In the five years since the takeover, the infrastructure is continuing to decline, with even the most basic of repairs and maintenance not being carried out. None of the Clarets4Change six aims (Clarets4Change Statement - https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/chelmsfordcitysoapbox84887/clarets4change-statement-t19263.html) have been met. For instance, there are no new directors and the board is not functioning. When was the last time it met? The Supporters’ Club has unanimously agreed a vote of no confidence in your ownership at an Extraordinary General Meeting (its biggest General Meeting in many years), and along with a potential buyer has expressed its concern at a lack of transparency during the recent takeover talks (Fans' concerns continue to rise as Clarets takeover hits the buffers https://www.yellowad.co.uk/fans-concerns-continue-to-rise-as-clarets-takeover-hits-the-buffers/). Many supporters feel you do not have an interest in or understanding of football. Racecourse goers and football supporters are very different, nobody chooses a football club as they would choose a brand of soap powder. We are supporters, not customers.

Ring and Ride have stopped transporting people to health appointments. For those who are disabled health appointments are vital: to attend physio sessions, to monitor wounds or operation sites to prevent infection or just to ensure no other health issues exacerbate any existing problems. With the recent serious cost of living increases if people are forced to use taxis for these appointments there is a great likelihood of people having to choose between their health or heating their home. It seems quite incredible that for a service that purports to exist "In order to improve access to transport – as well as to tackle social isolation and improve mental health." there is a complete disregard for how essential it is for people to be able to access these services.

Flippers damage our economy in two ways; they damage trust between retailer and customer and by purchasing items at retail they don’t need this skews demand and causes wasteful over consumption.

I'm not on any 'social media', nor part of any political group, so I ask those of you who are - please spread this petition so that the public can have a say in who rules us.

Lidl’s planning application for the old Staples site trashes hopes for opening up and greening the hidden river corridor from Sheffield’s Midland Station to Endcliffe Park. The Sheaf and Porter Rivers Trust are objecting to their application 22/01163/FUL to develop another food supermarket opposite Aldi on St Mary’s Gate. Lidl are using their retail power to ignore their sadly neglected reach of the historic Brook where the Vulcan Forge once hammered away day and night.

This week, the UK’s first red heat warning has been introduced, with temperatures expected to reach 41C, breaking the country’s heat records. But right now, the UK does not have a maximum temperature for working conditions - meaning employers don't have to take any steps to help support workers in this heat. This kind of extreme weather is going to become more common over the next decade and we need to make sure UK workers and workplaces are prepared for it.

The Deadly Downside of a Cashless Society I first became aware of the dangers 21 years ago. In a nutshell, a female client was tracked down by her abusive partner and held at knifepoint. He tracked her down using the cheque and card transactions and ambushed her at the hotel. Back then, she had a few weeks of breathing space because the bank statements arrived every few weeks. Now, every card transaction is instantaneous and gives massive amounts of detail about exactly where you are in terms of geographical location. Many women* I've worked with over the years only had some semblance of a life because they were saving their 'pin money' so their partner couldn't track their every move. In May 2022, I found the ticket machines at Paddington Station, London, didn't take cash. A distressed looking woman tried to buy a bottle of water on the train on the same day. They denied her. She didn't speak much English and said she didn't have a card. I was only on the train for an hour and a half, but imagine in this weather having to go for the full 4 hours without water. On a sweltering hot day in Regent's Park last month, I tried to buy an ice lolly and a banana with the exact change. No can do. The incident in the park did also make me wonder if children are now walking round with debit cards and tapping smart watches. Two years ago, as the pandemic took hold, it became apparent many families don't have a PC or regular Wi-Fi, so I'm thinking the aforementioned is unlikely. * I've said women because it was a woman who first alerted me to this problem back in 2001. I know there is also an often silent demographic of abused men in the world. This move to a cashless society creates several dangerous silos. Aside from those attempting to flee domestic abuse and violent situations and not wishing to leave an instant digital trail as they go, there are also those who do not have the luxury of access to fully topped up debit cards and smart watches. The incident I faced in Regent's Park when trying to buy an ice lolly on a sweltering hot day in London; yes, I know, a rare combination but true, raised the issue of children. Are 10-year-olds all now walking around with fully loaded smart watches? What about those less affluent families who can't afford such technology? And what about the elderly and those who don't cope well with or have access to technology or bank accounts? And what about the homeless population? I've been discussing this globally, and we are all now losing count of the number of places now refusing to take cash.

