The UK's copyright laws for government works are archaic. In the USA for example works of the Federal Government don't get any copyright protection. The restrictive Crown Copyright rules that currently apply in the UK make it harder for campaigning websites to reproduce government documents in full and don't help information-based businesses. This campaign isn't for the rules to be scrapped though but rather for the period of protection to be reduced to 10 years which means the government can exploit its works commercially for one decade if it wishes to do so. In the digital era a government copyright term of longer than ten years cannot be justified.

Libraries is an essential public service for the community/society, especially Brent is one of the most deprive area in London/the UK. ● Library is for the whole community (children, adult, elderly, disable people and for different culture and religions…). Library is the area which let people to gather and have more knowledge about the community/UK/world, study/self study and can join other activity. And ● If you have doubt about things, you have someone/staff near you. Library make you don’t feel isolation from the community/people and less worry about things if you have doubt on them. ● Library is good for the community, Councils close local libraries; it is inconvenience for people and isolate them, especially in Labour councils run/create deprived area. Children, elderly, disable people….are difficult to go any further and some can’t/don’t go any further as well - Culture issue….and save money for living.  !!! Labour council goal is to make people become more stupid, have no knowledge themselves for the community, the UK, the world. And make them dependent on welfare system for easy to control the area. !!! Labour council/government are often emphasizes diversity country/borough and give different kind of benefit and housing for the people they need. It is just for inner circle. For example: I experience and know deeply about libraries in Brent and in London, and their public service and welfare system… in Brent Council.

Because the rivers have not been dredged for many years, their capacity has been reduced. As a consequence and because of the very heavy rain over the last year, a number of main roads across the Levels have been flooded almost continuously since mid-November 2012.(The same number of roads were flooded in May 2012.) As a consequence, school buses, cars and lorries face long detours and delays, with increased fuel consumption and damage to minor roads. Journeys into hospital, which should take 20 minutes, last over an hour..A number of villages (such as Muchelney) were cut off completely for weeks. Vast areas of farmland have been submerged and numerous small farmers face ruin. Some 150 houses (involving up to 500 people) have been flooded out - some more than once over the last 3 months. In some cases, the houses were flooded 30 inches deep in brown filthy water. More than one famiy lost all their furniture. Householders had to abandon their homes for Christmas and the New Year.One elderly lady, who had lived in her house for more than 50 years, had to be rescued by the Fire Service and has now been living in a small holiday let for nearly 3 months.Small businesses, such as log suppliers, have seen their livelhoods destroyed. The Somerset Levels are an important area for wildlife and consequently tourism (there are no fewer than 9 SSSIs in the area). In the May 2012 floods, nests were washed away and nestling birds drowned, The same will happen this spring.

PREVENTION. This used to be a fairly quiet road. It starts at the top of Bent Lane joining Leyland Way which brings the majority of the traffic from other areas, including the motorway, into Leyland. It ends on the start of Church Road which feeds the Dale Estate and the other side of Leyland. There is a blind nearly right angle bend in the middle (hence the name) and sometimes has cars parked on the road both sides for nearly it's full length. Some responsible drivers stick to the 30MPH limit but there are an increasing number who I have seen and also followed by car, doing nearly twice my speed of 30MPH and have soon disappeared around the bend. At night drivers use it to get from one end to the other as fast as possible (there is no police presence at this time) some I would conservatively estimate doing 60 MPH. You can hear them dropping a gear to take the corner at speed. and accelerating as they come out of the bend. There are a number of older residents living in the area including an old folks estate (bungalows and flats), there are children and numerous pets. The recreation ground hosts all manner of people, particularly in summer. A person is going to be killed it's only a matter of time ( there have been countless numbers of pets killed on this road)

We are local people, determined to prevent the environmentally disastrous white-elephant that is the “Bexhill-Hastings Link Road” from devastating one of Hastings’ and Bexhill’s most amazing natural treasures.We demand an affordable, sustainable transport system for our area, that improves the quality of all our lives without costing the earth.

This is a national problem driven in part by developers with their land bank areas of green belt. The north of Bristol is no exception, where South Gloucestershire Council have proposed to build a total of 22,000 houses at central government behest, and 3,200 will be in Stoke Gifford/Winterbourne, 1,200 of which are being built at Harry Stoke and 2,000 are proposed on the green belt East of Harry Stoke ref: LEOHS. Filton Airfield and Cribbs Causway are brown field sites, more than capable of accommodating the majority of this requirement. There is serious vehicle congestion in and around Stoke Gifford and the proposal will only bring more traffic estimated to be around 6,000 vehicles onto the all ready congested road network

The A814 between Dumbarton and Helensburgh is the missing link in a network of cycle tracks in the area. It is a busy, twisting and narrow road and the pavement is in most places unsuitable for a bike. Cyclists are forced to cycle on the road, which causes delays and frustration to traffic and puts cyclists at serious risk of injury when vehicles do pass.

