We already know people working 30 hours plus etc are struggling on furlough, we know people are dying of covid, depression, loneliness and isolation. We know that this is probably going to be one of the hardest times of our lives. So what about the homeless? We're here thinking oh poor us because we can't work. What about the people who wouldn't stand a chance if they caught covid? It's unfair and its CRUEL. I'm disgusted that Blackpool council are spending thousands of pounds on pointless ornaments and statues when we have more pressing things at hand. It seems completely irresponsible and a huge kick in the teeth to Blackpool residents who actually care.

Keep pace with modern times and if you lose your job you need the internet to use universal credit websites you also need your mobile phone phone to keep up-to-date with everything else. As these are now assessed as utilities shouldn't the government take that into accounts

Because it’s just as I’m important as banning smoking ads ect as it’s can be just as destroying as drug addiction and end up taking lives and also hits the vulnerable art the late hours.

A large number of regular customers don’t have access to the internet and rely on the face to face contact this branch can provide them with to deal with their day to day banking needs. This branch is only one of two banks remaining on South Elmsall High Street and to see it closed would cause huge difficulties for all the locals who haven’t got the means and ability to travel to other areas to visit a different branch. For the foreseeable future, due to the current climate and restrictions surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic, a lot of people are either unable to, or feel unsafe to travel out of their local area, which would mean they are either unable to access their bank accounts and their funds in their or The Yorkshire Building Society will lose a lot of customers to the only other remaining bank in the village, which would be a shame as many of your locals have been loyal to the YBS for many years.

It would be detrimental to this UNESCO World heritage Site, an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. it would generate pollution from the huge amounts of carbon dioxide from the incinerated waste imported from other areas. Plus the disruption and emissions from the 25-tonne articulated lorries. It would seriously damage the visitor economy just as Portland is becoming a centre for tourism. So much pollution for such a small Island is unsustainable.

The parents of Avanti Park school understood that there would be a formal consultation on the possible introduction of a uniform from September 2021 as stated by the curriculum review. The early announcement of the introduction of a uniform without formal consultation came as quite a surprise to many of us. Little thought appears to have gone into the impact that this sudden decision has on both the parents and the children of Avanti Park school. The children of the former Steiner Academy Frome are used to wearing their own clothes and being able to express their own unique personalities and be treated as individuals in return. While we understand that you want to introduce a uniform, there are concerns over the choice of colour and we are asking if you could choose a colour that reflects the colourful personalities of the children who attend Avanti Park School. Please consider a brighter, happier, more visible colour for the school jumper. Purple or red has been a suggestion by many parents, purple seems to reflect the colours of Avanti School's trust whilst also potentially resolving the issue that is causing distress to children and parents. There has been so much change already that has been unsettling for the children so we appreciate you phasing the uniform in over the course of two terms. White is also a very hard colour to keep clean. We are a colourful, creative and happy community. Please allow the children to wear colours that reflect their personalities and ones that allow them to be safe and visible on the grey winter school mornings and neighbouring roads and pavements.

It would give oppertunity to a beleagured younger generation. It would help the mental health of both the younger generation and those between 60 and 65 as they would feel valued. The younger generation are the nation's future and need hope, opportunity and purpose. Earning an income would mean they contribute to the economy. Those at retirement can safeguard their health and have the time to help with child care volunteering etc

To help support businesses during the tighter restrictions in the Central Belt area

To improve road safety. There are too many speeding drivers. There have been multiple pet deaths on the road. Concerned about accidents and injuries.

