• Say No to Outside Seating at the Duke of Buckingham Pub Old Portsmouth
    1. Anti-social behaviour associated with the pub is an ongoing problem that the Landlords do not adequately deal with in a quiet residential neighbourhood close to schools and sheltered housing. We believe the proposal will make worse the noise, littering & intimidatory pavement blocking already occurring at a time when social distancing is mandatory. 2. The Safety of drinkers and residents will be impacted with seating placed on the road in parking spaces & at the rear in the public highway turning circle on a very quiet residential street. 3. The proposal takes scarce parking spaces from local residents.

  • Help Local Dog Boarders Reduce Barking Mad Licence Fees
    We are micro-businesses and sole traders offering a very special, home-from-home, dog boarding experience for dog lovers. We are not massive kennel operators, yet the license fee doesn’t differentiate, and we are being asked to pay exactly the same fee as a Commercial Kennels. There are more than 110 micro businesses and sole traders across the Joint Public Protection Partnership area who may now be forced to close as a direct consequence of this license fee increase. We desperately don’t want to close because we are all passionate about the dogs we take care of and we pride ourselves in offering a unique boarding experience for our clients and their dogs. As an example of the license increase we are facing: for the financial years 2018 - 20, the Bracknell Forest renewal licence fee was £119 per annum. From this year (2020-21), the Joint Public Protection Partnership increased the fee by a massive 375% to a total of £570 per annum. The fine laid down by DEFRA, for failing to obtain a licence, is set at £500 which is less than the total cost of renewal! Such a large increase cannot be considered fair or justified and, is contrary to the principle that local government is there to help and support local businesses thrive. There was no consultation process with us as home boarding providers, and the Joint Public Protection Partnership did not provide affected businesses with any prior notification of the license fee increases. Many home boarding providers have a very low turnover, and are already struggling with a downturn in bookings caused by the Covid-19 pandemic; a significant number will be unable to pay. They will either be forced to cease trading or have to increase their prices considerably to cover this huge increase. And this is why it affects us all! Please sign this petition and help us to prevent this from happening.

  • Washington Street litter campaign
    The bins are used by non Washington Street residents as one of the only streets in Hanover with communal bins. Fly tipping happens on a daily basis, microwaves, beds, furniture etc and litter is strewn everywhere along the road and streets. Once the bins get full the lids do not close and the seagulls then get in creating more mess. It's unhygienic and the bins are a total eye sore.

  • Get Rid of the IPP sentence that was abolished
    I was given an IPP sentence on the day they made changes that to the sentence so you could not receive small tariffs. I have been out of prison since Oct 2013, but not everyone has Bren lucky to get parole and since all of this the sentence has been abolished. It is important to me as an IPP released prisoner, the sentence messes with people mentally and people are suffering and being forget about in prison.

  • Continued support for clinically vulnerable and their households
    The government made a decision at the beginning of the lockdown to stop ICU and funeral homes being overwhelmed by asking the most vulnerable to shield themselves from catching the disease, and offering them support to do so. Now that the prevalence of Covid-19 is lower in the UK, it is less likely that people out and about will catch it, so even if those who are considered likely to become seriously ill or die should catch COVID-19, the numbers in ICU or dying will not be so great as to overwhelm the capacity in NHS or funeral homes. The government has therefore Made the decision to say that the vulnerable will no longer be advised to shield themselves from 1/8. This doesn’t mean that these people are no longer at risk if they do catch the disease, just that as fewer people in the population are infectious, they are less likely to come into contact with them and catch the disease. Those who will probably die if they catch the virus will lose government support to continue to shield themselves beyond 1/8, that’s fine if they don’t don’t need government support, so the wealthier will be OK. What about those who could catch the disease when they go back to work (no further government support to stay off work - SSP For shielding to end), what about those who could catch the disease out shopping (if they can’t afford to pay extra for delivery), what about those who could catch the disease at the job centre (unemployed people must attend to continue to receive benefits)? Obviously the government must continue to open the economy so that those who are at little risk can return to something like normal, but this should not be at the expense of the Most vulnerable people - those living with serious medical conditions, who are also very poor! The government should continue to offer financial support to poorer people who are at high risk of dying if they catch the illness, if they and their family decide that they wish to continue to shield until there is a cure or vaccine for COVID-19.

  • Cycle tracks in Farnham
    Farnham has worse air pollution than 97% of British towns, plus serious road and car park congestion threatening the viability of Farnham's shops. Worse still, air pollution now kills more people than smoking. Getting people out of cars and onto bikes can help with all of these problems.

  • Elderly Care Home Residents Left Stranded Without Family
    Many elderly people are confined to their rooms and in some cases bed-bound. Despite the best efforts of care home staff, they are heavily reliant on meeting family members to maintain a reasonable quality of life and mental well-being. The families of care home residents also experience great stress through not being able to see elderly relatives. Recent research has established that elderly people deprived of visits by family and friends will deteriorate both mentally and physically.

  • Get the 410 back on Auckland AND keep the Low Traffic Neighbourhood
    We've enjoyed the quieter roads that we've had because of roadworks and lockdown. We want to keep Auckland Road as it is: 1. No longer a rat run with threatening speeds and dangerous overtaking. 2. Less polluted, less noisy, less traffic jams. A liveable neighbourhood. 3. The freedom to allow people to walk, cycle and scoot. This all contributes to a stronger, healthier community. We DO want to see a return of the 410 bus. The bus gate will: 1. Allow the elderly, the young and the less able-bodied the chance to visit Crystal Palace and Croydon without walking too far. 2. Allow the bus to travel without getting stuck in traffic jams. A quicker, more efficient service! This would begin to transform the area. This will be a "change for good".... #streetspace
