We are running out of time to avoid runaway climate change, it is now time to stop the rhetoric and incorporate Ecocide into uk law in order to incentivise people to act more responsibly.

Middlewick is situated in Colchester Essex which is the first recorded town in England. The Government want the area to be be sold off for housing and local people who use the area for recreational use want this area to be protected. The local people have seen lots of species that are on the protection list including trees in the area and want to encourage more species to flourish in this area. it has great potential as a nature reserve especially as parts of the area are already protected. Local people also feel that more housing would cause problems in so many ways including poor air quality more crime and mental health problems as well as noting the area does not have the infrastructure to cope with more housing. It is so important to protect this land so that animals have a safe haven, and we can find out and learn about our heritage culture and get a better understanding of our environment. So much could be done with this land including country walks, camping, cycling trails, conservation projects and so much more please dont let more concrete destroy this beautiful countryside.

Children who suffer abuse often think it is their fault By refusing to compensate them the government and the Ministry of Justice is reinforcing that belief The abused will suffer the effects for the rest of their lives, please do not add to their trauma by accusing them of inviting the abuse by a tacit consent The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) has refused payments to almost 700 child victims even if their attackers have been jailed, freedom of information requests have revealed.

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 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.

The plastic waste in our oceans and open land is growing, this is killing off many wonderful species, farm animals and birds. It is also getting into the food chain and is toxic. "Biodegradable" balloons burst to look like jellyfish and take 6 months to rot away, but balloon manufacturers say "as fast as an oak leaf", so people assume they are fast rotting. Lastly, helium is a finite resource which should not be used for balloon releases.

The alignment of state pension age for both sexes has resulted in serious financial disadvantage for women born in the early 1950s. A retrospective compensation payment to this group will be a significant financial issue, and this petition, though sympathetic, is not aligning itself to this cause. It is widely known that many women are suffering from financial problems due to the pensions mess and there are many petitions fighting this cause. Having a free bus pass will help alleviate some of the problems that these women face.

It is an iconic building donated to local authority in middle 1840's for the use of local community uses despite of this restriction the Ealing Council is leasing it out for 250 years. The building came to prominence in 1979 when the community rose up and confronted the National Front from holding the meeting at this building. In process over 800 people were arrested and 344 were charged; and Blair Peach died by the hands of Special Petrol Group. This was inspiration for anti-racist struggle in whole country and indeed internationally. Proposal had been sent to Ealing Council to maintain the building at no cost to them and Infact offering rent of £30,000 - but the Council had not stopped the sale.

The rainforests of the world have been devastated in the last 50 years, 80% of the worlds rainforests have already been removed, This must stop now, millions of already endangered animals and insects will be affected and killed by this. Out future generations won't know what rainforests are if we don't act now.

This is important because: • Mountain Ash and neighbouring communities who use the Jobcentre Plus at Mountain Ash have a high level of digital exclusion. The Jobcentre Plus provides vital support for the local population to regularly access job opportunities • The distance between Aberdare and Mountain Ash does not take into account the distance some claimants already have to travel to attend the Mountain Ash office. • The extra cost of travel must be taken into account and assurance given that no claimant will be out of pocket if this closure goes ahead • Mountain Ash and its neighbouring communities are recognised as amongst the most deprived communities in Wales. This closure will be another blow to an already impoverished community. • Many claimants suffer from ill-health, often including mental ill-health, and require support as locally as possible. • This Tory Government decision to centralise facilities and take staff from local (and deprived) communities, flies in the face of the Welsh Government Strategy ‘Better Jobs, Closer to Home’. This petition is organised by Welsh Labour Grassroots RCT & People’s Assembly RCT and supported by: Mountain Ash Branch Labour Party; Cllr. Andrew Morgan; Cllr. Wendy Treeby; Cynon Valley Constituency Labour Party; Ann Clwyd, Member of Parliament; Vikki Howells, Assembly Member; PCS Union Wales, DWP Bridgend / RCT Branch; Accessible News, Aberdare and Disabled People Against the Cuts.

The residents of Princess Mary Gate have contributed over the years to the maintenance and growth of the planting around the development. Many of us are very angry at the decision to simply rip out many plants and trees and replace them with grassed areas.

It is important that Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service continue to provide a specialist rescue capability operating from the strategic locations of Taunton, Yeovil and Glastonbury - that Firefighters based at those locations can maintain their skills and experience for the benefit of those living, working, visiting or passing through the geographical area of Somerset. A loss of this provision will be detrimental to this life safety in the Somerset community and can not adequately be provided from further afield locations outwith the County area. It is a strategically important capability that the County has had for many years and should continue to have provided by Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service.
