This is so important for several reason. 1. most of all health and safety, the skatepark is becoming extremely dangerous because of the amount of holes that are in the ramps. pretty much every ramp in the skatepark has some kind of hole in it. 2. The amount of children it keeps of the street is amazing. It helps them keep on the straight and narrow and concentrating on something they can progress in and potentially take into a career. 3. It gets you fit, helps maintain a healthy lifestyle and makes a significant difference to your mental health. 4. You become part of an amazing community and meet amazing individuals. 5. Gets the new generation off the video games and out the house. 6. It prevents us from being able to entertain the many viewers we get from the public, watching us on the pier. 7. It’s a place to go that people can feel safe and welcome but due to the holes people are no longer wanting to come as they don't feel safe. 8. Everyone loves southport skatepark the design is perfect, the obstacles are perfect and we are extremely lucky to have a skatepark like that in our town. The local council got quoted £18,500 to resurface the skatepark, which I personally think is a bit too high but even if that is the case, this amount isn’t that much considering the amount of children and adults it helps in this community. It keeps them off the streets and It helps them concentrate on something they can progress in and potentially take into a career. I believe it is worth every penny of that money. Their plan is to do 2 ramps a year for 4 years but that means they will be constantly fixing ramps and to be honest the whole skatepark needs doing not just 2 ramps a year. The skatepark need re-surfacing every 5 years or so and I think it’s such a small amount to pay for such a big positive impact it makes on Southport town centre . The skatepark is a wonderful place I’ve been going there for 10+ years now and if it wasn’t for Southport skatepark I wouldn’t of traveled the world doing what I love. It personally changed my life, before the skatepark I was in trouble with the police a lot, I was doing stupid stuff and then I started to skate and haven’t looked back since. A skatepark isn’t just a skatepark, it’s a home to some people, it’s the only place for some people can go and feel safe and to be part of a family and all we want is our home to be safe to use not just for us but for the new generation that’s interested. Please help everyone. Thank you ❤️

not one person up here is entitled to flying start as it’s not in the area, I have lived here for many years and there are a lot of family’s who this support would really help including myself, without flying start I would have to wait until my daughter is 3/4 to put her in nursery and she’s able to start flying start playgroup at the age of 2? We have a brand new build primary school around the corner also the only nice part of where we live. Over the years I see that this change would really help a lot of family’s that can’t afford normal nursery they offer in the village as the prices are just ridiculous, we see a lot of other kids starting there flying start playgroup my oldest daughter being one attended a flying start playgroup in alway. She’s now in full time education but I know that the flying start helped introduce her to new situation, faces, people and things. Which it’s sad to see that a lot of children up here are not going to experience that and I personally think that is going to make a big difference when it comes to then having to go to school and not wanting to as it’s all new to them. It should be brought in at a young age, as of now all these kids are used to seeing is family members and neighbours which I just don’t thinks fair. If by 2 they all go to a playgroup, by 3 they are going to do everything we would love them to. Meet new people, new places, new situations so when it’s actually school time for them there’s no problems. It would also be important to me that parents that don’t have any family around or help at hand that they get there break.

Because they have closed 2 and the 2 that are left open have no complacity to cope with demand

It’s important to everyone it makes us so happy

This closure of the Trent Embankment Road has stopped so many disabled and people with Mobilty problems going down to have a walk or like this year missed the Remembrance Day , as there is no way that they can get to it how the council have opened it up one way but closed it of where it’s the only possible place for the disabled to park their cars

Stonehenge must be protected for future generations to enjoy traffic on a road so close to the site could seriously damage the ancient sacred stones please sign my petition to stop the potential development from ruining this wonderful piece of our Heritage.

This is extremely significant at times like this. The environment is struggling and by removing more species, is decreasing sustainability of biodiversity and interdependence. When removing the animals bodies, less advanced countries do not have the facilities to do so safely which could result in disease and famine.

THIS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME AS I AM GOING THROUGH IT RIGHT NOW, IT SEEMS THESE FEES GOES UP EVERY YEAR AND THE IHS SURCHARGE HAS GONE UP THIS YEAR AS WELL GIVING THE CIRCUMSTANCES THIS YEAR WHEN PEOPLE ARE LOSING THEIR JOBS I THINK ITS WRONG TO PUT THESE UP MOREOVER OUR EUROPEAN COUNTERPART DON'T HAVE TO PAY THE IHS FEES. WE ARE ALL IMMIGRANTS AND THEY USE THE NHS JUST US WE SAY WE TREAT PEOPLE EQUALLY BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE HERE WE HAVE BEEN MADE TO PAY MORE JUST BECAUSE WE ARE FROM THE THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES OR FROM POORER COUNTRIES. WHEN I FIRST MADE MY APLLICATION IN 2014 THERE WAS NO IHS FEE TO PAY BUT I HAVE TO PAY £500 IN 2017 FOR IT AND A £1000 THIS YEAR AND IN OCTOBER THIS YEAR THE PRICE HAS GONE UP AGAIN TO £624 A YEAR WHICH MEANT FOR A TWO AND HALF YEARS VISA IT WILL COST YOU £1560 PLUS THE APLLICATION FEES AND ITS NOT FAIR AT ALL.

Council Tax is a pernicious form of taxation as it isn't based upon an individual's ability to pay. Also it often & unaccountably increases above the rate of inflation for ever decreasing & reduced quality Local Authority services.

There's been a huge amount of people starting to roller skate and we need a place where there is enough space for us to be able to skate freely and out of the way of walkers and cyclists. Roller skating is such a good form of physical exercise and has such a positive effect on mental health and wellbeing. It's so good for the community and helps bring people together from all ages and walks of life. This past year it has changed my life and so many others i know in such a huge way and I want it to keep growing, it'd be a great encouragement if we had a space to properly spread our wings and skate. It would also be so much safer for new skaters to skate out of the way of cyclists and pedestrians.

If MPs have business interests then: 1. They may be compromised in making any policy decisions related to the industry in which they have personal interests. 2. They are paid full time to be an MP by the electorate but at present do not give 100% due to time committments for personal business interests. 3. As an example George Osborne when chancellor had multiple business interests which meant that physically it was just not possible for him to devote enough time to his role as an MP

its important because when people go to the park on bikes there is nothing to do. also the nearest pump track is really bad.