The Biodiversity and mental health benefits and Cooling of the area in the extreme heat we will have to endure in the future cannot be overstated. Also the Woodland has been officially recognised as a flood plane and if the trees are felled there will be excessive flooding in the Winter and the Carbon released into the atmosphere will only exasperate Global Warming.With the two Schools so close by surely this can't be a good idea for the Children future.

Newcastle has a proud culture of welcoming new arrivals, and we believe our diversity makes our city stronger and more vibrant. We’re calling on the U.K. Government to drop this discriminatory and inhumane policy completely, and particularly for LGBTQI+ people.

This could have an impact on Day Centres all over the UK and it’s not public knowledge.

I started this petition, having researched a prior unsuccessful petition by the UK government between 2010-2015. Circumstances and environment around the station have changed since, ie there are many more users of the footbridge, hence a new approach to the petition is required, ie we need to create awareness and spread the word. I use the footbridge to cross from West to East with my 19-month-old and our pushchair. He is walking, but still needs guidance up and down steps. I also have to keep hold of his hand, as he is tempted to jump and run and whizz around. The dilemma I have is, that I must also carry our pushchair across. There is no choice of carrying one or the other across, so we have to make our way across together. I carry the pushchair on my shoulder, while holding on to my son’s hand /harness (trusting him to hold onto the banister that is really too high for him) and holding onto the banister myself in order to steady myself. Some days I am assisted by a friendly person, a parent, a mum, a runner, a train passenger, who all offer to carry my pushchair across. It is exhausting to try and do this journey every day, twice a day, 5 days a week and more. I do see other people struggling across the bridge with other items, shopping bags (or wheelie shopping baskets), bicycles, scooters etc. The footbridge and one platform are not accessible to wheelchair users (apart from the platform serving trains from Castle Bar Park to West Ealing). That excludes anyone wishing to travel to West Ealing to connect to the Elizabeth Line and any destination beyond. PLEASE SIGN NOW.....or read on for FURTHER INFORMATION: Review footbridge structure for these reasons: 1. Volume of traffic for footbridge - based on local facilities 2. Condition of footbridge 3. Available funds 4. Design criteria for footbridges RE 1.

For example Brent Valley Park, Brent Lodge Park, Pitshanger Park, Cleveland Park, Cuckoo Park; including the sports facilities available within these parks (Pitshanger FC Clubhouse, Will to Win, Drayton Manor Playing Field, Ealing Hanwellians Cricket Club etc.) RE 2. State and condition of the footbridge All of the treads are worn and uneven. Some of the nosing (tip of the stair) is either worn or has fallen off Backs of stairs are either rusty or one of them has come away and there is no back Structure is uneven. Structure is unsafe and has a temporary fix. Stairs only for East station approach. Ramp access for West station approach. No colour contrast or bubble pavement at the bottom of the stairs of station approach, only for footbridge platform to platform. RE 3. Available funds The recent Building Developments in the area and immediate vicinity (Alton Court by copleyhanwellw7.co.uk and Ipswich Court by copleyhanwellw7.co.uk) would have contributed a Community Infrastructure Level to the local council (EBC). They would have qualified for CIL and in turn this levy payment would have presented EBC with reasons and means to review transport and other factors in the area and spend the levy according to what is needed. This footbridge and the general surrounding infrastructure have been ignored. RE 4. Design criteria for footbridges (CD353), Highway Structures & Bridges Design Present condition and structure of footbridge do not match standards.

Dear Mr Henderson, as you are most probably aware the Island has been without water for nearly three days! In such a modern society this is totally unacceptable and could have been prevented if the water infrastructure had been modernised along with the thousands of new homes being built putting extra strain on an already antiquated system! Frequent leaks on a regular basis have been tolerated thus far but the last few days have brought this issue to a head. This simply cannot continue! We are campaigning for Sheppey to gain funding for an adequate infrastructure to match the increased influx of population due to the mass ongoing building on the island! On a personal note yesterday I had to have minor operation in Medway hospital and it took over three hours to get home due to the laying of a temporary fire hose ( totally needed) but as usual at the expense of the island resulting in grid lock and traffic backed up to Gillingham. This could all have been prevented if the water infrastructure had been addressed in the beginning! We would like you to address this issue with urgency before this happens again. We would like new housing plans to be suspended or postponed until plans are put in place to update our island infrastructures to match the population increase! Elizabeth Price
