Greater safety for Primary School Children in Horncastle has been a stated priority for parents, school heads, and the Town Council for a considerable time. Responses from the County Council to these requests in the past have indicated that there is no money for these changes, and/or there is no 'suitable location' for the crossing on this 'A' road. We believe that this is wrong, and that no price can be put on the safety of Horncastle's school children. We demand that Horncastle residents are listened to, and the changes are implemented immediately.

WATCH AND SEE You Tube..THE ECO TRIPLETS The Great BIG Crisp PACKET CAMPAIGN https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Fjo59d6RBc&t=2s The children of the UK (and North Herts) are fed up with their grown ups lying to them about the environment and pollution. It is the children who will inherit this polluted earth with plastic filled seas and land. People have been collection Crisp packets for over 2 years now yet the problem of littering, wildlife and sea life choking and landfill is worse than ever. We keep being fobbed off and told "they are working on it.".. well 2015 is too long to wait... and the KIDS want action now. You are making too many packets a day for us to wait that long. This is not responsible and not sustainable. Its not fair! Is it just about profits, what about the cost to the environment? We want to ask THE BIG CRISP MAKERS .. If we can fly to the moon why can't we make recyclable Crisp Packets? Why can't you make Crisp Packets that can be re-Cycled at Home? 2025 is too long to wait, we need these packets now. 2 farmers in Herefordshire have done it! They have plastic free packets so it proves it can be done, a great example of British Environmental Ingenuity. These plastic free packets have been around for over two years, so why are these packets not compulsory for anyone selling crisps or snacks in the UK? If the other companies ignore us then by raising awareness we can perhaps raise money to subsidise these 2 Farmers and get their Crisps available to the masses.? More questions that are being raised.... Are our Crisp Packets even being Re- cycled at Terra Cycle or is this just Green Washing? Well the kids don't want to be lied to anymore and want to ask the Big Crisp Makers what is going on. Grown ups, stop lying to children, if you really care then do something!

Unlike England, Scotland and Wales, NI still does not have a budget or scheme in place for free period products in all school toilets. Yet again, we have been left behind. Schools already provide free toilet roll, hand soap, hand towels and sanitary waste disposal bins in toilets. What makes period products any different? We firmly believe that any toilet that requires toilet roll, requires period products in exactly the same way. In June 2020, a Plan international UK study showed how 3 in 10 UK girls have struggled to afford or access sanitary wear during lockdown, with over half (54%) of these girls having used toilet paper as an alternative. There is no doubt that period poverty has been exacerbated as a result of the current pandemic and the need to maintain good hygiene has never been more important. Due to extensive job losses, an increase in people using food banks, and many other local support services being cut, families have been hard hit and are under more financial pressure than ever. At the Homeless Period Belfast, we have seen an exponential increase in demand and requests for our own period packs. In April – June 2020 we received 3 times the demand than previous years. Now, more than ever, a free period products scheme in schools across NI will relieve the financial pressure on parents and students purchasing these items. It will also alleviate the pressure of school students having to remember to carry period products in their bags when there are many other things to worry about and remember to bring (exams, books, homework, hand sanitiser/masks, bus passes etc.), meaning students can go about their daily lives without getting caught out. Free period products in schools will ensure that every young person can learn and be their very best, without the worry of their next pad or tampon holding them back. https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/northern-ireland-behind-as-rest-of-uk-signs-up-for-free-sanitary-products-in-schools-38022610.html

Dr Ian Roberts, ran into a fireball to save a driver with open face helmet, with little regard to his own safety, he would have gone even further to extract Romain from the car if required.

This has become especially important, as on Friday 27/11/2020 my 9 year old son was knocked over by a vehicle right in front of the school gate, while crossing the road.

Whilst millions have suffered as a result of loss of business, loss of earnings, loss of income, due to restrictions imposed upon the nation. Government ministers have consistently and flagrantly handed many billions of pounds worth of contracts to very questionable associates. The very audacious and spurious granting of such vast amounts of public money. Under the Seven Principles of public life, ministers have knowingly and willfully engaged in fraud, deception, collusion and deceit

Because they were so amazing and an incredible band who everyone misses soooo much and we needed their entertainment and music in lockdown.

So-called virginity tests involve a doctor observing or penetrating the vagina with their fingers to see if the woman has had sex. At least 21 clinics right here in the UK offer these tests, which are intrusive and demeaning. These tests exist for a disturbing reason: because some people place value on women's bodies only when they are 'pure'. No woman should have to prove her virginity, to anyone, ever. Not to a partner, not to their family, and certainly not by paying to be assaulted by a stranger! These 'tests' are unscientific - they cannot even prove virginity! Let's get this shameful practice banned and better protect women: https://inews.co.uk/news/health/virginity-testing-uk-private-clinics-hymen-repair-surgery-investigation-775214 https://www.bbc.com/news/health-51189319

As austerity simply hasn't worked and never will work. The last 10 years of cuts to public services has been pointless due to this economic crisis we currently face. What is the point of austerity if we have no idea how long round the corner the next finacial crash is. Hard working people should not have to pay the price and carry the burden of a virus nobody asked for.

because it will keep lots of young people out of trouble and will give lots of children a chance to play football with their friends and have fun excising

Local people tell us the library is poorly placed for many of the potential users - we support a move to the Broadway where it could be a true library for the community and provide much needed support to that local centre. After a successful campaign involving thousands of Essex residents, Essex County Council (ECC) U-turned on its plans to close a third of its libraries, including Debden Library. However, in its place ECC proposed establishing so-called 'community libraries', where libraries would not just be run by volunteers who would even need to supply the building, with little financial support. This is a closure plan by stealth. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RJgKuJocWd9h6ylE72C0inYmGBLOgM43/view?fbclid=IwAR3mBwFszgO-PDcYWPMPqydTqsDYoRw29arF_bQA8_2CxsZGd8K07wdmoEM). Debden Library was the first confirmed takeover bid for an Essex library - the good news is that this plan was withdrawn with no agreement between the New City College and Essex County Council. Essex County Council are setting up "community libraries" to fail. The lack of groups coming forward reflects this - people are unwilling to take on costs when Essex have a statutory obligation to deliver the service. Communities all contribute towards the universal provision - why should some have to pay again through volunteering and fund raising? Essex County Council should be led by what the local community wants and continue with its statutory duty to provide a professionally staffed library service on an accessible site. You can still please sign and share this petition to say we have a more positive vision - a library on the Broadway remaining in the accountable control of the Council.

The UK is still in the middle of a pandemic with many families either still furloughed or struggling to make ends meet. Yet the Wheatley Group still want to increase rent by 2.2%
