The bus no longer terminates at Fleming Place – where a purpose built complex of flats for older people is no longer served by a bus service. The bus no longer operates on a Saturday – a service that Students depend on to commute to the Easter Bush university campus. There is no longer a service that travels over regent road – inconveniencing commuters and in some cases increasing the commute by 30mins – I can speak for this one myself. This change has affected retirees, students and commuters alike in one of the most deprived areas in Scotland. Those savvy enough to have twitter were given 12 days notice, less if you have the TfE app and no notice if you are not technologically minded. As a direct result of this petition Lothian Buses have been questioned in the Governance, Risk and Best Value Committee by the council on how Lothian buses makes these decisions and whether they take into account the community they supposedly serve. We also have raised the topic with the Transport and Environment Committee on Thursday 12th September. it is key that social impact assessments are taken into account when making these types of decisions to avoid depriving areas of the support they rely on from their public transport services. Responses so far have been poor and unrevealing from Lothian Buses.

In a modern, civilised society, there is no place for this grotesque and cruel pastime. Foxing hunting has been banned in England and Wales since 2004. But Jeremy Hunt one of the candidates to become the new Prime Minister has said he'd offer MPs a free vote on lifting the ban on fox hunting if he thought there was a chance of it winning. This is a barbaric and outdated activity that should stay where it belongs - in the past. We have a choice in this life, we can be kind, or we can be cruel. I think the choice is easy...

I am starting this petition in regards to the decision made to refuse UK residency to a very dear friend of mine. Having experienced racial attacks and prejudice in his native USA, Steffan Chadwick Harris moved to Scotland and has been a member of our community for years, having received a spousal visa through his wife. However, as I’m sure you appreciate, marriages do not always last forever, and Steffan and his wife are currently in the process of divorcing. I lived in the same building as Steffan for many years. Since separating from his wife, Steffan has moved out of Edinburgh and has managed to secure a job working in Kirkcaldy. He has become a much more confident and happy person and is contributing positively to society. We pride ourselves on being an inclusive country who welcome people from all walks of life and I believe that after 8 years in Scotland, Steffan belongs here. I would be very grateful if somehow we could convince the Home Office to reconsider the decision to deny him his future in our country.

There are two plans for Camley St. The Camden Council plan is business as normal, displacing existing companies and moving in more digital business and expensive houses. The Community plan is to retain the existing business integrating them with new companies to create a unique urban development focused on sustainable food co-located with up to 1,000 genuinely affordable homes

Without this facility children with life limiting conditions and their families will suffer and there will be an impact on NHS services in the local area that are already overstretched and cannot provide the type of care that Forget Me Not specialises in. The work they do is so important, let’s hope none of us ever need their support but it would be reassuring that should we be in that difficult position, Forget Me Not would still exist to provide help and care.

Fracking has been proved to pose many health risks to people who live close to sites as well as numerous threats to the surrounding environment. The Government declared climate emergency back in May 2019 - it's time to start taking action and divesting from fossil fuels- instead of promoting the use of this filthy, dangerous and unnecessary process.

South African safari operators are targeting the UK to promote holidays where tourists can hunt down and shoot captive-bred lions in fenced areas from which there is no escape. The tour companies are booked for the Great British Shooting Show in Birmingham next February, which describes “the dark continent of Africa” as “the ultimate hunting safari experience”. One of the exhibitors, Umlilo Safaris, offers packages including lion trophy hunts “in fenced areas”. Another, Legelela Safaris, offers giraffe hunts for $3,000 and baboons for $200. Prices for elephants, rhinos, lions and leopards are available on request. The safari firms are capitalising on a rise in trophy hunting by British big-game hunters. We need to shut the show down as it promotes hunting, and we need to ban purveyors of hunting in all forms.

I haven't seen my daughter since she was 3 months old when she was abducted to a foreign country by my husband. She is now 7 years old. Not a day goes by when I don't think about her and worry about her safety, in such a dangerous and unstable country. My heart is broken without her, I have missed so much of her childhood and I ache to be re-united and hold her in my arms. I cannot give up until I find her but I cannot do this without help from the government.

To Her Majesty's Government, We call on the UK government to practice its influence to bring to a halt the brutal military campaign led by Syrian and Russian forces against Idlib province in northern Syria. Syrian and Russian forces have violated the September 2018 ceasefire agreement with Turkey. Internationally forbidden weaponry and indiscriminate bombing tactics are in use against unarmed civilian populations. Hospitals, schools and places of worship are systematically targeted. According to UN estimates, 3 million people reside in Idlib province. 1 million of those are children and 40% are people who fled to Idlib to escape Syrian and Russian atrocities elsewhere in Syria. An immediate action is imperative. We call on the UK government to take the necessary political actions to save millions of lives.

The lack of resources to support people who become mentally unwell is leaving people in a grey area. If they're too unwell to work, but not unwell enough for admission to a psychiatric ward, they often can't get the support they need. The NHS Health and Wellbeing Recovery College is a groundbreaking mental health recovery college where people experiencing mental health issues can receive non-clinical, educational support to self-manage their recovery. Since opening, the college has supported over 1200 students in learning resilience and self-management, so they can take control of their own recovery. And it works - students who attend the college are much less likely to be re-admitted to secondary care. But now, Pennine Care Foundation Trust have announced that they can no longer fund the college. They’ve asked the 5 Boroughs Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) to fund it, but they have said no. Without funding, the college will have to close. On the 31st of July 2019 there's a public meeting with the CCGs to discuss the fate of the college, and we - the students from the recovery college - need as many people as possible to sign our petition before then. Together we can make sure this vital recovery college stays open.

Victoria uses a wheelchair and has been awarded transport for eight years, but now that she is 16 the funding has been stopped. I'm more than happy to pay towards the bus but Victoria's place has still been refused. The city council have said that travel assistance up to 16 is statutory but only "discretionary" for those of sixth-form age. Without transport Victoria who has a mental age of around 6, faces having catching two buses to get to Selly Oak Trust School everyday. Victoria uses a wheelchair for long distances. Victoria finds it difficult to understand danger or cope with busy places. It is extremely important that Victoria is allowed to carry on using the bus.

This is a worrying time for employees of DXC in Chesterfield, their families and the wider Chesterfield Community. The workers at DXC Chesterfield provide services to dozens of customers from this site including critical services and a number of public sector organisations. We want to save these high skilled jobs for Chesterfield and are very keen to ensure that the vital services provided with pride and care at Chesterfield, can continue to be provided from Manor Offices. If these job cuts go ahead, the impact on the local community and the local economy of Chesterfield will be widely felt throughout the town.
