• De-power Scottish Natural Heritage
    To keep a balance for all who live or use the environment. Also to protect more those species that are on the endanger list from extinction and full information has to be giving to justify why species that are protected have to killed. So that we in the future are not asking questions why species that are still depleting partly due to licenses being issues and also toughen up the laws on those who kill protected species illegally.

  • Save Vale Square
    The Vale Square Residents Association have been looking after this community garden for over 32 years. Vale Square is an asset of community value. The council have refused to answer emails regarding this issue and have refused an offer to buy the square by residents stating they must bid for the property in open auction. Friends of Vale Square have invested time and money £4,000 each year to maintain the grounds including the trees which have a preservation order. Vale Square is used by local groups and is available for use by the community. It is an asset to be treasured and kept for future generations and should not just be disposed off.

  • Stop Suffragette statue being removed from Parliament
    This statue was funded by suffragettes and has stood in place since 1930. It would be disrespectful to move the statue from the public eye on the centenary of women's suffrage. We've made so much progress in the realm of women's rights but moving a feminist hero like Pankhurst away from the heart of UK politics would be a step backwards

  • To stop the SNH culling innocent birds such as Ravens, Robins, Starling etc.
    This is especially important as the Scottish Natural Heritage's job, as most see it, are there to protect wildlife and birds. Not give licences to destroy them The RSPB have some of these birds on their red list "A number of our garden birds like house sparrows, starlings and song thrushes have been on the red list for a while; this time around we see the addition of mistle thrushes. Read more at https://www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wildlife/wildlife-guides/uk-conservation-status-explained/#CXFzreJo5j74dJGl.99" So to actual issue licences to destroy these very birds is ridiculous! Please sign and make them aware of our thoughts and feelings on this subject

  • Save the Forward Centre
    The Forward Centre was purpose built 35 years ago as a base for adults with physical disabilities to meet others who faced similar problems and encourage each other to try things they had never thought of doing Many of the activities require specially trained staff to assist people with a wide range of disabilities often caused by accidental injuries or long term illness The Social Work Services are having to make cuts of £100,000 to their annual budget and the only way open to them is buildings or staff. If the staffing levels are reduced the service to the members will suffer so they have decided to demolish a perfectly sound building

  • Stop Veterinary Surgeons Profiteering From Our Wildlife
    We would like all Veterinary Practices to be bound by a national code of conduct and anyone rescuing sick or injured wildlife should have the assurance the animal will receive the same care throughout the country at no cost. We accept veterinary practices have overheads and bills to pay but as custodians of the planet we are surely all obligated to be responsible for all wildlife care and welfare. The level of responsibility and treatment offered varies enormously. Some surgeries will offer care and medication free, some will only carry out euthanasia with no attempt to treat or rehabilitate even a minor injury. The worst will cruelly suggest returning the animal to where it was found to die, untreated and still suffering for lack of remuneration.

  • Reinstate the Preston to Fleetwood rail link
    Dr Beeching started the closure of the rail link and Fleetwood, a seaside town on a peninsula, has been in decline since. The infrastructure to and from this beautiful town is diabolical. It is quicker to fly to Geneva from Lancaster than get to Westminster from Fleetwood. It is 5 miles to the nearest station which is gridlocked at peak times. There is no direct bus to the station and 35.2% of Fleetwood residents do not own a car which is above the 32% National average. The whole of the district of Wyre, approximately 110,000, have had one train station since 1970 when the last passenger train left Fleetwood. With the creation of more houses in Wyre another train station is needed and with the shortening of the platform at Poulton-le-fylde meaning no direct trains to London/Glasgow can stop in Wyre the reinstatement direct to Preston is needed.

  • Twenty two trees
    The Rossmere Park Island has the only breeding colony of Egrets in the whole county. If these birds move on because of the disturbance on the Island they will not come back. Not only do these trees add to the character of the park, they form a vital part of the local ecology for the Park’s large Bat colony.

  • Car seat safety stars
    Currently, any seat which passes the European regulations ECE R44 04 or ECE R129 can be approved for sale. However, the level at which the seat passes can vary considerably, and car seats perform very differently in real life crash situations, meaning some offer more protection than others. The cost of car seats is no indication of performance in crash testing. Some of the more expensive seats, have not performed as well in crash testing as less expensive seats. The performance of the car seats should be something that is made clear to consumers, so that parents and carers can make an informed decision for their family, and have a true understanding of what it is they are spending their money on.

  • Introduce a mining exhibition at Snibston Colliery
    It is important to keep the mining heritage alive around Leicestershire. The miners and their families are passionate about having their heritage continued.The council should make sure there is an exhibition of all the mining works and tours of the mining shaft. The history that surrounds Snibston Colliery is truly remarkable as George Stephenson and his son Robert Stephenson were very much part of the setting up and sinking of a shaft at Snibston in Coalville, therefore it is important that we keep this legacy going. In 2015 it was very sad when the Snibston Discovery Park was demolished, a lot of people fought to keep this alive. It was an amazing exhibition with hands on products for children to see and had an auditorium for films etc. The place now looks very derelict with only the Century Theatre.

  • No to ‘3 Weekly Bin Collection’
    Reducing bin collection to a 3 weekly basis has rubbed salt in the wounds of many St Helens residents including myself. For a town that has so much to offer, that has so much potential, it appears this council is holding the town back. Promised changes and regeneration initiatives have not been seen, as our town centre sinks into deprivation and shops in our high street begin to close. The absolute mess that is Windle Island, the closure of libraries and rising crimeis also contributing to this. Public consultations are put about, but it appears that councillors do not look into the results they find. In the last local elections, Labour lost a seat in Rainhill - this has obviously not shaken up the PLP, CLP or LLP. The council cannot test the resolve of the electorate, as the people who have voted you in can vote you out.

  • Don't give Trump planning permission
    Trump wants to build 500 “luxury” houses on a protected Aberdeenshire coast. These homes will be unaffordable to anyone except the rich, featuring villas planned to sell for over £1 million. No plans for affordable houses, which were promised as part of the planning permission, have been made public. They do not appear in the proposed development brochure. This location is entirely inappropriate for a housing scheme; it’s far from amenities and is opposed by people living nearby. Planning permission for the golf resort was issued on the basis that the “economic benefit outweighed the environmental harm”. But the rare protected dunes that form part of the estate have been “partially destroyed” since Trump began construction on the resort, and there’s been little benefit to the community. Trump cannot be trusted to deliver on his promises for this resort, and this new development will further damage the beautiful North Sea coastline whilst lining his own pockets. What’s more, we’re signing Scotland away to a man who deals in lies and hate, which will damage the country’s reputation.