Carers usually carry on looking after other(s) until they drop. Carers services help stave off this for very modest sums. If they cannot care as they are doing, the financial costs fall on the NHS, Derby council etc. Carers are twice as likely to go to their GP's as the general population. Carers are adults as well as children and it's estimated there are 5,000 of them just in Derby. We need your help to demonstrate the community supports this campaign by 4th January when the Derby City Consultation closes.

To date no country has actually made any serious attempt to reduce our Greenhouse Emissions. The Secretary of State and the Minister of State for Climate Change are currently attending the Doha Climate Conference. I received this email by the Department of Energy and Climate Change(DECC) today 6th Dec 2012 and it states the following... Yesterday Ed Davey has pledged £2 billion of new British aid money for projects to encourage green projects in the developing world. Each UK household will contribute £70 to schemes to tackle climate change in the developing countries before March 2015 under plan championed by the SoS. The SoS said the money should be spent because “climate change is a global threat and with every passing year, the nature and the extent of that threat grows clearer. We also recognise that the world’s poorest will be hit hardest by the impact of climate change and we need to help communities adapt to these changes.” He has warned that international efforts to cut carbon emissions have been excessively slow during the opening day of the UN climate conference in Doha. He “completely agreed” with an assessment made by Lord Stern that the world was being recklessly slow in combating greenhouse emissions. The 'world is being recklessly slow' is very clear, if we do not reduce our Carbon Emissions and reduce the effects of Global Warming, NOW... the outcome will be very grave! There are huge numbers of scientific reports, which support this and they are all outlining the importance of dealing with Climate Change! We 'ordinary people' therefore have an opportunity, to force our Leaders to begin tackling this most serious of all issues. Handshakes and verbal agreements are only useful, if action is taken. The reality is, nothing has been effectivley taken. Most ordinary people blindly believe everything will be fine. Our Leaders will sort it out! The facts state differently. The Kyoto Protocol with all its important intentions, has actually made no impact. Sincere intentions but with no actions! We must all realise that this World is our home. For human advancement to continue, we absolutely must look after it! So my plea is simple, do some research, and you will see an enormous amount of well researched journals by scientists stating the enormity of the task required to reduce our Greenhouse Emissions, is huge. This is our opportunity to ask our leader David Cameron, to take this issue on with the priority it deserves. To take this issue to other global leaders... but this time, to get an AGREEMENT which globally can be overseen officially, by independent scientists, showing that the countries involved, are genuinely meeting their Greenhouse Reduction Targets! Without this, there is no effective way foward! I am not going to exagerate the problems associated with Climate Change, the evidence is all to clear..Flooding! Droughts! Famine! etc, etc. It's pretty obvious, it's just a question of where we each indivdually prioritise the effects of the dangers of climate change. For me it's at the highest level of importance. If you agree... Will you please sign this petition so that we can ensure our Prime Minister David Cameron and Tim Yeo MP for Energy and Climate Change, hears our concerns.

I've been concerned about fracking ever since I saw the "Gaslands" film which showed what individual American citizens had experienced after allowing the gas companies to drill on their land. It's the chemicals they use with high pressure water jets to fracture the earth underground, that do the damage, and the film showed how the poison gets into the ground water, animals died and people became chronically ill and had no redress whatsoever in the States. We cannot allow this to happen to our precious water supplies in the UK.

Given the health risks associated with the presence of asbestos in public buildings, we believe parents and guardians across Wales have the right; to know if asbestos is located in their school to know whether, where asbestos is present, it is being managed in line with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 to access that information easily online.

Shale rock contains natural gas trapped in the ground and can only be released by building a number of wells on pads which drill deep underground vertically and horizontally. The rock is blasted using a mixture of sand water and some chemicals. Benzenes and other toxic chemicals are needed in the process to shatter the rock and release the gas. The water flows back and Methane that has been trapped underground as well as 'N O R M' Naturally Occurring Radon gas can escape. The process of flaring the gas can release the Methane and Radon. Earth quakes can occur and at least 50 small earthquakes occurred in Blackpool last year. The movement of rock can also cause subsidence of a wide area. France has banned shale gas exploration so far and many parts of North America have moratoriums in force because of the dangers to health and the environment. It is a fossil fuel and so is not carbon neutral. The government will fail in reducing carbon emissions and so the green agenda once hailed by the P M as important will fall apart and other carbon neutral energy sources such as wind, wave and Solar power will be neglected. It has been made known that the government will be prepared to give the Shale Gas companies tax breaks when the re start their operations soon. This is unacceptable when so much is at stake in the carbon neutral industry which does not pose health risks.
