  • We demand a public meeting to discuss the plight of the homeless in Wrexham
    The issue of homelessness has escalated locally, with an estimated 61, people sleeping rough locally as of October 2016 (roughly 20% of the total estimated rough sleepers in Wales). As a result of the inadequate services available some people have set up an encampment in the grounds of the former Groves school, a listed building. This building is close to residential housing and the camp is of concern to local people who fear that hygiene and safety practices are compromised. The individuals living on the site and elsewhere in Wrexham are in desperate need of a long term solution. In the short term there needs to be regular emptying of the skip and portaloo that the council have provided and access to the site in the event of an emergency. There are many groups and individuals in the area taking an interest in this issue and it is only fair that they are all able to hear the council's response to these issues in the interest of openess and transparency as should be expected from our elected representatives.

  • Epilepsy training in all nurserys/school/colleges.
    It is very important to raise more awareness about Epilepsy and how to help someone if they are having a seizure. There are over 40 types of seizure and a child/adult could start having seizures at anytime. I think it is so important for teachers to be tought how to recognise the different types of seizures and also knowing what to do in an emergancy situation. I think it should be compulsory training that all education setting should have to do.

  • Save Notting Hill police station
    Notting Hill police station serves all of North Kensington and is situated less than a mile from the Grenfell Tower area. It has been, and still is, an important support centre for the residents and communities affected by the most devastating disaster this nation has experienced in decades. By closing the police station and relocating its staff 1.3 miles further south, people in the north of the borough will feel even more alienated. In addition, Portobello Road, the home of the world’s largest antiques market, is a few blocks from the station. It is visited by millions of Londoners and tourists each year. Also, Kensington and Chelsea has the second highest crime rate of all London boroughs. and of the current 73 police stations in London, Notting Hill is the 16th most visited by the public for reporting a crime. As the borough commander, Chief Superintendent Ellie O’Connor, said at a hastily organised public consultation meeting on 15 August: “If ever there is a time when we should be supporting this borough, it is now” – and keeping the only remaining policing station in the north of the borough is critical in achieving this. And what will happen to the old Victorian police station building if it is closed? The Chelsea police station was sold in December 2015 to a tax haven company for £40 million, which within just a few months sold it on to an investment company in the UAE for at least £50 million (the exact sales figure is a secret). That company plans to turn the site into yet another luxury flat development. We foresee a similar destiny for Notting Hill police station if it is sold as planned. Please sign this petition to save Notting Hill police station! In response to government cuts to the Metropolitan Police budget of £600 million since 2010, the number of police stations open to the public in London have already been reduced from 149 to 73. To resolve a further government budget reduction of £400 million during the next four years, it is now proposed to reduce those 73 to 32 – and Notting Hill police station is one of those proposed to be closed down and sold off. The Kensington police station would then be the only remaining police station in the Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. According to the budget cut proposal, all boroughs except Westminster will only retain one police station each. The loss of police stations is to be compensated by the creation of a better police website and by providing each ward with two patrolling ward officers instead of one. However, these will only patrol their wards during office hours. We therefore demand that the RBKC Council lobbies central government for funds to keep Notting Hill police station open.

Our school plyaing fields and leisure facilities are important to our wellbeing. Brinkburn School Community fields are essential to the survival of a lot of grass roots sport in South Shields. The fields are used by Football, Rugby, Athletics, Archery and more and are an essential resource to ensure local people of all ages have the opportunity to stay active and healthy. Support our campaign to save these playing fields; we need them now and as an investment in all of our futures.

  • Campaign for Outdoor Gym in Sir John McDougal Park, Westferry Road, E14
    The benefits and reasons to have public outdoor gyms in parks are well established. The outdoor public gyms enhance the local area, have positive impact on the public health locally and can improve the quality and versatility of its green and open spaces. However, the decision where to install these must be made in a transparent manner by the Mayor and the Council. Research conducted by Liverpool John Moores University found: • 75% or more of participants believed that outdoor gyms are easily accessible to them. • Beneficial for their health. • Enjoyable to use - 70% of participants find exercising outdoors is more beneficial for health than exercising indoors. 80% of participants find exercise more enjoyable when outdoors than indoors. In addition, outdoor public gyms in parks help in: 1. Cutting obesity - encouraging healthy living for all. 2. Providing free exercise equipment, enabling those who do not have the money for a gym membership to exercise. 3. Proving a family-friendly environment - a great way for parents to encourage their children to exercise. Even if children are too young to use the equipment themselves seeing adults working out in an environment that they are familiar with helps to make this seem like a natural part of daily life. As well as this, outdoor gym equipment in parks is an ideal way for families with older children to get out and exercise together. Cllr Maium Miah

  • Stop Carers Allowance from being taxable
    As, Carers are the lowest paid in society and do it to look after their loved ones its putting an impact on Carers financially,which is forceing them to work or deter them from claiming Carers Allowance. Putting a strain on Social Services, Health providers and the NHS. As Caring for a relative on a low income is financially constraining with DWP rulings affecting other income. A review needs to be looked into classing Carers Allowance as a income.

  • for mental health and drugs and alcohol to come under one umbrella
    Because young people with drug and alcohol problems are turned away by mental health, and the two agencies do not work together even though a majority of drug and alcohol users have mental health problems .. these young people are then left without help and are let down by the system. most of the time these young people because they do not receive the treatment they so deserve they then turn to drugs and alcohol as a means of self medicating (dual diagnosis) many young people in prisons should be in hospital NOT in prision the system has failed them repeatedly. Medication and rehabilitation should be made available simultaneously for dual diagnosis especially revolving door patients.
