Our GPs should be accessible at our surgery, we shouldn't have to travel outside of our community to see our Doctor when we are unwell

With the increasing popularity of the North Coast 500 (NC500), promoted in part by Highland Council, we are seeing ever-growing numbers of visitors to the NW Highlands and these people also require access to facilities in order to avoid more cases of human waste being left by the roadside. As part of its budget proposals for 2018/2019 Highland Council are closing public toilets at the following locations in the county of Sutherland: Achmelvich, Kinlochbervie, Rhiconich, Scourie, Smoo Cave, Lairg, Kylesku, Talmine, and Tarbet. The total estimated savings come to just £67,000 per year yet we consider these to be essential services, both for local people and tourists & others visiting the area. Additionally, these closures will discriminate against the elderly, infirm, disabled, and those with long-term illnesses whose ability to do without a regular rest break is impaired. Highland Council's suggested alternatives, such as making use of facilities in nearby businesses and village halls, are both impractical and presumptuous. Do the decent thing, Highland Council: Scrap your plans to close these public toilets.

The preservation of the Sutton Estate is strongly supported by The Victorian Society due to its fine architecture, historic value and its contribution to the Chelsea Conservation Area. Furthermore, RBKC have given no explanation whatsoever for why the Estate was not originally included in the Conservation Area, since all other buildings of that period are, and as a result remain protected from demolition. The Sutton Estate is an Edwarian social housing estate completed in 1913, the largest ever built at that time, comprising 16 red-brick blocks, designed by renowned architect Edward Charles Philip Monson. It was founded in 1900 with the funds of entrepreneur and philanthropist William Sutton who left his fortune to provide housing for the poor. Clarion Group (who took over Affinity Sutton) propose to demolish the historic estate and replace it with an ugly modern block which The Chelsea Society calls “bland and lacking in character”, with a large part of the land to comprise luxury housing. James Hughes of The Victorian Society wrote in support of the estate's preservation, saying “Sutton Dwellings is an early example of social housing which makes a positive contribution to the local area and sits well with the 1915 Samuel Lewis Trust Dwellings opposite. With its handsome proportions it is unsurprising that many residents are unhappy at leaving...Affinity should spend its money on sensitive restoration rather than demolishing this early attempt to address inequality in London.” There has now been a date set, 9th May, for the appeal of their plan, which was rejected on the grounds that it did not provide enough replacement social housing. The new plan will still fall short in social housing by 70 apartments.

It’s important because this man has been in the UK since 1974 and has worked since 2006 and has paid all has National Insurance and Tax contributions. Now the Government are saying they have no record of him. Whether they do or they they don’t, this man has just been diagnosed with prostrate cancer and now the NHS have stopped his treatment and in other words left him to suffer or even die! We must take action. This is against our human rights

Thousands of people from Commonwealth countries, whose families were invited to live and work in the UK when our country needed them most, are now facing deportation. They’re entitled to citizenship - the problem is the evidence they need to provide is too difficult to gather. These people have served this country as citizens, working in hospitals, in public transport and many other walks of life. They have been here since they were children. Their parents came here, often at the invitation of the government, to address staff shortages in vital areas of public services. Their children and grandchildren live here. This is their home. The UK has a debt to pay them and our government should not be treating them with such callous disregard for their welfare and such disrespect for what they have contributed to this country.

We call for a meeting of the full Council to discuss openly all of the Brick by Brick projects. We request that the full council meeting, or an independent review, hear the petitions and objections against each of the planning applications in question - giving us, the residents, greater and more reasonable time to speak and be heard. We call for the launch of a thorough, impartial review of all Planning Department guidance and Committee decisions on Brick by Brick developments to: • Reduce the overcrowding, invasive designs & invasion of privacy • Consider our Communities’ delicate social infrastructure. • ensure architecture and design is in keeping with local buildings and the community's identity • Consider the significant impact in the loss of parking spaces caused by their forced removal and the significant increase in demand caused by the new homes. • Ensure that developments are not within a flood zone/investigation area. • Ensure all future planning meetings are chaired fairly, free from partisan pressure, with common sense prevailing.

Anna Campbell was an utterly committed and courageous woman who put her belief in social justice before her own life. This commitment took her to Syria to fight the Islamic State and Isil, and whilst fighting alongside the female Kurdish Women's Protection Units (YPJ) in northern Syria, she was tragically killed by turkish airstrikes last week on the 15th March. I come from the same home town as Anna, and have known her family for many years. They are all truly incredible individuals who have worked tirelessly for social and environmental issues and are a credit to our small town. Now even in their grief they want to continue to raise awareness of the suffering and the cause of the Kurdish people. But they also want their daughter and sister back, so that they can say goodbye properly to the woman they love so much.

Although the Stockton Heath site is the smallest of Warrington’s three recycling centres it is considered by many to be the busiest. Residents from Stockton Heath, Appleton, Grappenhall, Thelwall, Walton, Stretton, Hatton and Lymm use the Centre. If the Stockton Heath facility is closed, local residents will have to travel across town to dispose of their rubbish. It is important that we show the strength of local opposition to the loss of the facility.

To help alleviate chronic traffic congestion for residents and workers at Hinchingbrooke Hospital trying to leave the Hinchingbrooke Park area. Traffic congestion is a major problem that will only get worse when 100 new homes are built on the former forensic site by Persimmon Homes.

To keep our Library and Tourist Information Centre as it is. Not to close the facilities. The Tourist information is opposite a coach park and car park that is often used by visitors and locals alike to find local directions and event information for the local and surrounding areas. The Library is an important place in the community as there is a wide range of subject matter and an awesome place to go and see a friendly face or two. For some members of the Communitte other than a bit of shopping it may be the only other place they go to through the week. So please show your support for this vital facility and sign the petition. Please also contact Pembroke Town and/or County Councillors to raise your concerns and objections to the proposal for closing the Pembroke Library and the Tourist Information Centre

To reduce the environmental impact of this unnecessary waste.
