It's wrong, in todays day and age, that only women are given facilities to change nappies and care for their kids. Come on Starbucks: sort it out!

We live in a plastic world. It’s an extraordinarily useful, versatile, cheap material. It’s everywhere - and it is a growth industry. One in ten barrels of oil is used to create new plastic and production is set to soar in the next 5 years ... contributing massively to climate breakdown. But together, we can make sure we kick our addiction to avoidable single use plastic, and change the system that produces it. That’s why we are part of the national network of Plastic Free Communities, all working on a five point plan to tackle single-use plastic where we live. We need you, our local council, to join us and support us on this journey. It starts here and it starts with us.

People need access to nature and to fume free exercise at no cost. The reservoirs are a great resource on our doorstep currently denied the the people of Denton.

In Winchcombe, Gloucestershire County Council owns a building that for years has been a youth centre. We have seen young people thrive as a result of their time in that space with our youth workers and those from organisations who used the space before us. It's proximity to the Sports Hall, central location, disabled access and parking make it the most suitable site in Winchcombe for continued Youth Services. As landlord, GCC has asked all current users of the building to move out whilst they assess it for repair and decide on its future. We want GCC to involve the community, especially young people, in their review of this building's future so that any refurbishment/re-design/re-let is appropriate for local need. Winchcombe needs a dedicated youth centre building, for too long young people have been squeezed out of physical spaces in our community and they deserve better. We are seeing now the impact of catastrophic cuts to open access youth services a decade ago, as waiting lists for counselling and mental health support spiral out of control, compounded by the recent pandemic. Community Youth Services from a dedicated building can help to support young people at a much earlier stage, reducing the pressure on over-stretched specialist services. Consulting with young people in the community over the future of their youth centre building should be a priority for GCC, however in our communications to date we have been given no indication that this will be the case. Local authorities have a statutory duty to secure, so far as is reasonably practicable, sufficient provision of educational and recreational leisure-time activities for young people and to make sure young people have a say in the local offer. (Education Act 1996 Section 507B) We need local support to add volume to our voice to GCC so that they will be willing to come and listen to the voices of young people. We are asking young people to write letters that we will send to GCC and we want to show adult support for that through this petition. Our goal is that through this petition and young people's letters GCC will actively seek out to listen to and act in response to the voices of young people in our community.

Recycling plastic is only a small part of the answer, we need to reduce the amount of plastic we use at source.

Petrol prices are at a record high The cost of petrol has hit a record high in the UK, as pump prices continue to rise since the beginning of January 2021. The news comes from the RAC Fuel Watch, from data collected across the country, including wholesale, retail and supermarket pump prices. The average price of unleaded is 142.9p per litre and diesel is 146.5p. These rises have not been caused by recent fuel shortages, but they won't have helped. They hit the average driver hard – the price of unleaded has increased by 28p a litre since October 2020, adding £15 to the cost of filling up a 55-litre family car, The price of crude oil is currently $86.09 a barrel, following on from a rise last week, and is closing in on record highs of more than $120 in 2012. The upshot is that if crude oil rises to those levels, they will be reflected in even higher prices, causing more pain for drivers who are already seeing their budgets stretched. RAC fuel spokesman Simon Williams said: 'This is truly a dark day for drivers, and one which we hoped we wouldn't see again after the high prices of April 2012. This will hurt many household budgets and no doubt have knock-on implications for the wider economy.' He continued: 'Even though many people aren't driving quite as much as they have in the past due to the pandemic, drivers tell us they are more reliant on their cars now than they have been in years, and many simply don't have a choice but to drive. There's a risk those on lower incomes who have to drive to work will seriously struggle to find the extra money for the petrol they so badly need.' What this means for you The last time we had high fuel prices like this, government or market intervention saw resulted in them dropping sharply after sustained growth. However in this case, the situation is unlikely to improve soon, as the cost of crude oil is set to continue going up until at least the end of 2021. In the UK, government-levied taxes make up 57% of the average retail price for a litre of petrol, according to the RAC, and the prospect of the government dropping fuel duty looks remote. What this means for you is that you're going to be facing increased fuel bills in the short-to-medium term. Driving more economically will alleviate the pain somewhat, or if you're looking to change your car, look more closely at the fuel consumption figures – or even consider switching to an electric car, which are cheaper for running costs in terms of Miles Per Pound. However bare in mind those electric cars will only be adding on to the cost of your home supply?

Environmental catastrophic implications of the continual deterioration of our waterways. Continual pollution of the sea and its wildlife including fish stock that humans depend on. Health risks to us all both indirectly and directly . Not good enough to continue not improving sewage systems that have been unequivocally identified as unfit for purpose.

All pensioners need to stand up to Government now. If they want to write us off as part of the future now then they should realise this is breaching a contract. We paid everything required during our working lives and to find this was a lie then the matter should be referred to the courts.

Parental alienation is a global issue and many enlightened countries like Switzerland, Israel, Brazil and Gibraltar have rightly made it unlawful. As child safety campaigners, Good Egg Safety CIC commissioned research which generated over 1500 respondents in the UK. The findings, interrogated at source by a leading academic ( Professor) and highly qualified Child Psychologist) evidenced one of the worst child safety issues we have ever encountered in two decades of campaigning. Each individual story where children have been prevented from maintaining a close bond with a much loved parent following parental separation, is a tragedy. Adults who were alienated as children talk about their extreme trauma which resulted in: Suicide ideation Low self worth Extreme guilt Anxiety Drug / alcohol abuse Promiscuity Difficulty in future relationships Lack of trust. This is the appalling legacy parental alienation bequeaths children who are forced to choose which parent to love. It is their inalienable human right to be loved by both their parents, when it is safe for them to do so. According to the Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service (2019) over half (52%) of family court enforcement orders had no safeguarding issues. No existing domestic abuse. Countless others where safeguarding issues were raised, were based on false allegations. We can evidence this and we ask you to consider it carefully, in order to protect all victims from harm and, most especially, their children. Thank you.
