• Batchelors Beanfeast - bring it back!

Its also a budget buy for people without money or resources to prepare a nutritious low fat meal. Beanfeast is an institution!

  • #KnighthoodForNigel
    Nigel Owens has presided over 100 international Rugby Union test matches. He has been a global icon in the sport and a beacon of fair play and honesty. He embodies all that is good in Rugby Union - he has passion, he wants to share his love of the sport and he wants to ensure fans enjoy a fair game. He is one of the first openly gay “famous” people in rugby and, as such, has shown that rugby has an inclusive and accepting culture to those who may fear exposing their own sexuality in what is still perceived by many as a game for “men’s men”. For giving millions of fans around the world the enjoyment of the best-refereed matches ever known, for being a beacon of decency and fairness that all other referees still struggle to match, for providing strong discipline with a light touch and a lot of humour and for acting as a pathfinder for non-heterosexuals to feel accepted in the sport, it is only fitting that Nigel Owens be recognised as one of the most important single participants in the sport of Rugby Union globally in the past decade or so.

We cannot wait for some ones child, parent, grand parent or loved one to be injured at this junction after so many previous accidents. It is important to local people to be able to travel safely on the roads before another accident occurs.

  • Keep Old Aberdeen Medical Practice under health-board control
    This tender would put a profit motive into the service. It will threaten the quality of service. It may result in the practice closing. It has been overwhelmingly rejected by staff in a vote. Staff are now leaving, or planning to leave. All 9 of the GPs at Old Aberdeen Medical Practice have tendered their resignation.

  • New Paddle Board/Kayak and Canoe Launch Spots
    Creating a safe launch spot for people to take advantage of our Incredible river network Norwich has to offer will only increase the use of our rivers. We are spoilt with the beauty the rivers holds and the more people we can get to explore our city via the river on Paddle Boards, Kayaks and Canoes will only show people just how beautiful it is and in turn, the hope they will want to take better care of our city and planet. Safety on the river is also paramount to making sure people can continue to have a good time. It's been great that the Broads Authority and Norwich City Council have recently places a pontoon at New Mills. We would like to now have a pontoon placed towards the other end of the city around the Riverside and Carrow Road section of the river. There are also an abundance of carparks near here making it easy for locals and visitors to the City The river has a vast array of wildlife from otters, seals, kingfishers and fish to name just a few. Encouraging people to use designated launch spots will also help protect the areas where wildlife maybe inhabiting. The great opportunity exploring our rivers by Paddle Board, Kayaks and and Canoes means areas of the river can be explored and left undisturbed and unpolluted.

  • Save the King Street trees!
    Many residents have also expressed concerns about air quality in the area. Trees are important for improving air quality, along with other measures to reduce pollution, and newly-planted saplings can’t provide the same benefits as these existing trees. Norwich and the city council cannot address the climate crisis if mature trees fail to be protected. The council’s own planning policy, DM7, says that trees should be kept as an integral part of development, and that they should be protected during the development work. These trees are healthy, provide benefits for the street, and should therefore be kept. We also believe that, although policy CC8 of the emerging Greater Norwich Local Plan calls for the streetscape along King Street to be restored, this isn't appropriate for this part of the street. Although keeping the look of our historic streets is important, retaining the trees and biodiversity should be prioritised on this site. Significantly, this site is opposite modern flats owned by Norwich City Council, which are set back from the road, so this end of King Street doesn't benefit from the re-establishment of the streetscape requirement that is important to development further up the road. Also, next door is Wensum Sports Centre, where there is very little likelihood of the restoration of live frontages. We therefore ask the cabinet of Norwich City Council not to endorse policy CC8 of the emerging Greater Norwich Local plan and to prioritise street trees and biodiversity in this location.

  • Do not let the Home Office deport rough sleepers in Manchester
    At the start of December, the UK government introduced cruel new rules which mean that people born outside of the UK who experience homelessness could lose their right to live in the UK and face being deported. Many people who moved to the UK have worked and raised families here, but when they fall on hard times their immigration status can mean they have “no recourse to public funds” and are unable to access help with housing or any financial support. In the middle of a pandemic which has left many people out of work and struggling to keep a roof over their head, we should be helping find people safe warm homes, not putting them on deportation flights. For this policy to work, it needs local councils to let the Home Office know details of people experiencing homelessness. Several councils across the UK, including Liverpool, have committed to not sharing sensitive personal data of rough sleepers with the Home Office to prevent cruel deportations, and make sure people aren’t afraid to turn to councils for help if they need it. Sign the petition now to make sure Manchester Council makes the same promise.

  • Do not let the Home Office deport rough sleepers in London
    At the start of December, the UK government introduced cruel new rules - which mean that people born outside of the UK who experience homelessness could be deported. Many people who moved to the UK have worked and raised families here, but when they fall on hard times their immigration status means they have “no recourse to public funds” and are unable to access the support they need to keep a roof over their head. During winter it is more difficult for people experiencing homelessness to safely remain outdoors, but these rules will mean that people born outside of the UK will be unable to access any support because they fear being deported for rough sleeping. Brent, Croydon, Enfield, Islington, Hackney, Haringey, Lambeth, Newham and Southwark have all committed to not sharing sensitive personal data of rough sleepers with the Home Office to prevent these cruel deportations. Sign the petition now to make sure all London councils make the same promise.
