Speeding motorists are creating a very unsafe environment for the elderly, children and animals.

Currently there is no limit at all on the proximity of fossil fuel extraction to nuclear installations despite the known risks of induced seismic activity. Given the vast uncertainty regarding the classification of nuclear materials at both Sellafield in Cumbria and Springfields in Lancashire at the very least there should be a moratorium on fossil fuel extraction within the vicinity of nuclear installations. We call for an immediate ban on the extraction of fossil fuels near nuclear installations while a comprehensive inquiry is undertaken. This inquiry should include the worst-case scenarios that could result from induced seismic activity near existing and planned nuclear installations. The inquiry should be undertaken honestly and transparently and be fully independent of current pro-nuclear government policy. WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING SELLAFIELD AND COAL (the plan for the proposed Moorside nuclear reactors would be even nearer to the proposed coal mining activity) "The prospect of reopening and extending the Whitehaven Coal Mine with licenses extending to within a few miles of the decrepit and highly dangerous Sellafield nuclear waste complex is ringing alarm bells in North Wales where we experienced a 5.4 Richter scale earthquake in 1984, the largest ever recorded in Britain. Deliberately creating seismic dangers by reopening this mine so close to the deadliest stockpile of nuclear waste at Sellafield is a deliberately wreckless act of environmental vandalism. PAWB supports Radiation Free Lakeland’s call for an immediate moratorium on fossil fuel extraction, either coal or fracking, within the vicinity of the nuclear installations at Heysham, Sellafield and Springfields because of the obvious seismic risks.” Dylan Morgan on behalf of the anti-nuclear campaign group PAWB, Pobl Atal Wylfa B / People Against Wylfa B http://stop-wylfa.org/wp/ SPRINGFIELDS AND FRACKING “It beggars belief that a fracking pad is being constructed five miles from the Springfields Nuclear Fabrication plant and their nearby nuclear waste dump at Clifton Marsh landfill. We have already witnessed the effects of induced seismicity in the area from one frack at Preese Hall six years ago. Cuadrilla is planning 40-60 wells on the super pad at Preston New Road and maybe up to 100 other pads throughout the Fylde. The area is heavily faulted making it more susceptible not only to seismicity but also to groundwater contamination from the Clifton Marsh nuclear dump. For Sajid Javid to overrule Lancashire County Council’s decision and allow these two forms of extreme energy to sit side-by-side is madness. The people of Lancashire are unprotected and the public health implications are enormous. Pam Foster from RAFF (Residents Action on Fylde Fracking) http://stopfyldefracking.org.uk/ Martyn Lowe from Close Capenhurst Campaign says that: “The danger of something happening at Springfields with any of the Uranium Hexaflouride which is on the site is already very worrying. If there was even a very minor earth tremor as the result of fracking, then it might well increase the odds of something really nasty happening at the site. I very much doubt if Toshiba Westinghouse or the Office for Nuclear Regulation have factored in such a danger in to any of their emergency procedures about what would happen to the plant.” http://close-capenhurst.org.uk/ LIQUEFACTION AT SELLAFIELD AND SPRINGFIELDS? "Induced seismic activity from fossil fuel extraction would not have stand alone consequences in this part of the North West. For example The North West of England has been the only area in the UK ever to have suffered a liquefaction event following a rather minor earthquake near Barrow (now home to Trident) in 1865 following vast mining operations at nearby Hodbarrow. The magnitude was small "probably in the range 2.5–3.5 ML". (pure and applied geophysics November 1998, Volume 152, Issue 4, pp 733–745). A liquefaction event at Sellafield or Springfields would be catastrophic and not only for the North West!" Marianne Birkby from Radiation Free Lakeland https://mariannewildart.wordpress.com/ Even a small buffer zone of 10 miles would be better than the current situation of no proximity limit.

