The area bounded by Madgehole Lane, Woodhill Land and Stroud Lane in Shamley Green, Guildford contains several connected wetland habitats and ponds and is ideal for amphibians. This is likely to be the best site for amphibians in Surrey as it still has a thriving population. 1500+ animals have been recorded in the spring migration of 2018. It is a very important site for toads, which are listed as a priority species in the Biodiversity Action Plan. Great Crested Newt, a protected species, have also been recorded on site in 2017 and 2018. A real estate speculator is now trying to divide up part of the land and auction off the individual parcels for inflated prices, under the pretext that buyers can obtain planning permission for development. Any development in this area would damage this safe haven and be devastating to the toads, Crested Newts and other amphibians. The site is highly significant as a toad habitat and unique for the size of its amphibian population. For this reason we seek to obtain SSSI status for it.

Books help us understand the world. They help us empathise. They help create communities. The Radio 2 Book Club on Simon Mayo's Drivetime was a unique offering: it created engagement with people who didn't necessarily think of themselves as avid readers. It gave listeners a voice - a chance to critique books on national radio. And it created national debate about books at a time when, arguably, we need it most. The Radio 2 Book Club was a critical component of the BBC's cultural coverage. Take it away and you take away a conversation about books with millions of people who may not get it elsewhere. Please: reinstate the R2 Book Club. For the good of literature. For the good of readers. And the good of society.

My son Tom is a 28 year old young man with an acquired brain injury. The injury occurred in 2007 as the result of an infection just 4 days after his 18th birthday. He was doing well in his A levels, and then this awful tragedy happened. For the past nine years, he has been supported for care and accommodation by Continuing Healthcare (CHC) funding. Tom's condition means that he needs 2-1 care during daytime. Although his needs have become greater in that time -- his epileptic seizures are more pronounced and frequent -- his funding has suddenly been withdrawn. Tom is very much at risk of harm without this care: he cannot look after himself, and his behaviour is often challenging and unpredictable. A hurried and insufficiently attentive review has judged him ineligible for healthcare funding, because although his needs are 'High', they are not deemed 'Severe' -- even though his 'Behaviour' and 'Cognition' clearly meet the panel's own 'Severe' CHC criteria. None of Tom's carers or family agree with this decision but our responses and appeals have been ignored. Please help by urging NHS Coastal West Sussex Clinical Commissioning Group to change their decision and continue to fund Tom, as they have been doing for the last nine years. Tom is so vulnerable and really needs your support.

Every year, live animals from British farms are transported hundreds, or even over a thousand, miles to places where they will be slaughtered or fattened for slaughter. Animals are crammed into vehicles. Some are injured or trampled. They can be in transit for days, suffering extremes of temperature and can go without sufficient food, water or rest. Animals are sentient beings and feel pain and stress just like we do. Animals are often shipped alive only to be slaughtered at journey’s end, sometimes using inhumane methods. Michael Gove the Minister responsible for farming has just opened a government consultation on live animal transport. Currently this trade is governed by EU law, not the UK Government, but once we leave the EU we have the opportunity to ban this inhume trade. If thousands of us sign this petition and hand it in to his consultation, we could see the end of this cruel treatment for animals.

Most local residents and our visitors agree that the junction with the A4 at Beenham Hill is dangerous. If you are turning right to go towards Newbury you currently have to contend with • traffic heading east along the A4 • traffic turning right from the west, across the central reservation towards the hotel, the old houses which are along the main road and now the new development just past the hotel • traffic turning right from the east to cross to Beenham Hill • traffic coming out of the hotel and turning westwards OR crossing the A4 to go eastwards • traffic coming out of the new development to the east of the hotel and turning westwards OR crossing the A4 to go eastwards • traffic coming out of the existing road where the older houses are and turning westwards OR crossing the A4 to go eastwards • traffic heading west along the A4 Equally there is a problem when trying to turn right from the east to get to Beenham Hill, bearing in mind all the different streams of traffic. The central reservation area is not big enough for vehicles trying to go in the various directions and the road markings are inadequate and ambiguous. We urge the District Council and the Highways authority to install a roundabout as the safest option at this junction and to do it before a serious accident occurs. Some years ago Harts Hill from Bucklebury to Thatcham was changed from National Speed Limit to 40mph after a Beenham resident was killed there by a car driving too fast for the conditions. More recently changes were made to the A4 at Beenham following the death there of another Beenham resident. Let's hope we don’t have to wait for yet another Beenham villager to be involved in a fatality before this junction is made safe.

EYS D&G provide free baby massage and stay, play & learn sessions across Dumfries & Galloway for children 0-5 years. They also provide a 1-1 service working in the home with parents and children who are experiencing particular challenges. Parenting can be very overwhelming and isolating especially in a large rural area like D&G. These sessions provide parents with a safe place to relax, bond with their babies and meet other parents. The play sessions also help parents to understand the importance of playing and interacting with their children. There is a lack of provision in D&G for children 0-3 and these sessions provide a much needed life line for parents and children. Through many personal experiences and feedback we know that these sesssions have given confidence to parents and the impact this has on the development of the child is invaluable. People have made lifelong friends through these sessions and they NEED to remain funded. The benefit of this early years funding will help build a confident, happy support network and therefore a healthier and happier future for the children and families.

It's important for the town not everyone does on line banking.

BECAUSE THE ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE IS CRUMBLING AND NEEDS REPAIRED!

Moseley Friends' Institute was gifted to the people of Birmingham by the Cadbury family so that it could be used for the benefit of local people. It has for many years been managed by Birmingham City Council, who are currently considering the future of the building. Although it is currently in need of renovation and repair, it could be an important resource for the community.

This is of great importance as an international superstar he is by far Pontypridd most famous son and we believe this would increase tourism that is much needed to the town which is sadly failing

Where else can they go?? They are not allowed in shops, hostels kick them out during the day. We have worked closely with the Homeless for 2 1/2 years and have met some lovely people during this time who are homeless. Stop persecuting and help these guys and girls to gain peace from the Council and Police

I cross this road four times a day, twice with my kids on my way to and from their nursery and it feels so dangerous. When my kids are older I want them to be able to walk to the park on their own but as it is I couldn't. Telegraph Hill is a fantastic community park for people of all ages. The upper park is accessed from Kitto Road to the north and Drakefell Road to the south. Drakefell Road is a heavy commuter route, and already has some traffic calming measures including road narrowing and speed humps. However, none of these are aligned with the entrance to the park which is opposite Aspinall Road continuing a footbridge over the railway line for pedestrians and cyclists. Cars still reach significant speeds and parking makes visibility from the kerb tricky for crossing, especially for children. Drakefell Road is therefore a significant barrier to a pleasant car free route that links St Asaphs Road to the south with Arbuthnot Road to the north. Signage identifies this as part of the London Cycle network linking Surrey Quays and New Cross Gate to the north with Crystal Palace and Honor Oak to the south. Installing a pedestrian crossing, whether pelican crossing or even just a traffic island would facilitate access to the park for people of all ages, and encourage non vehicular journeys between New Cross and Honor Oak. Potentially this could replace the width restriction / fire engine gate further to the east.
