• Save West Denton swimming pool
    Many people rely on this pool to stay fit and healthy, many have no transport to get to a pool in another area. Children rely on learning a valuable life skill with swimming, I pay for my son to learn how to swim, the other areas are fully booked so he just has to do without this skill. We need the council to listen, more and more houses are being built and more and more facilities are being removed. Stop the closure of West Denton pool, the council have an obligation to keep this open one way or another.

  • Extend the theory test
    Trying to book my driving test since the online booking became available. However after many hours of waiting online to book, I find out that the online booking system has been closed, meaning I can't book. I have tried since only to have the same problem and to be 250700 in the queue. After waiting all day to try and book, I find that the online booking system has been taken offline again. For this reason I feel that it is only fair to extend the theory test certificateion for another six months, because test centres was closed for nearly 6 months, also the online booking system keeps closing, meaning that you can't even book a test. After hearing that Mot's are expected I only feel that it's fair to extend the theory test.

  • Stop rural speeding in Crowntown
    Rural speeding by motorists has become an ever more daily experience for all rural residents and this is especially so for those who live in the Crowntown area of Sithney Parish near Helston in Cornwall. The road between Helston and Camborne and Hayle has become a major commuter link and Crowntown experiences amongst the highest speeds through it as it is one of the few only straight pieces of road on the route. It has been estimated that speeds of up to 80mph have been witnessed on a daily basis. It is only a matter of time before serious injuries or fatalities occur. Sithney School is on the route and the substantial increase in new housing in the area has led to more pedestrians and people leaving their properties, both on foot and in their cars. Many residents report 'near misses' in this respect and have learned to be anxious about leaving their homes to use the road. The development of a local Speedwatch group was discussed in the early part of 2020, but the Covid-19 Pandemic has put paid to anything like that for the foreseeable future. The views and daily experiences of Crowntown and other local residents similarly affected (such as those in the Pednvounder area south of Crowntown), whilst supported by Sithney Parish Council, are not being listened to and heard by Cornwall Council, who have the power to introduce traffic calming measures, both to reduce speeds as well as to identify offending behaviour. The Council must listen, hear and, most importantly, act now.

  • Traffic Speeds on Clifton Grove
    We have lost two cats and several more have died due to reckless speed entering and departing Clifton Grove. Children play in the street due to not having gardens. It is only a matter of time before a child is injured or killed in this very narrow cul-de-sac.

  • Special Educational need provision in Scotland
    The life chances and potential of special needs children should not be adversely impacted by budget cuts, it is the responsibility of all of us to ensure these children are provided with an education fit for their needs and to make sure these policies are written putting the children's needs before the financial concerns of local authorities.

  • Low Emission Zone Exemption for Taxis
    1) The Scottish Government has declared a climate emergency. Many local authorities, including Scotland’s biggest city, Glasgow, have stated intentions to become carbon neutral by 2030, seven years ahead of schedule. Rather than push taxi operators into diesel (euro 6) upgrades by January 1st, 2023, with only modest CO2 reductions, 2027 would allow the electric taxi market to develop and offer future-proof vehicle upgrades. 2) The taxi trade has been disproportionately affected by the coronavirus crisis. The trade depends greatly on the hospitality, leisure travel and tourism sectors. It is no exaggeration to suggest that the future of on demand, fully wheelchair accessible Hackney cab transport is at serious risk.

  • Clean up Newcastle's West End!
    For years, we've had a major problem with litter and fly-tipping in the West End. Despite the Council introducing communal bins to some areas, there has been inadequate action to tackle all of the issues. The shopping areas along West Road and Westgate Hill, Adelaide Terrace, Elswick Road, Slatyford Lane and Two Ball Lonnen and the back lanes in the terraces of Arthur's Hill, Benwell, Elswick and Wingrove are particularly badly affected. Children have to walk though rubbish on their way to school and when playing out. Local businesses are affected as the litter problems reflect poorly on the West End. Local residents are fed up with so much rubbish in their gardens, streets and parks. Litter looks unsightly, pollutes our environment, harms our wildlife and attracts vermin - the West End deserves better!

  • Provision of full-time Reception places by 21st September
    1) Enable parents to work - the current timetable is unworkable for full-time working parents. 2) Help settle the children better - the current timetable will require parents to share childcare, placing children in environments they are unfamiliar with. This will add to the stress of starting at a new a school. The school created the timetable to help children settle better. However, it is believed the opposite will be true if parents are seeking out childcare from unfamiliar providers.

  • Government funding for family members.
    Family members are treated like every other child in the inclusive childminding settings. Payment support is available for them too, such as universal credit, tax free childcare and childcare vouchers. It is only the funding which is not allowed. It is unfair to potentially move a settled child from their learning setting just because they are family and will not receive the 15/30 hours funding in the family members setting because of this reason.

  • Monkbretton Cemetery Barnsley
    Monkbretton cemetery has been a target of thefts from loved ones graves, including one of my family members. It’s clearly distressing to even understand why someone would steal from a sacred place.

  • Conjugal visits in the UK
    It is important because it would maintain family ties, bonds and connections giving the prisoner a reason to believe that the chances of returning to an ordinary family life is possible after their release from prison. They also provide an incentive to comply with the various rules and regulations while they are incarcerated.