The Victorian legacy of Col North at Avery Hill comprises the magnificent but semi-derelict Winter Garden, the highest in the country and second largest after Kew; and the 'hidden gem' of his former Mansion, comprising his ballroom and picture gallery (used by the University as its library); his sculpture gallery (the entrance to the library); the entrance portico and lounge (now the senior common room). See the campaign video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RD-AFaUGZik Since the collapse of the University's Lottery bid in December 2014, which would have re-united the Winter Garden and Mansion into one cohesive heritage, tourist and education resource, the campaign has been seeking to revive the spirit of this bid. Although around £4m+ funds have been pledged by the University - following representations to them by the council - from its proposed sale to the DfE for creation of a 1,100 student Harris academy boys' secondary school, the current proposal is that the Mansion becomes part of the school. The campaign (https://www.averyhillpark.org.uk/the-campaign.html) is awaiting the final detailed proposals from the DfE, expected in the New Year. However, in meetings both with them and Greenwich Council planners, the campaign has expressed its reservations as follows: - excessive traffic will be generated by the new school, adding to the already generated by Crown Woods; - access to the park by vehicle may become restricted or prohibited at certain hours; - the impact of the school design on the view of the Winter Garden from the park; - the impact of the school design in terms of railings and the loss of the area's natural 'Mansion' ambience; - potential damage to the Mansion's heritage assets from use by a large boys' secondary school and the inappropriate ownership of a heritage asset by a school rather than a Trust dedicated to its preservation and use by the public for recreation, functions, art, culture, tourism and education; - the central requirement for a viable business plan for the Winter Garden's future; the HLF saw ownership of the adjoining Mansion as crucial to its viability; - concern over lack of proposals to re-create the three links running between Mansion and the three wings of the Winter Garden, which would create a fully flexible heritage asset. The Campaign held a very well-attended public meeting in October 2019 and is gearing up for a major public campaign in the New Year to lobby for its agenda as the planning process unfolds in 2020.

Beacause The Tories paid over 1.BILLION TO DUP our taxpayers money we will get this back and this is a good way to start by decreasing there way of means to live a normal life ...i checked and this is the average wage for westminster..

It is important to realise that even people who are on the middle or lower income bracket are entitled to homeownership, even if they haven’t met the minimum income requirements or do not have millions to show in their bank statements. People have different means to cope with their limited budget, and being able to work through their tight finances and manage to pay rent on time is more than enough reason to help these people purchase their own home. Mortgage Advice Brighton started this petition with the goal of helping tenants throughout the seemingly impossible path to homeownership. Join us in our fight by signing this petition today!

Current planning law states that if a developer will make less than 20% profit on a new development, they can ignore a council's regulations about building affordable and social housing. Leaked documents from several developers have shown that the maths they use to work out their profit margins are purposefully misleading, allowing them to claim they will make less than 20% profit on a development by undervaluing the prices of the houses they will sell and over-costing the labour. To combat this Islington, Greenwich, Lambeth and Bristol councils have introduced a policy that forces developers "viability assessments" to be made public. By bringing their faulty maths into the public domain, Councils, campaigning groups and individuals will be enabled to hold developers to account and force them to use more honest maths.

It is important for one simple reason: It puts people out of jobs. Let's start with stopping Ocado's trials for self-driving vehicles in London, and then move on to stopping drones, self service points in supermarkets, and anywhere else that threatens hard working people' jobs and only serves to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.

Today, following a Freedom of Information request, it was revealed shocking statistics that show that hundreds of addresses in the UK are considered 'dangerous places' for paramedics to go into. It is a sad state of affairs when it is unsafe for men and women, seeking only to help people in need of urgent medical attention, cannot enter a property without police escorts in place to protect them from harm. The homes have been blacklisted by the Ambulance Service because of previous incidents in which paramedics have been physically assaulted, (including being stabbed and beaten), subjected to verbal abuse or been attacked by dangerous dogs. The ambulance service is right to take every precaution to ensure the safety of its crews, but it is depressing that so many incidents are occurring. The tide of attacks on mercy crews is sadly still on the rise nationwide. Let's hope that this shameful tide turns soon and that the paramedics, who do such good work, will no longer be at such risk.

This kind of policy should also be introduced in Liverpool. By bringing these dodgy maths into the public domain, Councils, campaigning groups and individuals will be able to hold developers to account and force them to use more honest maths. There are a number of internationally recognised projects working in Liverpool towards the development of new housing models, but the battle for affordable, high quality housing inevitably needs to be fought on many fronts. Changing the legislation to ensure all developers meet their responsibilities to the communities in which they are building will have tangible benefits to the people in the city.

On Monday 26 June 2017, there was a serious accident on Westferry Road, in Canary Wharf Ward, Isle of Dogs, Tower Hamlets - an elderly woman was hit by a lorry and she is now, tragically, fighting for her life in hospital. As a local ward councillor, I am in contact with the family on regular basis and she remains in a critical condition. The family is grateful for many people who have shown concern and requesting everyone for prayers. I have sent an urgent message to the Council requesting a meeting with the Highways Officer to highlight the concerns on behalf of the residents. Many residents and stakeholders believe that in spite of 20 Mph speed limit – many vehicles go dangerously fast at this community hub with the local school, park, medical centre and shops, pubs etc. The zebra crossing - used by local residents, visitors and children - is not good or secure enough. We just can't afford any more accidents. Thank you, Cllr Maium Miah Canary Wharf ward 07983 798 791 London Borough of Tower Hamlets Town Hall, Mulberry Place 5 Clove Crescent London E14 2BG
