customer service and a punctual train service also. Ensuring a punctual, safe and efficient service for all customers.

The Sun have a disgraceful record of journalism, top of the list Hillsborough. I do not wish to receive this junk to put straight in the bin.

Everyone wants to walk beside the river on the THAMES PATH National Trail but at Maidenhead there is a 30 metre missing-link which needs to be completed in accordance with the Council's Rights of Way Improvement Plan of 2005. A recent decision to complete this riverside link has been overturned in favour of a roadside footpath along the A 4094 which will require a PRIVATE CAR PARK built in BRIDGE GARDENS conservation area. This car park will be for office staff and owners of the adjacent property 'Bridge View' in Ray Mead Road, where some do not have parking space and are unlawfully using the existing footway. A campaign has been ongoing for many years to establish a riverside path over a former boatyard slipway. But now the Council plan to confine walkers to a narrow pavement beside a busy road instead and destroy an area of public gardens. BRIDGE GARDENS was secured through a Compulsory Purchase Order by the Council in 1946 when it was described as an attraction quite unique 'for the benefit of all the residents of Maidenhead'.

Because millions of people in the UK are flooding into foodbanks with no recourse from the DWP or Government to change or help the situation. It's time for the DWP to be made accountable and the Government as well.

It matters because the current government uses this to alter the true unemployment figures, the fact that it causes massive upheaval financial and health related does not seem to matter. Stop! Demonising the poor and vulnerable with your media propaganda, we all know who the real villains in this country are, I have yet to see a program about Hedge Fund trading in the capital. I am a unemployed teacher who was sanctioned at Christmas for 4 weeks (which is standard practice now) I won my case and they did not even turn up to the court so i could challenge their decision. I have been in the local paper about my story and on the local radio, (The News Guardian) they may be the government but that does not give them the right to destroy people’s lives to win votes.

On Sunday the 21st of July 2013 our brother the eldest of eight siblings(Billy piercy) who had down syndrome and learning difficulties returning to his home following an outing. The minibus he was traveling in came to an abrupt halt. A car in the wrong lane turned right into the side street, forcing the driver of the minibus to break hard. Billy was propelled forward and hit his head on a ledge on the floor of the minibus. It is thought that Billy had unfastened his seat belt unknown to his carer. Billy died three days later on the 24th of July 2013 at 11:50pm surrounded by loved ones. We believe as a family that Billy would still be with us today if the mini bus had been fitted with a seat belt alarm. These alarms cost as little as £4.99. One of the first questions me and my family asked was why didn't the alarm go off when Billy had unfastened his seat belt? This is why we want to make seat belt alarms compulsorily for organisations carrying vulnerable adults and children with learning difficulties. This is why we have set up the Billy Boys Safety Campaign. As a parent of three children they have all undone their seat belts at a young age. I am asking you to please help by signing this partition and share your experiences by leaving a comment. Thank you from the piercy family .