The residents of Green Tree Brae need your help to prevent any future flooding to their properties. We have a simple solution to alleviate the threat of flooding to our homes. We are proposing to remove the foot bridge and build a wall to block the gap between our properties and the burn. We will also require to divert the right of way which runs across our land from Dyke side to the Main Street (an addition of 40m). The flood prevention measures which were put in place in 2008 have failed and are not fit for purpose. We are now living with the constant threat of flooding. We want to make you aware of the devastating situation we are in and we need to know how residents within the village feel about the difficult decision to request the diversion of the right of way. It has come down to a choice between keeping a short cut accessible or protecting our homes and families from the threat of flooding. We have been given the advice from Fife Council that we need community support if we want to divert the right of way with a wall to prevent the flood water. Unfortunately some of our friends and neighbours who have also been affected by the flooding do not have such an easy solution. We are hopeful that local residents will help us by supporting the only option that makes sense. Can you please pledge your support by signing our petition? To read the full story of the flooding situation at Green Tree Brae, please continue reading below. Thank you for your support - the residents of Green Tree Brae. ************************** Green Tree Brae has been hit by flooding a number of times, causing financial, emotional and physical distress. The homeowners were forced out of their homes for 6 months due to significant flood damage in 2008. Flooding occurred again in Aug 2020, when the Fire Brigade told the homeowners to evacuate due to safety concerns. The flooding in 2020 was extremely dangerous, flood waters carry a risk to life from the speed and depth of water as well as from the contamination carried by it. It is devastating that our 5 young children have been traumatised by the threat of the flooding and that two OAP's had to wade through two feet of flood water carrying wet and heavy sandbags in an effort to protect their homes, when there is an easy and quick way to ensure flooding does not happen again. Freuchie Burn flows within a 1 meter of the nearest dwelling, flowing directly from moorland near the summit of East Lomond Hill. The flow is straight downhill with only one bend where the burn flows under the A912. The last Kilometre before reaching Freuchie is across farmland where new field drains, new extra- large culverts and extensive water channel ground works have replaced the old drainage resulting in a much greater volume of flood water travelling at an increased velocity into the village. The footbridge is built at the narrowest point in the burn, where water is forced between two banks going from 8m wide to a little over 1m at the bridge. Water flowing through this choke point is forced upwards to a height of approximately 3m and the speed of the water is accelerated substantially at this point. The flood water passes over and under the footbridge which then becomes an obstruction attracting all sorts of debris which is driven at speed by the flood. A barrier attached to the footbridge which was installed after the flood of 2008 failed to retain the water as the speed, depth and volume of water were simply too much for it. The barrier has at times required to be physically closed by the residents on occasions when it failed to close properly. There has been no engineering maintenance carried out on the bridge/ barrier in over 12 years. This barrier is not accredited by any standards organisation as being fit to function as a flood barrier. All of the natural flood planes have been eradicated by the construction of new housing and field drainage. The remaining burns walls which contain these vast volumes of water within the watercourse are under considerable strain and should a garden wall collapse under this weight of water it would most likely destroy the two properties nearest the burn, which is why the residents were instructed by the emergency services to evacuate their property. At the same time as Freuchie Burn was breeching the barrier on the footbridge, secondary flooding was taking place. This happened when floodwater ran down the brae and across the gardens. Rainwater under normal circumstances would drain through the rainwater drains located front and rear of the properties, however as previously mentioned these were blocked with sandbags and impossible to use because of the high water level and the velocity of the water in the burn. By using boards, buckets and brushes over a protracted period of time the water was eventually driven from the property’s front doors by the homeowners. To be flooded once is unfortunate, to be flooded twice is negligent, to be flooded three times is a disgrace. We, as the homeowners are just asking for support to protect our homes, at no cost to the village, Council or community.

Thousands of people watched the BBC1 Countryfile programme on Sunday 25th October when it gave this information: Over 3,000 of our 7000 'Sites of Special Scientific Interest' across the UK, some 40% are in poor condition. In England over 70% of these sites have not been checked in the last 6 years, it is 30% in Scotland, Wales have 'no comprehensive monitoring', and the Northern Ireland authority didn't respond to the request for information. The budget of Natural England was £240M in 2010, but £100M in 2018 a dramatic fall necessitating a loss of a third of its staff. The Environment Agency (also responsible for flood protection), has lost two thirds of its staff since 2010, and last year only 4% of reported pollution incidents and other potential breaches of regulations were even investigated. We ask the Prime Minister to honour his pledge to tackle biodiversity loss and return the budgets of Natural England and the Environmental Agency to 2010 levels at the next budget, if not in his own words “now, right now!”, and to continue to fund Environmental Protection with increased and realistic budgets in the future, which meet the increasing environmental crisis.

Because we done it every year since she sadly passed away we do it for easter christmas her birthday and her Anniversary (never had a problem) And we do it so my kids and my brothers kids knows she joining us every year.
