Both these parks are well used all year round by Vale residents and their dogs in the pursuit of a healthy, happy and active life. A ban on dogs in these parks would have a wide reaching knock on effect, not just on public health, but also on the income of the associated coffee shop businesses which rely on trade year round from dog walkers. There would also be a drop in the prices of real estate in the local area as green leisure areas for the enjoyment of all is a major selling point. The Vale of Glamorgan has quite rightly set standards regarding dog owners cleaning up after their dogs and keeping our community safe for all. However, in their frustration at having no clear way to enforce or police these standards, they are going in heavy handed. A ban on dogs in these public spaces would be punishing many good and responsible people, rather than just the few who offend. It would be an erosion of our community resources, and would stand in the way of our gentle enjoyment of the amenities. We as dog owners have surrendered our enjoyment of many local beaches during the summer months. Any ban on green spaces based on the actions of a few offenders would be untenable.

The water runs in from a spring in the nearby hill and creates a boggy mess on the lower playground. The surface becomes very slippery and dangerous, many children have slipped there in the past. At present Torridge District Council have no plans to replace the climbing frame they recently removed because of the spring but we want to see them do something about it so the equipment can be replaced. This is important to the children, they love to spend time playing at the park. There is already a very limited amount of equipment available for them to play with and it is unfair that they have more taken away.

Hastings Pier is a community asset which was rebuilt with £14 million pounds of public money. Despite winning the RIBA Stirling Prize for architecture, the Pier's lack of infrastructure made a sustainable business model impossible without further investment in profitable buildings and entertainment to capitalise on the many visitors the landmark attraction drew. In November 2017, Hastings Pier Charity's board stepped down, and control was handed to The Heritage Lottery Fund, who committed to finding a long term solution to Hastings Pier. They agreed to prioritise community ownership of the building, and set themselves the deadline of November 2018. A community group called 'The Friends of Hastings Pier' quickly mobilised and have submitted a proposal in partnership with a commercial operator. The proposal includes joint investment worth £1m, including a crowd funder which is poised to exceed its target of £500k any moment. The HLF, instead, have chosen to go for a quick sale to a private entrepreneur, handing him ownership of a rebuilt community asset for the sake of private profit. What is particularly worrying is that the Heritage Lottery Fund are trying to absolve responsibility of this decision - they must answer for their actions and explain how and why this decision was reached.

It is common decency against a lurid, obscene practises that should be outlawed.

The EU Copyright Directive is a proposed new law that could destroy the internet as we know it, allowing big companies to control what we see and do online. It would mean that every website would have to introduce “upload filters” that automatically block material it thinks has been illegally copied. The filters are meant to block copyrighted music, films or text, but filters struggle to tell what legal uses really are. Online commentary, reviews, art, and internet memes could all be censored automatically. This would stifle freedom of expression and speech online - everyones content would be targeted from individuals posting on facebook or writing on their own blog, to small charities speaking out against big businesses and graphic designers creating art. It is far too high a cost for enforcing copyright. We have a chance to stop this in its track. Sign the petition and add your voice to the growing wave of UK and EU residents opposing this threat to free speech online.

This is important for two reasons - to allow those affected by the proposed significant development of the airport to speak and be heard, and to enable Council Members to ask questions and better understand the implications of their decision.

Burton End Road is a main road in Haverhill. It is used by hundreds of vehicles daily and acts as a main thoroughfare for hundreds of children and their carers attending one of several schools within the area. At the moment, the road narrows to single file at one end and relies on vehicles giving way to each other which more often than not encourages drivers to speed up, going way above the 30mph limit, as they don't want to wait. Vehicles are often seen mounting the already very narrow pavements barely missing pedestrians as well as racing towards pedestrians who attempt to cross the road. We would like to see several changes made to the area including -regular clearance of the foliage opposite Anglian Place which obstructs the narrow pavements - metal barriers along the pavements where the traffic goes into single file -a zebra crossing near to Cleves Road -flashing signs which show the drivers the speed they are travelling at These changes will ensure the risk of a child being run over dramatically reduced as well as encourgage more children and their carers to walk to school as it will be safer thus reducing the traffic volume and carbon emissions.

The people in this area have been asking for a swimming pool for nearly 40 years. Together the community have fundraised for a pool but this money seems to have been spent on other projects. We want the council to listen to us and give us the services we actually want, not the ones they think we need. We already have a number of 'dry' services, what we really need is a pool. Swimming is great for general wellbeing, it de-stresses and relaxes, it improves sleep and offers a great alternative to those who may have long term injury or illness and are unable to use a gym or take a class.

This petition is very important as driver's that speed down Field End Road are putting our children in serious danger, as well as us parents. A few serious accidents have happened within the last 6 months, could've been avoided had the driver's stuck to the speed limit.

Five Acres is about to lose it's leisure centre, forest theatre and playing fields. There is a local nursery school also situated on the site. If the site was passed to Forest of Dean district council and West Dean parish council, they could then seek the necessary funding and partners to develop a new facility- which will increase both prosperity and social capital to the area. Thousands of children have learned to swim in the centre’s pool, the local primary schools still use the facility for children's swimming lessons, both the Berry Hill Rugby Club and Broadwell Youth Football Club use the playing fields for games and training, the Forest of Dean Athletics Club is based on the site. Not to mention the various other sport and leisure clubs that use the facilities on a weekly basis. Without a leisure centre on their doorstep, many people will be forced to travel miles just to keep fit, local children risk losing their right to school swimming lessons as part of the national curriculum, and hundreds of children will have lost the opportunity to play both rugby and football for the local youth teams. Will you sign the petition before the decision about Five Acres leisure centre’s future slips out of our hands?
