During the pandemic, and over the last 75 years, our NHS and its dedicated workers have provided us with the critical health care we need in our daily lives. But right now, the NHS is struggling and could reach breaking point unless we act. According to 38 Degrees research: • 50% of us in Amber Valley have said that we or a family member had experienced difficulty booking an appointment with a local GP in the last year. • 11% of us in Amber Valley are reporting bad or very bad health, up from 6% in 2011 • Nationally the number of people reporting bad or very bad health in Great Britain has DOUBLED since the 2011 census - from 6% to 12% • Up to 2 million people are effectively on an NHS “shadow waiting list”, waiting to be referred for primary care treatment The Government has failed to fix this problem in their backlog plan, and we need that to change. Steve Barclay, as Secretary of State for Health, is responsible for fixing the backlog in England. There's still no meaningful plan to address access to primary care, despite how important this is to the public. We are demanding that Steve Barclay urgently publish and deliver a REAL, properly resourced plan to tackle the backlog in primary care. Until then, we'll all still be waiting.

Some 8,500 residents live in the Walsworth side of Hitchin but their ability to access the town’s railway station is hugely constricted, forced to walk on a narrow path under the railway bridge. People in Letchworth and the villages outside Hitchin also access the station, adding to traffic and congestion. Over the years, the County Council, the District Council and Hitchin’s MP have come together with Network Rail to discuss how to open up the station, creating access via the London-bound platform to alleviate commuter congestion. With more homes being built locally, it’s critical we get moving on this project.

Many young people do not fit the system as designed for the majority - those young people are vulnerable and in need of equity. Asylum seekers have no legal right to work in Scotland - they are therefore forced to survive on less money than most households. Free bus travel has revolutionised access for young people in Scotland and a group which would benefit greatly is excluded from the process by bureaucracy. It’s an oversight which could be addressed very simply but the impact would be huge. In addition, the most disadvantaged households often face more setbacks for access to free services and acknowledging this and addressing it is an important factor in moving forward with inclusive policy.

When a female or male suffers sexual abuse often as a child at the hands of an adult it leaves lasting emotional and physical scars that never go away. Then forward to being forced to strip naked and "show" your nudity and genitals to another person and be forcibly pinned down and touched intimately at the hands of a police officer, whether it be female or male, brings feelings of controlling coercive abuse - the very thing that an abuse victim reports to police and runs away from their abuser. Police don't give you a choice and will pin you down and force it onto you no matter how you plead with them not to. Can you imagine the emotional turmoil? The physical pain? The anxiety? The panic? If you've never felt such feelings then think of the thing you fear worst and multiply by 1000. To the victim this feels like rape, all over again but by multiple perpetrators. In my eyes this makes the police nothing more than legalised paedophiles or rapists - controlling coercive rapists. Now, in that situation what do you do next? Lash out at a police officer to stop them and then get arrested and charged with assaulting a police officer? Or worse - 6 officers (as that is how many it took) to force you onto the floor legs spread for all them to see your private genitals. How can this be right in this supposedly civilised society? Or is your next thoughts suicide once you're released back home and you have the torture of legalised rape playing on your mind over and over. How? Why? How have the police been given such powers of control? Suicide is possibly the next plan of action as now you not only have your past rape constantly on your mind, you also have police rape on your mind. Can you imagine how many rape victims suffer this torture again at the hands of the police? If this were to happen anywhere other than in a police cell you'd be phoning the police for protection ...wait ...YOU'D BE PHONING THE POLICE FOR PROTECTION ... Yes you read that right. My petition is simple - stop strip and search for rape or sexual abuse victims. There has to be a kinder way, like taking that person to a room with a gender equal nurse where the search could be done in private. I bet there are many victims of this torture who think nothing will change so they don't bother trying to challenge or complain about the abuse they feel and go home and try or even succeed at suicide. The people's voice has a right to be heard.

It will disrupt the community system of daily activities. And this area will be caught off from the society which means there is no equality for the people with others with buses.

I gave birth to my little boy Albie on the 24th of December 2021. I was supposed to have a caesarean section as he was breach but I travelled 45 minutes to Worcester just to find out that I was 4 cm dilated but had to wait to have my caesarean as all of the rooms were taken up. Within the space of half an hour of them moving me to the delivery suite I was 10cm and was forced to give birth breach as nothing had been done at this point. My little boy ended up coming out with meconium aspiration syndrome as a result of this and had to go to Birmingham children's to have maximum life support. He was in hospital for the first month of his life. We desperately need our maternity and children's services back at the Alexandra hospital as there are many mums in Redditch that are having to travel to Worcestershire Royal to give birth when there is a perfect hospital here in Redditch but we are being forced to travel over to Worcester. This means a lot to me as I don't want any more mothers from Redditch to have to travel all the way over to Worcester like me. I know two other mums who have done so and we all had traumatic experiences.
